This is not pure travel, but tilts to residence. So if someone stays the whole year - verification can take longer. The USA was always built on attracting smart, brilliant, ambitious people. Those who bans them now, are using the wealth the previous generations, created in this way that is now blocked. They are cutting the resource from their future generations. But this is good news to the rest of the world - other countries will benefit.
