You need to be able to concoct a so-called "bona fide relationship" with USA to get in now.
The US Supreme Court will hear arguments about President Donald Trump's proposed travel ban against foreign nationals from six majority-Muslim countries in their next term. In the meantime, people with no relationship with the US won't be able to enter.
A "bona fide relationship" would mean “a close familial relationship†to qualify for the exemption, the court said. “As for entities, the relationship must be formal, documented, and formed in the ordinary course, rather than for the purpose of evading†the executive order.
But there is anticipated a flood of litigation, as it was not expedited.
Justice Clarence Thomas dissented in part, noting that he would grant the government’s request in its entirety and objecting to the court “keeping the injunctions in place with regard to an unidentified, unnamed group of foreign nationals abroad.â€
The compromise will invite “a flood of litigation until this case is finally resolved on the merits,†Thomas wrote. His dissent was joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch, the latter of whom was appointed by Trump earlier this year.
The case will be heard "during the first session of October Term 2017,†as the government (USA) "has not requested that we expedite consideration of the merits to a greater extent,†the court said.
