The situation is fluid as courts weigh in and different guidance is provided to holders of green cards. Out of an abundance of caution, the best advice as of this writing is that individuals with immigrant or non-immigrant visas or with green cards who are originally from the seven named countries (Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen) should defer travel outside the U.S.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/manoa-campus-260x154.jpg\" alt=\"Students walking in McCarthy Mall\" width=\"260\" height=\"154\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-38280\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/manoa-campus-260x154.jpg 260w, https:\/\/www.hawaii.edu\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/manoa-campus.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 260px) 100vw, 260px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Our international students and scholar support offices are already reaching out directly to the impacted students and faculty we know of with additional support and guidance.
