US-Iranian couple in a dilemma over Trump's order

Muscat: American Felicia Campbell and Iranian MT met and married in Oman eight months ago.
“We were planning on having the big ceremony in the United States, and it was always tricky to get visas. We thought the visa would be approved soon,” Campbell said.
“We’re both in total shock. I am an American citizen and I can’t take a family member to my country?” she asked.

In response to the Executive Order by President Trump, Iran has now also barred US citizens from entering the country. Neither Campbell nor Taghavi can visit each other’s homeland.
“What Iran did felt like an extra punch after the Executive Order, but the reaction of the people in the States has made me feel better. They are fighting to overcome this. I’m just hopeful it will be overturned and found unconstitutional,” Campbell said.
Afsaneh, a Phd student in the United States and formerly an undergraduate student in Oman expressed her disappointment over the ban.
"The ban is absurd. My sister was planning to come from Iran in July for her graduate degree but laws are getting more and more inhospitable. I don’t know whether she will be able to or not. She has applied for the visa already but I hear now that visa processes will be suspended for the seven countries. So she probably won’t be able to come, unfortunately," she said.
Safiya Adam, a Somali national who was born in Oman says, “We couldn’t go to half the countries anyway and now this is just another addition.
“I have family there in the United States so with the new ban, I don’t even know what to say. I was born in Oman, half my family including my father and siblings are Omani, my kids are Omani and I never even visited Somalia but I am still not able to travel to so many countries because of my passport.”
Samiha is a Sudanese national living in Oman for the last five years who works for a private company. She said, “I am clueless about why Trump would put a ban on Sudanese entering the United States, it’s very strange and almost perplexing. Americans can go everywhere but we can’t go to America? It’s offensive.”
