If a person has German and Syrian citizenship, can they get humanitarian parole to enter the US, despite the travel ban for Syrian citizens? I applied for a B1/B2 tourist visa with my German passport and have been waiting for seven months for application processing. My need to travel is urgent. I want to visit a seriously ill relative who lives in the US.


Here's an update: My relative's senator is working on the issue, and the word is that we're waiting for security clearance from Washington.

Advance Parole is for people with certain pending applications in the US like Adjustment of Status or asylum, or certain statuses that cannot re-enter the US, like TPS, to leave the US and return to the US to resume the pending application or status. It doesn't apply to your situation.

You might be able to get humanitarian parole, which is for someone outside the US who can't get a visa.

Another option might be to contact the congressman or senator of your relative's district, and see if they can get your visa application expedited.

If you have a German passport than you should be fine to visit the USA without any issues as "Dual nationals traveling on a non-banned passport" are exempt from the ban
