over 50? Born in Aden?
"Mildly" Eccentric Stardriver
Aden pre 30 Nov '67 wasn't Yemen. It was a British Protectorate (I think, if not still part of the Empire) so I guess if you were the child of the "Occupying Forces" you'd be British Citizen.

Many people - including Sir Mo - seem not to have read the small print. (I assume this is about the Donald's travel restrictions.)
The restrictions apply - it seems to me - if you have a passport from one of those countries, AND are travelling directly from that country to the US of A.
But never let the facts get in the way of a good knee-jerk!

Why, are you having a reunion?
No restriction on UK-Yemeni citizens travelling to the USA from either the U.K. or Yemen - if you were making a making an oblique remark about the latest US presidential order.
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/p...igration-to-us
"The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has today held conversations with the US Government and as a result we can clarify that:
The Presidential executive order only applies to individuals travelling from one of the seven named countries.
If you are travelling to the US from anywhere other than one of those countries (for instance, the UK) the executive order does not apply to you and you will experience no extra checks regardless of your nationality or your place of birth.
If you are a UK national who happens to be travelling from one of those countries to the US, then the order does not apply to you – even if you were born in one of those countries.
If you are a dual citizen of one of those countries travelling to the US from OUTSIDE those countries then the order does not apply to you.
The only dual nationals who might have extra checks are those coming from one of the seven countries themselves – for example a UK-Libya dual national coming from Libya to the US....."
If that doesn't answer your question, there's a thread in Jet Blast.

Children of UK service personnel, born outside of the UK are treated as something less than 100% UK citizens by the USA. This has been so since before Trumps executive order.
I am aware that someone born at RAF Akrotiri Hospital, which is inside the Sovereign Base Area, have 'Cyprus' as their place of birth, in their UK Passport!
This complicates applications for US visa's.

I'm pretty sure there no direct flights from Iran (for instance) to the US, so this doesn't would seem in theory (and practice) to be applying to anybody from the 7 countries. Iranian PhD student stopped in Frankfurt - for example.
ian16th - all too true unfortunately. Both my sons were born in Cyprus (one BMH, the other TPMH), both have full British passports with place of birth Cyprus, and both have had problems with US authorities (at different times). However, I should also add that once things were explained properly it seems the database was suitably amended and they have not had problems since.

Existing airline systems don't send API/PNR messages to the transit airport for transit passengers , so their security services don't get informed. Instead the information is sent to the final destination airport, in this case the DHS et al.
Where the passengers disembark and clear security and check-in again they will be relying on the transit nation security services to take action.

One wonders why Trump would have chosen to restrict Muslims travelling to the US???????
Other left wing, liberal, ultra PC, Democratic Party supporting folks wonder why people elected someone like Trump?????
The world is truly a mysterious place.

Statistics show that by far the majority of terror attacks in the US since 9/11 have been carried out by either US born citizens or naturalised citizens (over 200) while non-immigrant visa holders, illegal immigrants and refugees account for about 30. (source - New America) He would be better beefing up surveillance of the home-grown terrorist.

I thought Muslims can still travel, I don't recall passports showing religion. As for travel bans, try wandering around the world with an Israeli stamp in your passport. I demand immediate protests.

Never had any problem myself (Born in PMH Akrotiri) and, of course, as a UK citizen there is no visa requirement to travel to the US (except recently for those that have visited Iraq, Iran Syria and others in the last 6 years). On the other hand, if my mother had not been CASEVAC'd to Cyprus, in late pregnancy, things might have been different as I'd have been born in Libya (father based in Tobruk)!
This was the problem that my friends child had.
Must amplify, it is all hearsay as I have a 100% UK born of UK parents, plus 6 documented generations, UK passport, and always travelled to and from the USA on a B2 visa.

My understanding was that being born 'outside of the United Kingdom' disqualifies one from 'visa free entry' to the USA.
Maybe easier for the cousins to understand Germany because of all their troops and families there.....
