Since there is a Portuguese passport, due to the double citizenship, the World Cup champion has not crossed the traditional application for American visa demand to the Brazilians and expected to be released, as with all the citizens of the European Union.
Cuba has become part of the United States government list as one of the “sponsors of terrorism” in January 2021. With this, Cuban or passing through the country cannot enter the United States.
Since he hired the presidency of the United States, Trump has hardened migratory policy and has announced a series of rules. Last week, he said that student social networks will be monitored to decide the visa.
“Some cases include the refusal of entry or detention based on the content seen on devices, such as political memes, connection with” extremist “groups or even illegal use of substances”, partner of Godke Advogados and specialist in international law, focused on the migration of the United States.
The big question, raised by the experts, is that direction for migratory agents has become increasingly interpretative and less explicit. Whoever defines whether the group is “extremist” or not this officer, for example.
“Legally speaking they can do it,” said Fernando. “The United States government has large discretionary powers. Legislation provides that non -citizens can be prohibited for” reasons of inadmissibility “, including national security and on the basis of conduct and opinion,” he said.
During the campaign, Trump based his speeches on the first amendment of the constitution of the country, which provides for freedom of religion, expression, press, meeting and petition.

According to the teacher, the change in the way of granting visas can also be seen from a political point of view, as a way to make the idea defend the republicans before other countries.
“The logic to use these blocks, apparently, is to strengthen the Trump authority and create a hostile environment there, even within the United States, to oppose the way in which the American foreign and internal politics is guiding … wants to take revenge on all those who were against its elections, both American and foreigners. And in the case of foreigners, it is easier,” he explained.
Visa review
According to Cantto, decisions on foreign visas can be revised, even those who have already reached. “The government can revoke existing visas if you think that the bearer has become inadmissible for actions or behaviors that emerge later, including digital content. The visas were revoked on the basis of old places, in particular the students who criticized Israel’s policies”.
It is noteworthy that the people who have had their requests deny or revoked by the Trump government could ask for the revision of the decision.
“It is possible to contest the waste or the revocation with the USCIS or the State Department. There is an option for legal motions or requests for revaluation,” he explains.
