<p>Airlines around the world allowed people to board flights as usual to the United States.</p>
<p>One lawyer waiting at New York’s Kennedy Airport said visa and green card holders from Iraq and Iran were encountering no problems as they arrived.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;It’s business as usual,&#8221;</i> said Camille Mackler, of the New York Immigration Coalition.</p>
<p>Fariba Tajrostami, a 32-year-old painter from Iran, came through the gate at Kennedy with a huge smile and tears in her eyes as her brothers greeted her with joyful hugs. <i>&#8220;I’m very happy. I haven’t seen my brothers for nine years,&#8221;</i> she said.</p>
<p>Tajrostami had tried to fly to the US from Turkey more than a week ago but was turned away.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;I was crying and was so disappointed,&#8221;</i> she said.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;Everything I had in mind, what I was going to do, I was so disappointed about everything. I thought it was all over.&#8221;</i></p>
<p>Tajrostami said she hopes to study art in the US and plans to join her husband in Dallas soon. He moved from Iran six months ago, has a green card and is working at a car dealership.</p>
<p>Similar scenes played out across the US two days after a judge in Washington state suspended the president’s travel ban and just hours after a federal appeals court denied the Trump administration’s request to set aside the ruling.</p>

<p>The US cancelled the visas of up to 60,000 foreigners in the week after the ban on travel from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Sudan, Somalia, Libya and Yemen took effect, according to the State Department.</p>
<p>Mr Trump also suspended nearly all refugee admissions for 120 days and barred Syrian refugees indefinitely.</p>
<p>The order triggered protests and a multitude of legal challenges around the country and blocked numerous college students, researchers and others from entering the US.</p>
<p>Mahsa Azabadi, 29, an Iranian-American who lives in Denver, was forced to put her wedding plans on hold after her fiance, Sorena Behzadfar, was turned away when he tried to board a plane to travel from Iran to the US on January 28.</p>
<p>Over the weekend, though, Mr Behzadfar was cleared for travel and was expected to arrive at Boston’s Logan Airport on Sunday.</p>
<p>The couple are hoping to keep their wedding date of May 12.</p>
<p>Iranian researcher Nima Enayati, a PhD candidate at a university in Milan, was prevented from boarding a flight to the US on January 30. He had a visa to conduct research on robotic surgery at Stanford University.</p>

<p>On Sunday, he said his check-in went smoothly on a flight to New York, where he was expected to arrive Sunday evening.</p>
<p>At Cairo airport on Sunday, officials said a total of 33 US-bound migrants from Yemen, Syria and Iraq boarded flights.</p>
<p>Lebanon’s National News Agency said airlines operating out of Beirut also began allowing Syrian families and others affected by the ban to fly.</p>
<p>Beirut has no direct flights to the US, travellers have to go through Europe.</p>
