individual
s who

Individuals Already Inside the U.S.
The travel ban seems to limit only physical entry into the U.S.
It seems that individuals already in the U.S. would still be eligible for adjustment of status immigrant visas or green cards or change of status from one nonimmigrant visa category to another.
Immigrant visa holders already in the U.S. permanent residents or green card holders who travel abroad should be able to return to the U.S.
Nonimmigrant visa holders already in the U.S. who travel abroad would be subject to the ban when they try to return to the U.S.
