Green Card holders from one of the seven affected countries who are currently outside the US will need a case by case waiver to return to America, according to the official.
Those Green Card holders in the US will have to meet with a consular officer before leaving the country, the official said.
The official said the administration is still working to define what “in transit” means for the purposes of the hardship exemption for refugees who have been approved to enter the US but are currently in a third country.
