Donald Trump immigration ban: Melbourne High student in US visa knockback

A Melbourne schoolboy claims to be the first Australian denied a US visa following President Donald Trump's controversial entry bans. Pouya Ghadirian, 15, was born in Australia but holds dual Iranian-Australian citizenship by descent.

He said he was planning to go on "space camp", a dream trip to the US with his school, where he would visit Orlando, Washington, and the US Space and Rocket Center in Alabama. His visa interview was set for Monday morning.

But on arriving at the US Consultate office in Melbourne with his dad, things soon turned sour. The consulate officers said the rules had changed.

"They were a bit shocked and they didn't know how to handle it. They said they had terrible news," he says.

"They said it was the first time it had happened in an Australian embassy."

Way to go DFT; this kid was born in Australia and was going on a science trip. Two birds with one stone, you bastard.
