It appears that the answer is up in the air because of the Trump travel ban on five mostly Muslim countries including Iran and the unwillingness of the State Department to grant waivers which supposedly can be given to especially those with close family ties to US citizens. As of April 2018, only 579 waivers were granted from 33,176 applicants.
