A teenage girl claims her Iranian father has been blocked from visiting the U.S. for her 16th birthday - after 11 years apart.

Donald Trump has blocked people from seven Muslim majority nations - Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen - from entering the United States.

A Muslim 15-year-old girl was among those protesting at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), where she told Australia's Nine News her father has been turned away.

Malikeh Sharifi's father was planning to travel from Iran for Malikeh's 16th birthday, the first time they would have seen each other in 11 years.

'He was supposed to be here this summer. He had all his paperwork and the other day he got an email saying he couldn't come because he is Muslim,' said Malikeh, who has lived in the U.S. for seven years.

'In eighth grade, it was my graduation. I got six scholarships for having a 4.7 GPA. But my dad wasn't there.'

Malikeh said speaking to her father through FaceTime or over the phone was not the same as seeing him.

'I haven't seen my dad in 11 years, and when I was about to see him - he can't come,' she said.

Malikeh said she had cried herself to sleep for 11 years without her father, but said she would not be deterred from being herself.

'I am American but I am not Donald Trump's version of American, nor will I ever be.

'I will fight to the death for who I am. I would rather die a Muslim than live a person I am not.'

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Malikeh for comment.

Thousands of people have descended onto Battery Park in New York, Copley Square in Boston, and international airports across the U.S.

The President on Friday blocked people from Syria, Iraq, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen from entering the United States for at least 90 days.

'I haven't seen my dad in 11 years, and when I was about to see him - he can't come,' Malikeh said

Qantas will offer refunds to any passengers caught up in US President Donald Trump's immigration freeze on seven Muslim-majority nations.

The airline said on Sunday it will change its processes and booking systems following advice from the US government regarding tighter entry conditions.

'Passengers booked on Qantas for travel to the United States who use a passport from Iran, Iraq, Sudan, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Libya have a number of options, including a change to their destination or a refund,' Qantas said in a statement.

Virgin Australia said none of its crew or passengers were so far affected by the ban.

'Virgin Australia always advises its guests travelling internationally to ensure they hold the relevant documentation for entry into that particular country,' the company wrote in a statement supplied to Daily Mail Australia.

'In applying the provisions of the president's executive order, I hereby deem the entry of lawful permanent residents to be in the national interest,' he said.

'Accordingly, absent the receipt of significant derogatory information indicating a serious threat to public safety and welfare, lawful permanent resident status will be a dispositive factor in our case-by-case determinations.'

Trump has defended the executive order but denied it was a 'Muslim ban'.

'America is a proud nation of immigrants and we will continue to show compassion to those fleeing oppression, but we will do so while protecting our own citizens and border,' the White House Press Secretary said in a statement on Sunday.

'This is not about religion – this is about terror and keeping our country safe. There are over 40 different countries worldwide that are majority Muslim that are not affected by this order.'
