Pass the Afghan Adjustment Act (H.R.8685/S.4787)
A year has passed since Afghanistan fell to the Taliban. More than 300,000 Afghan wartime allies – interpreters & their families – remain left behind. Additionally, more than 70,000 Afghans were admitted to the U.S. as “humanitarian parolees” – a temporary status that does not confer lasting protection or a pathway to permanent U.S. residence. They need our help.
The Afghan Adjustment Act (H.R.8685/S.4787) would allow eligible Afghans to apply for permanent status after one year or two years of U.S. residence and after clearing additional background checks. It relieves the immediate burden on the SIV process and prevents Afghans paroled in the U.S. from losing their jobs or being deported while their applications for these statuses are pending.
Act Now! Tell Congress they MUST pass this critical legislation and ensure that this country keeps its promise to those who served our country's military.
