A former U.S. ambassador to Afghanistan believes the Biden administration is hoping the country would simply"go away."
He added:"Recognizing again, it's a hard truth and I wish it otherwise, that this administration is not going to exert a lot of time and effort up up on the Hill to do more for Afghans who need our help, since they're the ones who got them into this mess in the first place with the withdrawal." The backlog of principal Afghan special immigrant visas, which are visas that are available to Iraqis and Afghans who worked with U.S. forces during those wars, was up to nearly 155,000 by December 2022. That number, when including family members, was at 840,000 as of April 2023, roughly 20 months after the end of the war.
NOLB Executive Director Mike Mitchell, Crocker, and Petraeus spoke at length about the importance of expanding the SIV program.
