AI Summary
This bill, the "Honoring Our Promises through Expedition for Afghan SIVs Act of 2021" or the "HOPE for Afghan SIVs Act of 2021," would allow the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security to jointly issue a blanket waiver of the medical examination requirement for Afghan special immigrant visa (SIV) applicants prior to issuance of an immigrant visa or admission to the United States. The waivers can be extended for up to one year at a time, and the Secretary of Homeland Security must establish procedures to ensure these individuals complete the medical examination within 30 days of admission.
