Bill > HR6198

This bill aims to increase support for Afghan special immigrant visa and refugee applicants. It expresses the sense of Congress that the United States should prioritize the evacuation of Afghan nationals who aided the U.S. mission and are now under threat from the Taliban. The bill requires the Secretary of State, in coordination with other relevant agencies, to prioritize the evacuation of Afghan special immigrant visa applicants and refugee referrals, facilitate their rapid departure from Afghanistan, engage with other governments to ease transit, provide updates to individuals and organizations, and identify locations outside Afghanistan to process their applications. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to submit a strategy and monthly reports on the number of Afghan nationals referred to the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and the status of their special immigrant visa applications.
