AI Summary
This bill, the Afghan Adjustment Act, aims to provide support for nationals of Afghanistan who supported the United States mission in Afghanistan. It defines key terms like "special immigrant status" and "specified application," and expresses the sense of Congress that these Afghan nationals have demonstrably aided the U.S. mission and should receive increased support. The bill establishes an Interagency Task Force to develop and oversee a strategy and contingency plan for resettling these Afghan allies, and allows for the adjustment of status to lawful permanent residence for certain eligible individuals present in the U.S. The bill also creates a new category of special immigrant visas for at-risk Afghan allies and relatives of certain members of the U.S. Armed Forces, and authorizes appropriations to carry out the provisions of the Act.
