Thousands of Afghan refugees in America
Thousands of Afghan refugees and former collaborators of the American forces, who looked to the United States in search of better conditions for life after the overthrow of the previous government, are now worried that they will be in danger of being deported from this country after the expiration of their conditional stay.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): The Wall Street Journal wrote on Monday, December 12, in a report that thousands of Afghan citizens in the United States are waiting for the approval of a bill related to their permanent residence in order to eliminate the risk of their deportation, but Congress has not yet approved this bill.
Meanwhile, with the overthrow of the former government of Afghanistan, more than 79 thousand citizens of the country were transferred to the United States of America.
Mohammad Khosro Noori, 36, was a translator for the United States Embassy in Afghanistan. He lives in the state of California, his wife, and their daughter Adiba, six, and son Abd al-Rahman, four. Mohammad Khosro entered the United States with a conditional humanitarian visa, but the validity date of the visa is nearing the end and he is worried about the end of his two-year stay in the United States.
"Sometimes I feel like I'm dreaming," he says. How can I not worry about something bad when I wake up?”
Mohammad Khosrow adds: "If you ask my daughter, she will say that I am from America, not from Afghanistan. He will say that I am happy here [the United States], there is no shooting."
However, Noori cannot assure Adiba that they can stay in America forever.
Afghan citizens who were transferred to the United States after the overthrow of Ashraf Ghani's government were issued two-year conditional humanitarian visas, but when the visa expires, these asylum seekers can no longer legally live in the United States and are at risk of deportation.
The solution to this problem is the approval of a bill that opens the way to receive a green card, which means permanent residence in the United States, for Afghan citizens who have conditional humanitarian visas. If the permanent residence bill of these asylum seekers is approved, an office will be opened in the US State Department that will deal with their requests for visas and residence.
This is while the situation of many Afghan citizens who have sought refuge in America, in some camps in other countries, including forced camps in Kosovo and Uganda, as well as inside America, are facing very difficult and regrettable conditions, and never They did not imagine that America would have such a treatment and behavior with these citizens, most of whom were once colleagues of the American forces in Afghanistan.
