In the aftermath of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, the plight of Afghan allies, particularly those with pending Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applications, has become increasingly dire. Kauser News, through its platform, is rallying the Afghan SIV case holders globally to voice their concerns and appeal to the United States Congress to expedite the processing of visas. With more than 70,000 SIV cases pending and approximately 8,000 visas left, the urgency of the situation cannot be overstated.
The Afghan SIV crisis has reached a critical juncture as tens of thousands of applicants, facing economic and security threats, anxiously await visa approvals. Since 2021, over 87% of Afghan SIV case holders find themselves in neighboring countries such as Pakistan, Iran, Tajikistan, Turkey, Uzbekistan, and Russia, living in precarious conditions. Kauser News has opened its platform to give a voice to these individuals, urging them to contact the United States Congress to share their concerns.
Through public awareness and real-time intelligence sharing, Kauser TV and Kauser News helped to safely guide the more than 2.3 million people who escaped Afghanistan to save their lives from Taliban violence in 2021 via Kauser TV Media outlet.
In 2024, Kauser News has shifted its focus to aiding Afghan SIV case holders, helping them connect with Congress to highlight their urgent situations.
Kauser News encourages Afghan SIV case holders, Afghan Americans, and concerned citizens to engage with Congress through various channels. Email, phone calls, and reaching out to local representatives are effective ways to make their voices heard. Families residing in the United States can also advocate on behalf of their loved ones, sharing their concerns about the security situation faced by those awaiting visa approvals.
With more than 70,000 SIV cases pending, the time to act is now. Kauser News emphasizes the urgent need for Congress to increase the number of SIV visas available for Afghan allies and expedite the approval process. The security and well-being of Afghan SIV case holders are at stake, and immediate action is essential to prevent further harm.
Kauser News, through its platform, is standing alongside Afghan SIV case holders, amplifying their voices, and urging them to contact the United States Congress. The collaboration between media outlets and concerned citizens can make a significant impact in expediting the visa approval process and ensuring the safety of those left behind. It is time for the international community to come together and address the Afghan SIV crisis with urgency and compassion.
