After many years of waiting, with hope for a dignified and secure life in the United States based on the privilege earned through our sincere cooperation with the United States Army in Afghanistan we now find ourselves in a most difficult and distressing situation. We are currently awaiting the scheduling of our SIV interview in Islamabad, Pakistan, while living under extremely harsh conditions, without legal residency, and under the constant and severe threat of forced deportation to Afghanistan by Pakistani authorities due to the expiration of our Pakistani visas.
The overwhelming economic hardships and the high cost of living have left us barely able to breathe. Persistent stress, anxiety, and serious psychological illnesses are gravely endangering our health. Alongside many other challenges, these circumstances have collectively stripped us of our ability to plan, decide, and move forward with any sense of stability or certainty.
Nevertheless, when I witness your humanitarian and sincere efforts, along with those of your colleagues, I become deeply hopeful and reassured, knowing that I/we are not alone and that honorable individuals such as yourself continue to support us. For your tireless, day-and-night dedication and efforts, I extend my deepest gratitude. We will remain forever indebted to your kindness, compassion, and unwavering support.
These hardships are not limited to my family and me alone; rather, thousands of Afghans facing similar circumstances in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and across various parts of the world are enduring the same painful reality.
The Afghan SIV program saves the lives of families who stood with the U.S. for years. We ask the Senate and all media: please protect this program and hear the voices of those still waiting in danger.
