Afghan and Iraqi Translators Program

The Afghan and Iraqi Translators Program was a U.S. initiative aimed at protecting local translators and interpreters who worked with American forces during military operations in Afghanistan and Iraq. These individuals often faced significant risks due to their collaboration with U.S. troops. The program offered a pathway to U.S. visas for these translators and their families, helping them resettle safely in the United States. This initiative recognized their sacrifices and aimed to ensure their safety amidst the dangers they faced in their home countries.
