Iraq Special Immigrant Visa

The Iraq Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program was created to help Iraqi nationals who worked with the U.S. government or its allies during the Iraq conflict. It provides eligible individuals and their immediate families the chance to obtain U.S. permanent residence (a Green Card). To qualify, applicants typically need to demonstrate they provided faithful service, face threats due to their work, and meet certain security and background checks. The program aims to support those who contributed to U.S. efforts in Iraq and are now seeking safety and stability in the United States.
