Special Immigrant Visa

A Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) is a type of visa that allows eligible individuals from certain countries, usually those who worked with the U.S. government or military, to immigrate to the United States. The program is designed primarily for interpreters, translators, and other employees who faced threats because of their association with the U.S. The SIV provides a pathway for these individuals and their families to find safety and start new lives in the U.S., acknowledging their contributions and sacrifices while serving alongside American forces.
