Special Immigrant Visa Program

The Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) Program allows certain individuals, such as Afghan or Iraqi nationals who worked with U.S. government efforts, to apply for permanent residency in the United States. It recognizes their service and provides a pathway to live, work, and eventually become U.S. citizens. The program requires applicants to demonstrate their connection to U.S. operations, meet eligibility criteria, and undergo security and background checks. It aims to assist those who have faced risks due to their support for U.S. missions abroad, offering them safety and stability in the U.S.
