Afghanistan Peace CampaignSome Afghans with US immigration cases are complaining about their uncertain situation in third countries.
A case holder who requested anonymity, said: “We hope our cases will be re-evaluated. A fair and comprehensive decision should be made regarding all those included in this program.”
This comes as the transfer of Afghans with US immigration cases has been suspended for the past three months.
Another case holder who requested anonymity added: “Others like me who only have approval and whose flights had not yet been scheduled or were still in the process of completing their immigration procedures, are now not eligible and are living in total uncertainty.”
Yesterday, the Axios website reported that the US Department of Homeland Security had sent emails to more than 200 Afghan asylum seekers in Iowa, asking them to immediately leave the country.
Ehsan Khan Ahmadzai, a migrant rights activist, said: “The US government should review its policy on these cases. It is necessary that Afghans are not left in this uncertain situation.”
This comes as Donald Trump, on his first day as US President, suspended immigration through an executive order for four months.
