September 17, 2021
Last Thursday, the State Department sent out emails informing Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants stating that the Department is “currently unable to provide consular services for immigrant visas, including Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs), in Afghanistan.” The State Department says that it is “developing processing alternatives” so that it may continue to issue visas for the people of Afghanistan. The specified date is unknown for the State Department to provide consular service for immigrant visas and SIVs.
