U.S. immigration authorities have said that requests from Afghans who wish to resettle in the United States will be put on hold. This comes after a deadly shooting occurred, reportedly by an Afghan man who violated the conditions of his visa. This holds the potential to cut short the relocation and immigration opportunities for those Afghan citizens who aided the United States for 20 years in the Afghan War.
A participant in a serious breach of public order
The visa overstay report comes from the November 26 Washington D.C. Capitol building incident, where authorities arrested an Afghan, who was reported to the New York Post as a participant in a serious breach of public order.
The man was in the United States legally, but violated the conditions of his stay. The shooting requires a full settlement review, as well as long-standing diluted measures relative to Afghan nationals to be activated.
This situation contributes more strongly to revision requests to the American President regarding plans for resettling Afghan citizens. This situation contributes more strongly to revision requests to the American President regarding plans for resettling Afghan citizens. These plans, of course, have now accelerated after the United States’ departure from Afghanistan in order for American citizens and United States citizens to relocate to countries of the United States constituency and for American Embassy representatives and sponsors to be positioned in Afghanistan and for United States citizens.

While a spokesperson from DHS confirmed to India Today that the cessation of processing Afghan applications was temporary, they provided no information as to when processing of applications will resume.
Nisbet confirmed the temporary suspension of processing applications by stating,
“The safety and security of the American people is our top priority. We are doing a full system review of our Afghan screening and vetting to make sure it is as good as it can get.”
The temporary suspension of processing Afghan applications will leave many Afghans, who as a result of the closing of the U.S. military base in Afghanistan, are awaiting entry to the U.S. While most of these Afghans provided military support as interpreters, contractors, and support role personnel, many American advocates state that the temporarily closure of Afghan processing will leave Afghans vulnerable to collateral damage, particularly by rogue state actors.
Critics also state that Afghans located in third-party states will not be able to be legally relocated
More than 90,000 Afghans have already been resettled; however, the U.S. has pledged to resettle several thousand Afghans. The U.S. is facing a humanitarian crisis to resettle a further 100,000 Afghans who remain in Afghanistan as a result of the U.S. military’s withdrawal and the Taliban’s rule over Afghanistan as a state. The resettlement of Afghans is largely focused on dependents and relatives of service personnel.
Refugee resettlement processing has no international accountability due to the lack of immigration support in the U.S., and the U.S. is closing. Refugee resettlement has no international accountability.
The Afghan refugees supporting U.S. troops have been waiting the longest, and their situation has been getting even worse as time goes on. They are in a centralized cycle of extreme poverty and are now in Foreign countries like Pakistan and Qatar. The situation is growing worse for these countries as humanitarian history warning is about to be reached with all of the Afghan Supporters and U.S. troops supporters.
