Help Afghan Asylees with Green Card Applications
VECINA
More than 80,000 Afghans have evacuated to the US since 2021, and many have been granted asylum. The next important step on the path to permanent safety in the U.S. is applying for adjustment of status (green card), the process of becoming a lawful permanent resident. Attorneys are needed to assist Afghans granted asylum in filing these applications. Mentorship and training are provided, and lawyers may have any bar license.

We hope you and your loved ones are
healthy and safe.
Best,
The We The Action Team
