National Immigration Forum Applauds the Introduction of the Afghan
Adjustment ActÂ
WASHINGTON, D.C. -Â Today, Democrats and Republicans in both the House
and Senate announced the introduction of the Afghan Adjustment Act
.
The announcement, which came days ahead of the first anniversary of the
fall of Kabul and the subsequent U.S. military withdrawal from
Afghanistan, followed extensive bipartisan discussions over the future
of Afghan evacuees.Â
The Afghan Adjustment Act would give tens of thousands of Afghan allies
already in the U.S. a clear pathway to permanent residence. While many
Afghan evacuees have been able to temporarily reside in the U.S. via
humanitarian parole and/or Temporary Protected Status, most lack a
viable path to permanent legal status and face uncertain futures in the
U.S. Â Â
"The introduction of the Afghan Adjustment Act demonstrates that
significant progress is being made to provide Afghan allies, other
evacuees, and their families the permanency and stability they deserve,"
said Laurence Benenson, Vice President of Policy and Advocacy at the
National Immigration Forum. "Congress must move swiftly in passing the
Afghan Adjustment Act."Â
