The Afghan Adjustment Act creates a comprehensive legal framework to address the immigration status of Afghan nationals who were evacuated to or otherwise entered the United States following the fall of Kabul in August 2021. The bill pursues three interconnected objectives: providing a pathway to lawful permanent residence for eligible Afghans already present in the United States, extending and improving the Special Immigrant Visa program for Afghan allies, and establishing more efficient processes for processing Afghan refugees and allies still outside the United States. The legislation responds directly to the large-scale humanitarian parole operation that brought tens of thousands of Afghans to the United States without a clear long-term immigration status, leaving them in legal limbo. By creating conditional permanent resident status, extending the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009, and establishing an Interagency Task Force on Afghan Ally Strategy, the bill seeks to honor commitments made to individuals who assisted U.S. military and diplomatic operations in Afghanistan over two decades of engagement.
