Hundreds of Afghan refugees facing extreme delays in the approval of U.S. visas have protested in Pakistan’s capital.

The U.S. government’s Priority 1 and Priority 2 refugee programs, known as P1 and P2, were meant to fast track visas for at-risk Afghans including journalists and rights activists after the Taliban takeover in their homeland. Those eligible must have worked for the U.S. government, a U.S.-based media organization or nongovernmental organization in Afghanistan, and must be referred by the U.S.-based employer.

Protesters said that applicants had yet to receive the preliminary interview necessary to begin the visa application process. Hesamuddin, an Afghan who is waiting on the processing of his P2 case, said authorities should evacuate Afghan P1 and P2 applicants to a country where the necessary resettlement support centers are open and able to conduct interviews. “They must evacuate us to another country where RSCs are functioning and can process there,” he said.

lol, you think their facing delays cause the Immigration Dept. is overwhelmed with the Southern Border Crisis? Wait until Joe starts letting all those White Ukrainians cut to the front of the line!! Holy Moly will the shit hit the fan then!

They used you and left you for death. You are not welcomed in the land of the free. They just wanted to drain your country out of its resources. Mission accomplished. Get the hint.

Why do it the hard way - just walk across the border and get everything for free

The ONLY thing that's 'sort of' functional in the US is the war machine. And I say sort of because our pure private scam MIC is incapable of making stuff anywhere close to cheap enough to win a war - and ironically that same MIC is gonna lobby US into WWIII (and get wrekt)

Then it was just money laundering not a war on terror they were all CIA trained anyway these 'terrorists'

We have an open door at our boarders, c,mon in! All you need to do is vote for the democrat ticket.

We’re full on broke foreigners right now, get some money and try again

Cancelled! No vacancy here.

I wonder how many of these refugees are sympathetic to the Taliban..Another so-called terrorist attack coming for America...

Biden has given first priority to open borders illegals, criminals and rapists

Go back like the Ukrainians and fight for your country, please.
