(Washington, DC) – Yesterday, the government and plaintiffs submitted a proposed joint plan to address the delayed applications of an estimated 10,000 Afghans and Iraqis who supported U.S. missions in their home countries and came under threat as a result. This was in response to a court order in 2019 that ruled the delay in processing Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applications to be unlawful.
