Or i dont know what. but this was right before the trump administration. so it very well might have been the muslim ban or their illegal stalling of the s.i.v. process that held him back backup and now come to 2021 and i had to help him apply completely all over again from scratch. and we are waiting on that. and all of a sudden the taliban took over. and now he had to abandon his home. he is now in hiding. he had to split up his family to try and lessen the chance that they would all be killed....

And that left other countries, and i remember when the italians , the french had to make quick decisions to get their people out in they were shuttin their embassies over the summer. there is still no good explanation for why the siv process was going so slow we. that was a state department run effort that we have talked to and documented the issue for four years, and there has been slow rolling in ridiculous amounts of paperwork in 14 step only in the last 24 hours the reason you are seen 6,000...

The afghans that we are evacuating right now are a tiny sliver of that. we are hearing from afghans on the ground right now who have been trapped for years and bureaucracy, a 15-step process for an interpreter visa. even within the last few days, interpreters were getting appointments at the u.s. embassy in kabul for september. even as they were evacuating. it is inexplicable how long the siv process has taken. the new puppy to visa has been opened up. and i cant make sense of it. it is so opaqu...
