Stay away from Kabul’s airport! It’s not safe. Email any documentation of your work to an American friend or save it to the cloud. There are phone apps for scanning (e.g. GeniusScan). Do not have hard copies on your person.
AMERICAN CITIZENS: If you or someone you know is an American in Afghanistan that wants to get out, have them fill out this form. They can also email RepKimEvac@mail.house.gov or call his office at (202) 225-4765 if we can help follow up and push.
AFGHAN CIVILIANS: US citizens can fill out the following form for Afghan human rights defenders, women/gender rights advocates, journalists, and civil society leaders. Evacuate Our Allies sends the list to relevant U.S. government officials daily at 6 PM EST.
INTERPRETERS: If you/someone you know has an approved petition for a Special Immigrant Visa, email NVCSIV@state.gov or call 1-603-334-0828. For those with/without approved petitions, email info@nooneleft.org and Rep Andy Kim so he can try and push for an urgent evac: RepKimEvac@mail.house.gov.
Other helpful SIV resources for interpreters and their supports, including templates:
P-2: If you/someone you know worked as a contractor with NGO, media, etc. Rep Andy Kim is pushing for P-2 holders to have safe passage immediately. If you have questions, or are eligible and need assistance contact RepKimEvac@mail.house.gov.
