Afghan Adjustment Act (AAA)

In mid-July 2023, a bipartisan group of legislators in both the House and Senate of the 118th Congress reintroduced the Afghan Adjustment Act (AAA), which would provide a pathway to permanent legal status for Afghans resettled in the United States, expand eligibility for the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program, and create an inter-agency task force to better facilitate the relocation of at-risk Afghans abroad. 


The Evacuate Our Allies Coalition thanks the following Members of Congress for leading the effort to reintroduce the Afghan Adjustment Act (AAA) in both the House and the Senate: Representatives Mariannette Miller-Meeks (R-IA-1), Earl Blumenauer (D-OR-3), Juan Ciscomani (R-AZ-6), Jason Crow (D-CO-6), Brian K.
