I am pleased that progress is being made. However, I will be unsatisfied until everyone with appropriate US connection is out of reach of the Talibandits.

Emily, you’re doing such great work trying to help these folks. Unfortunately, I just don’t trust anything the state dept may be telling you. This administration and all the agencies reporting into it have lost all credibility. Prayers for everyone left behind.

Thank you Emily for keeping the story of those we tragically left behind alive. I look forward to the day when everything I read, share, and retweet are happy stories on Afghan SIV/refugee prosperity in the US. I know they are ready to be here, and I am ready to welcome my new neighbors with open arms. For my Afghan friends - you haven’t been forgotten by the American people. We still care about you, and we will keep demanding action from our State Department to follow through on the promises they have made to you.

US Government has forgotten us ( SIV )

My prayers are with those people still there. Thank you Emily for your work to free these people. I guess Americans need to think twice before getting on a plane to a foreign country...especially ones where there is such turmoil. I pray for their protection.

Dear Emily,

I want to let you know that there is a big issue for those who worked for the USAID funded projects in Afghanistan which were implemented by organizations like MSH, Tetra Tech or other USAID contarctors, their employees were already reffered to the USAID but which USAID is supposed to send those refferals to USRAP but none of their employees have received their Afghan Refferal (ARR) numbers yet, nor USAID has given a single update for this huge long delay.

Personally my family was reffered to USAID by one of its contractors in the August last year which more than fuve months habe already passed now, however, no update is guven to me regarding our case status and our ARR numbers has not also been sent to us

Please provide some information and follow this critical problem of P2 applicants.

Do you have a reference for your info coming from the DoS, someone or something I can go to for verification, or do they prefer to remain in your confidence? Regarding this "list" of priority evacuees: who maintains it? I know of more than 80 Afghans, all of whom have an SIV (primary SIV holders and their family members), but none of whom have been contacted by the DoS. If this list exists, those who maintain it aren't exactly putting in overtime trying to identify priority evacuees. It honestly seems more like political posturing... if they say they have a list, but no one is on it, they aren't exactly lying, are they?

American University of Afghanistan has been able to evacuate hundreds, but 370 students are left behind in Afghanistan due to lack of budget. A female AUAF student was shot dead in a Taliban checkpoint, and all other students are forced to take online classes and live in hideout, as their lives are in immediate danger.

Despite all of this, the State Department is very uncooperative in terms of providing charter flights to these students. I am an AUAF student myself.

Bard College - New York is willing to provide full scholarships to AUAF students; however, these students need immediate attention from the State Department for provision of Visas.

ARR no is something like case no or referral no that state department put for P2 cases

I hope you are answering me

Thank you dear Emily Miller for the answer you gave to my message 🙏🙏🙏

First of all, I would like to appreciate your cooperation in supporting and assisting vulnerable Afghans in the crisis situation in Afghanistan.

Thank you very much for your good cooperation and support, brave 🦸‍♀️and courageous lady. I am proud of women like you who have such a humanitarian feeling for humanity and serve in this way.

my question?

Dear Mrs. Emily Miller, I and all those who have sincerely supported and cooperated with the United States Government in Bagram have been under the threat of the Taliban for six months, and I have even been persecuted by the Taliban once, which caused my eye to be seriously injured. l also underwent eye surgery.

I was introduced to a company called Anham in the project Rabbit and I also sent an email to SIV, but I have not received any email yet.

My question is that all the people who directly collaborated with the US government in Bagram are still in Afghanistan.

Taliban are following us every day to kill us.

Why is the US Department of Defense not working with the State Department to remove people registered in the Department of Defense project Rabbit from Afghanistan?

Dear Emily Miller, I sincerely ask you to cooperate with me and take me out of Afghanistan with my family.

I am sending you all the information about myself and the company that is coordinated with the US Department of Defense Rabbit Project. I would like you to do something for me to get out of the serious situation and threat of the Taliban.

Thank you for your time 🙏🙏🙏
