This bill increases the number of special immigrant visas available to qualified Afghan nationals who worked for the U.S. government or the NATO missions in Afghanistan.

Specifically, this bill makes available an additional 10,000 visas for principal aliens under this special visa program, to be available until all such visas have been issued. (The numerical limitations in this program apply only to the principal alien who applies for the visa, not to any accompanying spouse or child.)
