US State Department proposed refugees to independently get out of Afghanistan to get to the United States. Information about this reports TASS with reference to the words of the representative of the department.
According to the officials of high rank, the citizens of Afghanistan, who want to get political asylum, is necessary outside the country to initiate the process of submitting an application for entry. The Department noted that they do not plan to move refugees from the country.
The civil servant also stressed that the State Department will continue to look for ways to protect for those who worked with the American administration in Afghanistan. “On the applicants themselves lies responsibility for departure from Afghanistan,” added in the Department.
Earlier, Washington has expanded the Afghan refugee reception program. Now the right to receive asylum can take advantage of not only the faces who have long cooperated directly with American military. The current and former employees of news and non-profit organizations founded by the United States or funding receiving them may also claim protection.
Also, the US Congress adopted a law on the emergency, according to which the number of visas will be increased for the allies who worked with the American army in Afghanistan. As Congressmen declare, the bill will simplify some requirements for obtaining a visa.
