Apply for a USA SIV Visa If You Worked as a Police Officer During the US Presence in Afghanistan
If you served as a police officer in Afghanistan during the time when the United States was leading security and reconstruction efforts, you may be eligible for a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV). This program is a part of the United States’ commitment to protect Afghan nationals who supported American-led missions, especially in law enforcement and internal security.
The SIV offers a path to safety, legal immigration, and permanent residency in the United States — not just for you, but for your entire family. If you served your country alongside US-led forces, now the US stands ready to help you.
To qualify under the SIV program as a former police officer, you must:
✅ Have worked as a police officer (local, national, or special task force) in Afghanistan during 2001 to 2021, when the US was in charge of security and governance
✅ Have collaborated with or worked under:
US military command
NATO coalition forces
USAID programs
US Embassy or provincial reconstruction teams
✅ Have a recommendation letter from a US citizen, supervisor, or unit leader confirming your role and service
✅ Be facing ongoing threat due to your association with the United States
✅ Pass US background checks and a medical exam
