"Individuals seeking admission to the U.S. or lawful permanent residence must support themselves financially or rely on their families, sponsors, and private organizations, and not become a burden on U.S. taxpayers." - USCIS Spokesperson Matthew Tragesser dailycaller.com/2025/09/05/usc…

Our Co-Founder Mustafa Babak spoke with BBC News (UK) about the D.C. violent shooting of two National Guardsmen and it's impact on Afghan allies across the U.S.

I spoke to BBC after the D.C. incident to make one thing clear: Afghan Americans are part of this country. Scapegoating us helps no one—not the victims, not their families, not this nation. One man’s actions are not ours. Leaders must unite, not divide or stigmatize.

In a world that remembers Afghans when convenient and forgets when it matters most, AAF shows up for our voices, dignity, and rights. This #GivingTuesday, your gift is matched. Help us keep showing up. 🔗 bit.ly/supportaaf #SupportAAF #ThisIsHome

AAF Board Member Jawaid Kotwal spoke with WUSA9 about the fear Afghan families are feeling after last week’s tragedy and how quickly one person’s actions have led to unfair scrutiny and rushed policy changes putting the lives of our allies at great risk.

I came to America as an interpreter. He came as a trained killer. We got the same resettlement plan. How the US government failed Afghan allies and its own citizens. My op-ed for the Washington Examiner. Please comment, like and share to get the word out.
