Afghan SIV Termination and Security Review Act of 2025

This bill would end the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program, which gives visas to certain Afghans who helped U.S. missions in Afghanistan. No new applications could be filed, and all applications still pending when the law takes effect would be closed without being processed. The Department of Homeland Security would have 18 months to re-screen every person already admitted under the program, including fingerprint and database checks, document and service verification, and interviews in some cases. People found ineligible, removable, involved in fraud, or a security concern would have their status rescinded and face removal proceedings, and leftover program funds would be moved to a veterans' housing support program.
