New AI tool helps Afghan allies at risk find visa pathways
The veteran-led organization AfghanEvac has launched a new AI-powered tool called the Visa Pathways and Relocation Information Center (V-PRIC) to help Afghan allies navigate the complex U.S. visa and asylum process. The tool, which saw over 30,000 visits in its first week, uses a database of 124 visa classifications to match applicants with the most promising pathways based on their location, eligibility, and danger level. Despite the tool's launch, AfghanEvac founder Shawn VanDiver notes that few pathways are currently available due to the Trump administration's indefinite suspension on Afghan immigration processing and termination of temporary protected status. Approximately 1,100 Afghan allies remain stuck at Camp As Sayliyah in Qatar, with the administration proposing they return to Afghanistan or relocate to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The tool is designed to help applicants avoid dead ends and stay informed about rapidly changing policies, though it does not replace legal advice.
