The Biden administration is waiving some fees for Afghan evacuees as they seek work permits and otherwise try to gain residency in the U.S. after a rushed evacuation from Afghanistan.
The government will waive fees for both applications as well as the biometric testing required to proceed.
The move comes as some 70,000 Afghans have arrived in the U.S., many “paroled” into the country through a temporary waiving of immigration laws that allows those who would not otherwise qualify to enter the U.S. to formalize their status later.
