Afghan Utahns Community Support
We must continue the efforts to help Afghan Americans, American allies and families, as well as those most vulnerable populations in Afghanistan to leave Afghanistan.
Get Support
Submit casework on behalf of someone in Afghanistan:
U.S. ending operations in Afghanistan may open a new filing window for some people who may have not qualified for asylum before or who did not file within the original limited time. Make a request to either the senators joint casework team, or with their respective member of the House of Representatives, for assistance.
Legal Assistance:
We have heard from concerned community members who have question about the evolving situation in Afghanistan and they can assist their loved ones. UMCL is committed to provide support and connecting the community to our elected officials and as well as other resources that may not be covered.

The U.S. State Department is still accepting applications such as SIV and P2. Additionally there are many updates and public information being released from the U.S. Embassy in Afghanistan:
Share Your Story:
Your voice matters to us! Please share what you might be experiencing and the questions and concerns that you have. We are working to elevate the voices of Afghan Americans in Utah regarding the evacuation process of their loved ones, families and friends. Your voice can make all the difference.
Humanitarian Parole Applications
Humanitarian Parole allows folks to enter the US, with opportunity to then apply to regularize their status through family adjustment, asylum, or other legal pathways. It is extremely expensive, costing $575 per person per family, even for infants.
Afghans need your help! You Can volunteer to Sponsor an Afghan.
Utah Muslim Civic League has helped over 50 Afghans fill out applications for their at-risk families in Afghanistan to come to the U.S. These applications are not done! We have a huge need for sponsors to complete these applications. Help us finish these applications for at-risk Afghans.
We are raising funds to be able to cover this tremendous cost for families.
Please consider donating to help reunite families. Donate to provide urgent legal support to at risk Afghan families.
Sign our petition to waive the $575 humanitarian parole application fee.
We demand that the Biden administration waive this fee. We need your help to advocate for these vulnerable Afghans, many of whom cannot afford this substantial fee.
