What is Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) & Who Qualifies?
Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) are immigrant visa categories available to certain individuals who meet specific statutory requirements. Some SIV programs apply to qualifying Afghan or Iraqi nationals who worked for or on behalf of the U.S. government, while a separate category applies to certain Afghan and Iraqi translators or interpreters.
Depending on the applicable program, eligibility may involve:
- Qualifying Employment – Certain employment by or on behalf of the U.S. government or other qualifying organizations.
- Translators & Interpreters – Certain Afghan and Iraqi nationals who provided qualifying translation or interpretation services.
- Required Employment Documentation – Employment verification, recommendation letters, or other evidence required by the applicable SIV program.
- Qualifying Family Members – A principal SIV applicant's spouse and certain unmarried children under age 21 may be eligible for derivative immigration benefits.
SIV eligibility and procedures vary by category, and some programs have statutory deadlines or additional requirements. The Afghan SIV program for individuals employed by or on behalf of the U.S. government had a December 31, 2025 deadline for new Chief of Mission applications.
