USA DV-2024 Diversity Visa

The US Immigration Act of 1990 established the Diversity Visa (DV) program, which makes up to 55,000 immigrant visas available through random selection. The program allows those from Afghanistan to enter for a chance to apply for a U.S. immigrant visa. If your background is from Afghanistan, you are eligible to apply. You do not need to be a citizen of Afghanistan, you do not need any documentation, and it is totally free to apply online.

The Cowardly Attack on Kabul Gurdwara

SAHAS strongly condemns the terrorist attack on our main Gurudwara (House of Worship) in Kart-e-Parwan, Kabul, Afghanistan. In the attack, two people were martyred and seven more injured. The house of worship was under crossfire for over 3 hours and the attackers used multiple bombs, including a car bomb, to attack and seriously damage the premises.

We emphasize the need for the UN to put increased pressure on the Taliban government to investigate violent incidents, prosecute perpetrators, and provide protections for Afghan Hindus and Sikhs.
