Nadim is 19 years old and was evacuated to the United States (with his younger brother who has a separate case) on September 10, 2021. They both fear persecution by the Taliban because their father worked for the Americans and was in the process of applying for a Special Immigrant Visa; their older brother was in the Afghan National Army; and their uncle, who also helped the Americans, was killed by the Taliban. ILS (Rebecca) filed his asylum application in mid-March, he traveled to Chicago for interview in early May, and on October 24, he was granted asylum.

Thank you, Immigration Legal Services, for doing this critical work. Thank you.
