About Us

Mission Statement

Task Force Argo is dedicated to assisting Afghan allies in their pursuit of lawful pathways to U.S. citizenship and their escape from the oppressive Taliban regime in Afghanistan. Simultaneously, we are committed to supporting and empowering rescued Afghan ally families as they assimilate and thrive in the United States. Our organization’s strength lies in the unwavering dedication of those who serve as the cornerstone of our mission. They are the primary interlocutors, bridging the gap between Afghan allies in need and the resources necessary for their successful transition.

How we do it

 

Vetting process

 

Each person in need of evacuation is assigned a volunteer handler. Each volunteer communicates daily, screens immigration application documentation and passports, verifies the American Sponsor, coordinates safety and survival in Afghanistan and presents the principal applicant and family members to the State Department for manifest eligibility.

Our volunteers have been dedicated to this work since August 2021. They are the best and will guide you through the process with respect, fairness, and empathy.

 

Status assignments

 

Eligible manifesting categories:

  • American Citizen

  • Legal Permanent Resident (Green Card holder)

  • American Citizen spouse, unmarried children under 21 years of age, parents, step-parents

  • Legal Permanent Resident spouse, unmarried children under 21 years of age

  • Special Immigration Visa (SIV) and immediate family (i.e., spouse and children listed on SIV application)

  • P1

Notes:

*State Department is manifesting Principal Applicants with a Visa that is interview ready or higher. Interview ready status means all fees are paid, DS-260 form has been submitted and reviewed by State Department, and all civil documents have been received.
