According to this article on Forbes, by Jill Goldenziel

“Yesterday, in his first speech since American troops left Afghanistan, President Biden hailed the eleventh-hour evacuation of 120,000 Americans and Afghans as a resounding success. Not once did he mention the allies that we left behind. Tens of thousands of Afghans who supported American efforts in Afghanistan over the last 20 years are stranded in Afghanistan, fearing for their lives. These include Afghan translators for the U.S. military who have been approved or applied for Special Immigrant Visas, Afghans approved or have applied for P-1 and P-2 designation granting them access to the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, and others to whom the U.S. made an explicit promise of evacuation. President Biden has left these Afghans with no clear path to safety. Yet one already exists: humanitarian parole.”
