HR 4995 United States House · 119th Congress

Enduring Welcome Act of 2025

This bill permanently establishes the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE) within the State Department, expanding their role to prioritize family reunification for U.S. military personnel and veterans with Afghan allies. It mandates the Coordinator to collect detailed data on Afghan applicants (including special immigrant visa seekers, refugees, and parolees), vetting timelines, and pending family reunification cases into a centralized database. The Coordinator must report this data to Congress every 90 days to ensure transparency and inform policy decisions. The law directly affects Afghan allies and their families seeking U.S. relocation, particularly those connected to U.S. military service.
