Afghan SIV Termination and Security Review Act of 2025
HR 6443 terminates the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program, ending all new applications and closing pending cases as of its enactment date. It requires the Department of Homeland Security to conduct mandatory security reassessments for all current SIV beneficiaries within 18 months, including biometric checks, updated database scans, and document verification. Beneficiaries failing the review - due to ineligibility, fraud, or security concerns - face rescinded status and potential removal proceedings. Any remaining funds from the SIV program are redirected to the VA's Supportive Services for Veteran Families program.
