No One Left Behind is the leading national organization dedicated to ensuring that America keeps its promise to U.S. interpreters and employees in Iraq and Afghanistan through the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) programs.
No One Left Behind has a new goal!
We will evacuate 1,000+ people out of harm’s way in 2023
Who We Are
Founded in 2014, No One Left Behind is the oldest charitable organization focused specifically on supporting former interpreters and U.S. government employees eligible for the Iraqi and Afghan SIV programs. We advocate for the Special Immigrant Visa programs, help evacuate deserving SIV applicants to safety, and provide resettlement assistance to help them start new lives as Americans.
We have advocated for numerous legislative and policy improvements to reduce the average 3.5-year visa processing wait time, during which applicants face risks of death at the hands of those they once helped the United States fight. We played a significant role supporting the enactment of the Emergency Security Supplemental Appropriations Act (Public Law 117-31), which improved the Afghan SIV program and was signed into law on July 30, 2021.
Since 2021 , we have evacuated over 2,500 Afghans to safety and provided over $2.9 Million in resettlement assistance to over 1,300 SIV families newly resettling in the United States. But for every family we touch, we have four more waiting. We need your help today.
Our Values

Patriotism
No One Left Behind was founded to support those who risked all for the United States, our servicemembers, and diplomats. By working for the U.S. government, local interpreters and employees in Iraq and Afghanistan risked their lives for Americans. We work to ensure the United States honors its commitments to those who helped us in our time of need.
Commitment
We are committed to ensuring that our allies and their families are evacuated to safety, and that when they arrive in the United States, they have adequate resources to contribute meaningfully to society as new Americans.
Service
We exist to serve those who served alongside
Americans. We are steadfast in our mission, and we will not forget those who risked all for us. We will serve them until no one has been left behind.
OVER 2,500 SIV FAMILIES SERVED IN THE U.S.
We need your help to continue evacuating the tens of thousands of U.S. government employees and interpreters who remain in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as to provide them critical assistance for housing, transportation, food and household goods.
