EVACUATION FLIGHTS

Prior to 2025, once an ally received their Special Immigrant Visa, they would be manifested on an IOM flight and put into the refugee resettlement pipeline.

Following the implementation of the January 20, 2025 Executive Order on Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid, flights for SIV holders were abruptly halted, leaving allies in limbo despite their legal authorization to enter the United States.

Recognizing the urgency of the situation, No One Left Behind swiftly mobilized resources to ensure that every Afghan and Iraqi SIV holder awaiting transport was provided a flight.

Since March, through our flights program, NOLB has supported 52% of all SIV issuances.

IF YOU WANT TO HELP SUPPORT OUR ALLIES

Every dollar makes a difference. The reality is the SIV program continues to run while US-funded flights continue to be suspended.

NOLB continues to book flights at no cost to our allies. Your donation helps us continue to book these life-changing flights for our allies.

RESETTLEMENT

Prior to 2025, SIV holders received 90 days of Reception & Placement services from a resettlement agency after arriving in the U.S. These critical services help newcomers establish their social security number and Green Card, find housing and jobs, and enroll their children in school, among many other types of support.

Funding for resettlement agencies was impacted by the implementation of the January 20, 2025 Executive Order on Reevaluating and Realigning United States Foreign Aid.

No One Left Behind created two pop up resettlement hubs, run by our NOLB Ambassadors, and mobilized a network of community partners to support our newly arrived allies. Federal funding for Reception and Placement has since been partially restored, but we continue to collaborate with partners nationwide to ensure no allies arrive stateside with a plan for support.

States where allies are connected with sponsorship

No One Left Behind has flown our allies to 40 states across the United States. Due to a reduction in federally-funded R&P services, everyday citizens have stepped up to welcome our allies to their new homes.

NOLB ambassadors and community partners have provided crucial services - everything from picking up newly arrived allies at the airport, finding housing, signing kids up for school, going grocery shopping, providing financial support, and the list goes on.
