U.S. Government Resumes SIV Flight Support Through IOM

By No One Left Behind

ARLINGTON, Va - After months of sustained advocacy, the U.S. government is resuming flight support for Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders through the International Organization for Migration (IOM) starting this week.

This represents meaningful progress toward fulfilling America’s commitment to those who served alongside U.S. forces, and we’re thankful the Administration has resumed this vital support.

No One Left Behind (NOLB) launched emergency flight operations in February after government-funded relocation and resettlement support was suspended. We've since supported more than 3,000 allies in reaching safety.

As IOM resumes processing, NOLB will begin reducing our flight program while still assisting high-priority cases and devoting our resources to safe housing and support for allies. 

Allies seeking IOM flight support should contact siv_ope@iom.int directly. IOM requires the following documentation:

• Completed Simplified Bio-Data form for each family member

• Passport bio-data page (photo page) for all family members listed on the case

• Valid SIV visa copy for all family members (if issued)

Our focus remains ensuring no ally is left waiting when they've already waited long enough.
