The survey of 1,605 U.S. adults, which was conducted from Aug. 30 to Sept. 1, found that overall support for resettling Afghan refugees in the United States has declined over the previous two weeks from 49 percent to 44 percent.
Afghan refugees evacuated from Kabul, arrive in Washington Dulles International Airport in Washington, DC, United States on August 27, 2021.
But all refugees, regardless of where they’re from, must pass extensive background checks before they can be approved for resettlement in the United States. And those who are eligible for Special Immigrant Visas, or SIVs, are subject to even more intense scrutiny. The process of getting approved for an SIV can take years and U.S. officials have said that the Afghanistan evacuation operation prioritized those in the SIV program who’d either already been approved for a visa or had gone through at least the initial stages of the vetting process, allowingto complete that process from a military base in the U.S. rather than in Afghanistan.
