About a decade ago, the U.S. government set up the special immigrant visa, or SIV, program to help resettle Afghans at risk due to their work for the U.S. military.
At the time of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan in August, there were about 81,000 Afghans who had applied for the visas, the report said.
Although tens of thousands of Afghans were evacuated in the final chaotic days of the U.S. presence, only 3,000 were applicants in the special immigrant visa program, the report said.
