Guide to U.S.Private Groups for Rescue from Afghanistan

This guide is an effort to bring transparency and fairness to the system of getting on lists. (Link in thread)
The mission of the private rescue groups in the U.S. is inspiring and hopeful.

But it is also confusing and anxiety provoking for people in Afghanistan desperate to get on “lists.”

The private groups for Afghanistan are all different sizes and members.

Most are made up of veterans and retired special forces or faith-based and human rights charities.

Most individuals are volunteering to do the work.

The groups are all funded by donations.
Unfortunately, the reality is that there are too many people to rescue in Afghanistan and not enough assets and resources for civilians in private groups.
Until the U.S. government @StateDept makes a deal with the Taliban for commercial air travel and legal overland routes, the people rescued will be chosen by the private groups based on their own criteria and relationships.
My guide is for the biggest groups that have gotten people to safety. As I gather more organizations, I will keep adding to it.

“I am former staff member of the US Embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan. I'm left behind and now in Kabul, under serious security threats, and going through the hardest times of my life.”

“I used to work as Visa Assistant at the Consular Section. Due to my employment with the US Embassy, I am exposed to a lot of people as I had to interact with hundreds of visa applicants daily at the consular interviewing windows.”

A source tell me that people are going to the Serena Hotel in Kabul to consult with government agents about evacuation from Aghanistan.

A spokesman for the State Department said no U.S. government official is at the hotel.

My source (a SIV) was at the Serena Hotel yesterday He said that Qatar has reps there with “a list from the U.S. State Department.” The agent told him that they are only helping U.S. passport holders. He said they won’t help legal permanent residents (LPR) in Afghanistan. 2/5
Since he is a SIV and doesn’t fall in the categories that Pres. Biden and Secretary of State Blinken are prioritizing, he did not get any help. 3/5

The people who the U.S. abandoned in Afghanistan are trapped.

They are being hunted by an evil group of Taliban which wants revenge on Americans and our allies.

They have no way to escape.

American Snuck into Afghanistan to Save His Sisters

Asks State Department for a diplomatic solution to overland escape. New #EmilyPosts here: emilypostnews.com/p/american-snu…
Ali said he was shaking when he saw the Taliban at the border checkpoint of Uzbekistan and Afghanistan.

Just two days earlier, he was with his wife in their Connecticut home.
“In our society, it’s the brother's job to take care of the sister,” he told me by phone from Kabul, where he’s been since Aug. 27.

He’s on a desperate mission to try to get his sisters out of Afghanistan. #EmilyPosts
