WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The United States will receive additional refugees from Afghanistan in the coming months, the State Department's top migration official, Julieta Valls Noyes, said on Wednesday.
On Monday, CBS News reported that the US government is rejecting 90% of Afghans seeking humanitarian refuge in the United States.
"The United States will continue to welcome additional qualifying Afghans in the coming months," Noyes, the US Assistant Secretary for Population, Refugees, and Migration, told reporters.
She did not provide specific details but mentioned that the US has provided resettlement assistance for 74,000 Afghans since last July.
According to the CBS report, the US has received 46,000 applications from Afghans hoping to enter the country via the parole process since last July, but only a small percentage have been actually processed. And of those 4,543 requests that have been fully adjudicated, only 297 have been approved, the report said.
The Taliban came to power in Afghanistan in the fall of 2021 following the US military pullout from the country and established an interim government.
