    Afghans who helped US war effort feel betrayed by Trump’s travel ban
    Wednesday’s travel ban does provide an exception for people with Afghan Special Immigrant Visas, or SIVs, which are reserved for those who worked for or on behalf of the US for at least a year during the country’s nearly two decades of war in Afghanistan.

    But scores of others who helped the US do not necessarily qualify for SIVs, advocates say. Some may not meet the one-year employment requirement, for example, or do not technically meet the definition of having worked directly for, or on behalf of, the US government. They and others like family members with any affiliation to the US remain at risk of reprisal.
