Thousands airlifted out of Afghanistan are stuck in an immigration backlog that leaves them without a permanent way to remain in the U.S. The withdrawal succeeded in evacuating roughly 80,000 people who worked with the US military in Afghanistan , the largest such operation since Vietnam .

Many Afghans are still in limbo because of a crushing timeline for securing a visa.

More than 135,000 who may be eligible face what could be a decades -long backlog of visas for allies.

About 14,600 Afghans have arrived in the U.S. and applied for temporary protected status, which bars deportation.

Getting an SIV is a complex process that involves securing proof of employment from supervisors.

Advocates for Afghan refugees and allies say the withdrawal of the U.S. forces has left them frustrated.

They say the next administration will not take action to help those in asylum limbo.

The future of the Afghan refugees is in the hands of the next presidential administration.
