The Biden administration will continue to allow tens of thousands of Afghans who fled Taliban control more than two years ago to stay and work in the U.S., as congressional efforts have stalled that were meant to permanently resolve their immigration status, according to two people familiar with the plan.

As soon as this summer, eligible refugees will be able to renew temporary work permits and protections from deportation for another two years, according to two administration officials, who spoke to The Associated Press condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to discuss plans that haven’t yet been released. The protections were initially given in 2021, and renewed last year.

The effort is a temporary fix for more than 76,000 Afghans who arrived in the U.S. following the military's chaotic and deadly withdrawal of U.S. troops, some of the darkest moments of Biden's presidency. Many of those who arrived in the country have worked with U.S. officials, some for many years, as translators, interpreters and other partners.

Foreign ministers of China and Afghanistan are set to visit Islamabad later this week on a crucial visit to discuss the current situation in the neighbouring country and importantly how to deal with terrorist sanctuaries.

This is only the second visit of Amir Khan Muttaqi to Pakistan since Taliban returned to power in August 2021. Also it will be the first visit of new Chinese foreign minister.

There has been a surge in terrorist attacks in Pakistan since the Taliban takeover. This was contrary to expectations of Pakistan that Taliban returning to power would address Pakistan’s concerns. Instead the TTP and its affiliates feel emboldened with the Afghan Taliban taking over Kabul.

The Afghan Taliban, who earlier tried to broker a peace between Pakistan and the TTP, are facing a renewed pressure from Islamabad as it is no longer seeking peace talks with the terrorist group. Pakistan is hoping that Muttaqi would come with a concrete plan to eradicate the terror threat.
