The S family, a father, mother, young daughter and son, are the current clients of the ISA. The mother was a family court judge and the father ran a food product manufacturing and distribution operation in Afghanistan. Once the Taliban regained power their lives changed and they felt they had to leave the country. The family crossed from Afghanistan into Pakistan in 2022 and spent 18 months there before being approved to enter the US as refugees.
Resilient, resourceful and ambitious is how to describe our client from Afghanistan. She is in her 20’s and was working in the medical field of maternity when the Taliban took over in 2021. They entered the hospital and told her to go home. She initially defied them but before long, the hospital administration said she could no longer work due to her safety as well as the safety of the hospital staff and patients.
