The Biden administration is set to announce the start of the evacuation of Afghan visa applicants, Reuters has reported, citing two anonymous sources.
The evacuation will be carried out as an operation dubbed "Allied Refuge", the news agency said.
Several media outlets earlier reported that some Afghan applicants for American visas had been experiencing trouble getting them prior to the US exit from Afghanistan.
Many of the applicants fear the Taliban could retaliate against them and their families for helping American and NATO forces.
