- Afghans who work/worked for a U.S. government-funded program or project in Afghanistan supported through a U.S. government grant or cooperative agreement;
- Afghans who are/were employed in Afghanistan by a U.S.-based media organization or nongovernmental organization. ?Note: For this category, Afghan employees may be referred by an American senior employee of these organizations.

If the individual does not meet any criteria above, but is known to Embassy Kabul, he or she may be eligible for referral to the P1 program. Work with your agency’s representative at Embassy Kabul to determine if the individual is eligible for referral to the P1 program.
