Voice of America Interview about TPS for Afghan Nationals (April 2022)

Afghan nationals who were evacuated and paroled into the United States to escape the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan are now eligible for TPS. Last month, the US Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that they would grant temporary protected status, or TPS, to those Afghan nationals who are already residing in the United States as of March 15th, 2022. Immigration attorney and refugee advocate Spojmie Nasiri appeared on Voice of America Pashto to talk more about the TPS program for Afghan nationals residing in the United States, and how the designation protects parolees from deportation while also providing opportunities for work authorization.

Voice of America Interview About Humanitarian Parole (December 2021)

Following the resurgence of Taliban control in Afghanistan, many Afghan refugees evacuated to the United States. There have been many developments from the United State Department of Homeland Security, Department of State, and United States Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS). Immigration attorney Spojmie Nasiri spoke with Voice of America in Pashto about developments for Afghan refugees who are seeking humanitarian parole. She discussed challenges that refugees may face when seeking visas or temporary status on humanitarian grounds.

Immigration Attorneys Working Hard to Help Afghans Evacuate (August 2021)

In the aftermath of the United States drawdown of military troops in Afghanistan, the Taliban moved extremely quickly to retake the country. In just a matter of weeks, provincial cities across the country were surrendered to Taliban, who met weak resistance if any at all. The Taliban successfully sacked the capital city Kabul much faster than experts or the intelligence community expected, triggering mass panic and hysteria for thousands trying to escape the country, fearing their lives would be in jeopardy under the rule of the murderous Taliban. KTVU's Rob Roth spoke with Spojmie Nasiri, a Pleasanton immigration attorney born in Afghanistan, on helping those in danger as they try to flee Afghanistan.

ICE Agents Raid Bay Area 7-Eleven Stores (January 2018)

In early January of 2018, the Federal Immigration & Customs Enforcement office targeted six 7-Eleven stores in the Bay Area to investigate the citizenship of workers and employees of the franchise. Immigration lawyer Spojmie Nasiri was interviewed by KTVU to talk about these ICE raids and their impact on immigrant communities.

During Ramadan, Many Muslim-Americans Fear Anti-Islamic Violence (June 2017)

Reaction to Trump’s Speech to Muslim Nations (May 2017)

In 2017, East Bay immigration attorney Spojmie Nasiri served as the president of the San Francisco Bay Area chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR). After President Donald Trump addressed Muslim leaders, she was interviewed by NBC Bay Area about the tone of the speech, and how, despite the more conciliatory tone, the speech did not undo the rhetoric and policies of the administration.

Muslim Community Reacts to Trump’s Muslim Ban (January 2017)
