Kabul, Afghanistan (CNN) Fawad is one of hundreds and probably thousands of Afghans whose applications for visas to enter the US are somewhere in limbo. Now, unable to reach Kabul airport, he and his family are living in fear -- too scared to venture outside. Fawad has worked for American companies since 2003 and applied for a Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) in April 2020. Fawad sent photographs of his family to CNN. Farhad said he is in hiding with his wife and two young children, with no prospect to flee the country.
