Sample Request Statement

I would like my brother-in-law Gul Marjan to collect the passports with the visas issued instead of my wife, Gul Chaman Nazawaly. My wife is unable to travel by herself from Helmand province to Kabul to collect the passports. I have attached copy of Gul Marjan’s Afghan passport that he will present at the embassy’s entrance.

The person’s information is:

Full Name: Gul Marjan Stanikzai

Afghan Passport Number: 123456789

Telephone Number: +93 798 1234567


Note: You need to wait for US Embassy Kabul’s email confirmation and approval to have someone else collect your passport / civil documents.
