U.S. to begin housing Afghan refugees at Virginia military base POLITICO 13 hrs ago By Andrew Desiderio © Alex Wong/Getty Images Military personnel guard the entrance to Fort Lee Military Base August 2, 2001. Afghan nationals who aided the U.S. war effort and their families will be temporarily housed at a U.S. Army base about 140 miles south of Washington while they await final approval of their visas, the State Department confirmed Monday. The first round of applicants will be taken to Fort Lee, Va., according to a congressional official who viewed a National Security Council notification sent to Capitol Hill earlier Monday. State Department spokesperson Ned Price said the base will serve as “the initial relocation site for the pool of applicants who are closest to completing special immigrant processing.”
