What obstacles arise about bringing Sohrab to the United States?

• A. They must prove Sohrab is Amir's half-nephew and provide death certificates for Hassan and Farzana
• B. Most Afghan families lack birth certificates, which complicates proof
• C. He may have to wait in an orphanage
• D. All of the above

Answer: (D)

The main idea here is that moving Sohrab to the United States involves real-world legal and logistical hurdles, not just emotional desire. To bring him, there has to be a demonstrable family connection and solid documentation that immigration or guardianship rules will accept. Proving that Sohrab is connected to Amir in a recognized way—often described as a half-nephew relationship—helps establish Amir as a guardian or sponsor. Alongside that, providing death certificates for Hassan and Farzana confirms who raised or protected Sohrab and helps establish lineage and guardianship authority. In addition, birth certificates are crucial for verifying Sohrab’s age and birth details, but in Afghanistan many families lack formal birth records, which makes this proof difficult or incomplete. Finally, until these papers and arrangements are in place, Sohrab might have to wait in an orphanage or similar facility during the process. All of these factors together explain why all of the above obstacles appear.
