Iraqi Refugees

The US has announced limited processing of refugees from Iraq who are now in Turkey, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. If you are an Iraqi national who has family or friends in any of these countries, you are eligible to apply for an Affidavit of Relationship that will refer them for consideration to the US Refugee Program. The primarily eligibility requirement is that the person(s) be registered with the UNHCR and that the relative or friend filing have legal permanent status of any kind in the U.S. The International Rescue Committee (IRC), with multiple offices in California, can facilitate the process for no charge. For any questions, please contact the IRC at http://www.theirc.org/sf
