IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT: PLEASE READ AND DISTRIBUTE WIDELY
Recently the resettlement agencies have been approached by several refugees who have been assisted by community members to complete immigration forms. Because the forms/processes were not completed properly, these families have lost time and substantial money that cannot be recovered. Please read this important letter and distribute it widely. Immigration forms and procedures are very complex and unforgiving. If you have questions, please contact one of the agencies or IOR. CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD LETTER
