DHS & State advocacy for approved, vetted and ready to travel USRAP Afghan ally family
Resettlement to the US of approved, vetted, ready to travel Afghan ally family
Posted January 24, 2025
Background & Context
USRAP applicants were all set to travel to the US and then all resettlement flights were cancelled due to the new EO.
Immediate Problem
USRAP applicants are in a VERY dangerous situation in PAK and need to get out immediately. All applicants worked for or with Americans when they were in AFG so are at extreme risk until they arrive here in the US.
Work & Deliverables
Contact and connect with DHS and State reps to advocate for approval of vetted, cleared and ready to travel Afghan ally family to arrive in the US. Family is also being privately sponsored by the State created program Welcome Corp, and sponsors are standing by and waiting for their arrival.
Preparation Phase
- Meeting to discuss USRAP case in detail
Collaboration Phase
- Connect with DHS to determine how to advocate for specific USRAP cases
- Connect with State to determine how to advocate for specific USRAP cases
- Provide any and all details regarding specific USRAP case to DHS and State as requested
Wrap Up
- We'll bake you a thank you cake!
