How can I obtain a refugee visa?
In order to obtain a refugee visa in South Carolina, you must first be found to be a refugee in accordance with the Immigration and Nationality Act. This generally means that you must prove to the United States government that you have been persecuted or fear persecution in your home country due to your race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group. The next step is to apply for a refugee visa at the United States embassy or consulate in your country. There you will need to provide documentation to prove your refugee status, including the persecution you have faced or fear. Your application will be reviewed either by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) or the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). If your application for a refugee visa is approved, you will be scheduled for an interview with a US consular officer. This interview is used to verify the information in your application and assess if you are eligible to receive a refugee visa. If you pass the interview and meet all other criteria, you will be issued a refugee visa. The visa will allow you to enter the United States as a refugee and seek asylum in South Carolina. Once you have arrived in South Carolina, you will be able to apply for asylum and work authorization.
