How can I obtain a refugee visa?

In order to obtain a refugee visa, you must meet certain requirements determined by the U.S. government. Those seeking asylum in Vermont must first be referred to the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) by either the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) or another resettlement agency. The USRAP reviews each case and determines if it meets the necessary criteria. Once approved, a refugee visa will be issued to those applying for asylum. This visa allows travel and entry into the United States. During the process of receiving your refugee visa, you may be asked to provide documents or other evidence of your status. This could include proof of identity and nationality, a record of any past persecution, and evidence of a well-founded fear of future persecution. In addition, to apply for a refugee visa you must have a sponsor, such as a family member or organization, who is willing to help support you financially, as well as provide other assistance when necessary. Your sponsor must also provide a signed affidavit of support. If you do not have a sponsor, you may be eligible for assistance from the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR). Once your case has been reviewed, and you have fulfilled all the necessary requirements, you will be eligible to receive a refugee visa. This visa will allow travel and entry into the United States, where you will be able to seek asylum in Vermont.

Para obtener una visa de refugiado, en primer lugar debe solicitar el asilo en el estado de Vermont. Puedes hacer esto presentando una solicitud directamente al Servicio de Ciudadanía e Inmigración de los Estados Unidos (USCIS) o presentando una solicitud de asilo ante un representante de inmigración. Estos servicios se ofrecen a través de inmigración local y oficinas del USCIS. Una vez que se haya presentado su solicitud de asilo, el USCIS evaluará su solicitud para verificar que cumpla con los requisitos de asilo. Si se aprueba la solicitud, recibirá una visa de refugiado. Para recibir una visa de refugiado, tienes que demostrar que eres un refugiado con derechos y deberes específicos. Para calificar como refugiado, tienes que demostrar que has sufrido persecución u otra forma de sufrimiento por el motivo de tu religión, origen étnico, país de origen, género o posesión o creencia de opiniones políticas. Además, tendrá que presentar documentos que respalden sus afirmaciones. Estos documentos deben incluir información acerca de quién está persiguiéndolo, qué riesgos específicos está enfrentando y cómo esas amenazas les afectan. Si todas sus pruebas coinciden con los requisitos de asilo, entonces es posible que el USCIS le otorgue una visa de refugiado.
