Dear Sir/Madam:

The Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, Public Law 110-181, was signed

enacted on June 3, 2008 authorizes 5,000 special immigrant visas annually for Iraqi
employees and contractors for fiscal years 2008 through 2012. This provision creates a

Dear applicant:
Our records indicate that you have applied for a Special Immigrant Visa. If you are
issued such a visa, you have the option, but are not required, to receive certain benefits
under the U.S. Department of State's resettlement program that are available to refugees
who are resettleing in the United States. More information about the program appears
below. You should indicate your decision to receive or decline these benefits by
returning the attached Refugee Benefits Election Form with your signature to the National
Visa Center (NVC) as soon as possible but no later than 10 days after your visa
issuance date, as indicated on your visa. Failure to do so will result in the denial of any
future request for Department of State-funded refugee benefits. Please see below for
more details on this policy.
The following is information that will help you decide if you want to participate in the
U.S. Department of State's resettlement program. Additional information on refugee
benefits, including detailed answers to frequently asked questions, can be found on the
U.S. Department of State's Refugee Processing Center (RPC) website, at
http://www.wrapsnet.org/RPCWRAPS/FAQs/tabid/75/language/en-US/Default.aspx:
* Resettlement is a multi-step process. If you choose to participate, you will be asked
to provide additional information about yourself and your family. This information will
be given to the RPC, which will share the information you provide with a resettlement
agency in the United States. If your visa application is approved, that resettlement agency
will provide certain services intended to
help you adjust to life in the United States.
* The information sent to the resettlement agency will include information about you:
your education, occupation, ethnicity, religion, family members who will be resettling
with you, medical problems
that need attention and location of your friends or relatives who already live in the United
States. The resettlement agency will use this information to determine the resettlement
site that is best for you and to prepare for your arrival. Before your departure, the RPC
will provide you with a sponsorship assurance document indicating where in the United
States you will be resettled. While you can express a view about where you might be
resettled, if you elect to participate, we cannot guarantee that you will be given your
preference.
* The International Organization for Migration (IOM) will contact you to arrange your
travel and give you a departure date. If you choose to receive benefits, IOM will make all
of your travel arrangements. You and your family members are eligible to receive
transportation to the United States funded through a travel loan. Before you travel, you
will sign a promissory note committing to repay the loan over a three-year period. You
may also choose to pre-pay the cost of your travel arranged by IOM. IOM will provide
information about your travel itinerary. In the United States, IOM representatives will
assist you at the port of entry and help you with immigration and customs procedures.
* When you reach your final destination, a representative from the resettlement agency
will meet you at the airport, take you to your initial housing and assist you in settling in to
your new community.
The U.S. Government has established guidelines and provides funding for the
resettlement services that you will receive once in the United States. Your resettlement
agency will have a local office in or near the town where you will be resettled and will
provide basic living assistance and support for the first 30 days after you arrive. With the
help of their staff, during the first 90 days in the U.S. you will do the following things:
* Apply for a social security card (you must have one to get a job)
* Learn about and be referred to employment services
* Enroll your children in school
* Learn to use public transportation
* Be referred to English language classes, if necessary
* Begin to learn about U.S. customs and law
* Learn about and be referred to community services that can help you, including
social services, cash and medical assistance, and food stamps, if necessary
* Find out about other government services and programs and how to apply
It is important and in your interest to return the attached Refugee Benefits Election Form
to the NVC along with your visa application as early in the process as possible but no
later than 10 days after your visa has been issued. We will be expecting it as a part of
your application package. If you wish to receive benefits from the U.S. Departments of
State's resettlement program, we will need to make important arrangements in advance of
your departure, which can take anywhere from 60 to 90 days. The RPC will be unable to
accomodate requests for refugee benefits submitted more than 10 days after the visa
issuance date, as indicated on the visa itself. Should the RPC receive a request for
benefits more than 10 days after visa issuance, the request will be denied. In order to
administer the program efficiently, we therefore ask that you submit a scanned copy of
the attached form to the NVC along with all of the other documentation that you have
been requested to send to NVC.
If you choose not to participate in the U.S. Department of State's resettlement program,
please indicate this decision on the Refugee Benefits Election Form and submit a scanned
copy to the NVC along with all of the other documentation related to your Special
Immigratn Visa application. Please consider your decision carefully. If you decide not to
request Department of State-funded benefits, however, you will likely continue to be
eligible for benefits funded by the Health and Human Serives Office of Refugee
Resettlement (ORR). These federally-funded programs provide a variety of services and
have strict time limits and guidelines for participation. You can find additional
information about these benefits by visiting the Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) Office of Refugee Resettlement web site at
http://www.acf.hhs.gov/programs/orr.

17 Things You Need to Know
About Resettling in the United States
Note: This document was prepared to assist you in adjusting to your new life in the United
States. Professional staff from non-profit resettlement agencies across the U.S. collaborated
to identify key points on issues of primary concern to refugees who have already been
resettled. These suggestions were then collated by the Department of State Bureau of
Population, Refugees, and Migration as a tool to help inform you about the many new
experiences you will encounter as you resettle in your new home. Welcome!
Employment
1) The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program is designed to assist you with basic needs during
your initial weeks in the United States. Finding employment will be one of your first goals
when you arrive. It is important to learn English, but equally important to accept the first
reasonable job that becomes available. Being in a workplace provides an excellent
opportunity to practice speaking English. The sooner you begin working, the sooner you will
be able to pay your own living expenses. Many families find that both husband and wife must
work in order for the family to become economically self-sufficient.
2) Your first job in the U.S. will probably not be in the same profession or field as your job
back home. It may be an entry level non-professional job, and may even be temporary or
part-time. You may eventually find a job in your field after you establish a work history in the
U.S., gain proficiency in the English language, and obtain any required recertification or
training. Until then, entry level employment is the best way to learn about the American
workplace and build experience that will be appreciated by employers in future jobs.
3) You will be referred to an employment program and assisted with finding a job no matter
where you are resettled.
4) Because of the current U.S. economy, it may take longer than usual to find a job. Also,
full-time or permanent positions may be harder to obtain.
Reception and Placement (R&P) Benefits and Other Assistance
5) Your resettlement agency and its federal and local government partners have limited
resources to meet your immediate basic needs upon arrival. The amount of resources
available to you will depend on a variety of factors. Early employment and wise budgeting of
money are crucial for your early self-sufficiency.
6) The cost of living and availability of public support varies throughout the U.S. The
assistance that is provided to you will not be equivalent from one place to another. If your
friends in one U.S. location tell you they are receiving certain benefits, this does not mean
that you will receive the same benefits.
7) Moving to another location will affect your resettlement benefits, as will refusing to go to
your assigned U.S. destination. The resettlement agency in the new location may not be
able to provide the same level of services and/or cash assistance. Before planning to relocate,
be sure to discuss the idea with your agency.
8) There is no preferential treatment for refugees who worked for or were associated with the
U.S. Government. Eligibility for refugee benefits and services is not affected by nationality,
race, religion or gender.
9) You do not need to pay anyone - friends, relatives, or any agency - to sponsor you in the
U.S.
10) You will begin to repay your IOM travel loan within six months of your arrival in the U.S.
Housing, Clothing, and Furnishings
11) The initial assistance you receive for housing, household supplies, and furniture is very
basic. Many items such as clothing and furniture may be used, secondhand, or very
inexpensive, but all items provided will be clean and hygienic.
12) The U.S. Government requires the resettlement agencies to provide basic household
goods and furnishings. This does NOT include luxury items such as: TVs, radios, telephones,
DVD players, computers, vacuums, bicycles, cars, or air conditioners. These items may be
available if the agency receives them as donations from other sources.
13) Apartments are the most accessible and affordable form of housing for many Americans,
and this is what you should expect for your first home in the U.S. Single individuals may be
placed with another single person of the same gender to better afford living expenses. If you
choose to do so, and respecting any lease agreement you may have signed, you may move
after you start working and can afford the housing of your choice.
Health Care
14) Public health care coverage is limited; dental or eye care may not be covered. It may take
weeks to see a doctor for a routine appointment, although critical health needs will be met in
a timely manner. Once you become employed and can purchase private medical insurance,
your health care options will increase.
15) There is no stigma attached to mental health or psychosocial services in the U.S., and you
should take advantage of these services if they are available and you think that they would
help you. Your resettlement agency sponsor will assist you in finding appropriate health care
services.
Cultural Adjustment
16) Your first year in the U.S. will be a period of adjustment. You will be living in a new
community, adhering to new laws, working in a new job, and making new friends. For the
first few months, your resettlement agency staff will assist you in your efforts to rebuild your
life and will do their best to help you become economically self-sufficient as soon as
possible.
17) The U.S. consists of people of different racial and ethnic backgrounds, and the
resettlement agencies that help refugees are equally diverse. Your case workers may
