All SIV applicants should indicate their decision to receive or decline these benefits by returning a scanned, signed copy of the Resettlement Benefits Election Form, included in their visa application packet, to the National Visa Center (NVC) as soon as possible but no later than 10 days after the visa issuance date, as indicated on the visa itself. Failure to do so will result in the denial of any future request for Department of State-funded refugee benefits. SIV recipients who choose to elect Department of State benefits must accept all of the associated benefits, including IOM-arranged travel. For more information on SIV benefits offered through the State Department, please review our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ), available at http://www.wrapsnet.org/RPCWRAPS/FAQs/tabid/75/language/en-US/Default.aspx.
