US Refugee Admissions Program

The United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) is an association of federal agencies and nonprofit organizations that work to identify and admit qualified refugees for resettlement in the United States. The program's mission is to offer resettlement opportunities to people overseas who are of special humanitarian concern, while protecting national security and combating fraud. The USRAP was established under the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 and has admitted over 3.1 million refugees since the passage of the Refugee Act in 1980, with the first refugee resettlement undertaken by the United States in response to the growing crisis in Europe in 1946.learn more on wikipedia
