**** Kosova Action Network Discussion List ****


Here is the most current information I have on how the refugees will be
taken care of in the US.  Contacting one of these offices is probably best.
Hope this helps.

> Dear Ms. Malushi,
> 
> As you are aware, the US Government has announced that it will begin to
evacuate up to 20,000 Kosovar refugees from Macedonia to the US in
approximately one week.
> The evacuations will be voluntary and initially will give priority to
refugees with close relatives in the U.S.  Individuals will enter the
United States as refugees and will receive assistance from a refugee
resettlement agency.
> 
> We recommend that individuals with permanent status in the US who have
Kosovar refugee relatives contact a refugee resettlement agency immediately
to file an Affidavit of Relationship (AOR) on their behalf.  The AOR should
be filed by the individual in the U.S. with the closest level of family
link - i.e. parent, child, sibling, grandparent, grandchild, aunt, uncle,
cousin. 
> This document will be used as evidence to establish a legitimate
relationship between the refugee and their relative in the U.S. The agency
that will assist the US Government in the evacuation also will use the
document to locate the refugee relative in Macedonia, to arrange their
interview with a US Government representative and their evacuation.
> 
> AORS can be filed at an International Rescue Committee office in the
following locations:
> 
> Decatur, GA (Atlanta)  - (404) 292-7731
