I am hearing you need refuge status to be accepted into program. Some folks who have been stuck in limbo in places like middleast are moving back to africa to claim refugee status. More to come but seems like good opportunity for somali people to pursue better life in America

Nah man more people getting good opportunities and education is good for the Somali people. More people sending money back to their families in Somalia since ppl born in the west won’t Have as much stronger ties and having a more educated diaspora is a net postive

Unfortunately a lot of muslim countries still banned. Many of my family memeber applied for refugees status in ethiopia and kenya. i think a lot of somalis back home did as well knowing about the ban. give program a shot while gate still open they wont give chance to IDPs which is also unfortunate

You will need to raise 2k and also support the family once they arrive with housing and getting them acclimated per the program.
