US Refugee Admissions Program
RSC Africa is operated by CWS as part of a cooperative agreement with the US Department of State
The U.S. government and RSC Africa - operated by Church World Service - are dedicated to the processing of resettlement cases around the world as part of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP).
RSC Africa continues to process cases that were referred to the USRAP for departure. The RSC will contact applicants accordingly based on the action needed to continue processing the case. If you are scheduled for an interview or appointment, you will be contacted and notified accordingly.
Updating RSC on the changes to your case is one way you can continue to help your case. Please include your case number on all correspondence. RSC Africa is receiving a high number of inquiries. We kindly ask for your patience as we seek to respond in a timely manner.
