With the recent announcement of the Refugee Executive Order by US President Donald Trump, many South Africans may be considering applying for resettlement in the United States. While the official application process may not yet be open, it is crucial for potential applicants to begin preparing now to ensure a smooth and successful transition.

Why You Should Start Preparing Now

One of the biggest mistakes that applicants make is waiting until the last minute to get their affairs in order. Once the application process opens, competition will be fierce, and those who have already prepared will have a distinct advantage. Some of the key areas to focus on include:

• Understanding Eligibility Requirements: Ensure you meet the criteria outlined in the executive order.
• Gathering Necessary Documentation: Passports, proof of asylum claims, financial statements, and other personal records should be readily available.
• Developing a Business or Career Plan: Many refugees will need to establish a means of income upon arrival, and having a structured plan can significantly improve the chances of success in the U.S.
