Refugee Resettlement in the United States is a process by which a refugee applies and becomes accepted to live and work in the United States. Numerous international, governmental, and non-governmental agencies coordinate to resettle a refugee in the United States.

U.S. Refugee Admissions Program
When UNHCR — or, occasionally, a U.S. Embassy or a specially trained nongovernmental organization — refers a refugee applicant to the United States for resettlement, the case is first received and processed by a Resettlement Support Center (RSC). The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) funds and manages nine RSCs around the world, operated by international and nongovernmental organizations and one U.S. interests section. Under PRM’s guidance, the RSCs prepare eligible refugee applications for U.S. resettlement consideration.

United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) is comprised of :
 * The Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) of the U.S. Department of State.
 * U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
 * The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
 * Five international or nongovernmental organizations operating Resettlement Support Centers around the world under the supervision and funding of the Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration (PRM) of the U.S. Department of State
 * Nine domestic nongovernmental organizations with a total of about 350 affiliated offices across the United States.
 * Thousands of private citizens who volunteer their time and skills to help refugees resettle in the United States.
