Historia

Background: 

1. Mara nyingi wakimbizi hufika na mfuko wa plastiki wa Shirika la Kimataifa la Uhamiaji (IOM) wenye habari muhimu. Nyaraka hizi ni muhimu kwa mashirika yote ya Marekani yanayohusika na makazi, pamoja na ofisi za serikali za mitaa na za kitaifa wakati wa mchakato wa awali. Nyaraka hizo pia ni muhimu kwa maombi yoyote ya ukaazi wa kudumu na uraia wa Marekani, ambao unaweza kuwasilishwa baada ya miaka 5 ya kupata ukaazi wa kudumu. Kwa bahati mbaya, kupoteza nyaraka hizi kunaweza kusababisha matatizo kwa mtu aliye mpya nchini.
2. Frequently refugees arrive with an International Organization of Migration (IOM) plastic bag of important information.  These documents are vital for all U.S. resettlement agencies as well as state and local offices at initial inprocessing.  The documents are also vital for any applications for legal permanent residence and U.S. Citizenship which is 5 years after legal permanent residence.  Unfortunately, losing any of these documents can hurt the newcomer.  

 

1. Inashauriwa sana kuwa kuna faili iliyopangwa vizuri inayoundwa haraka kwa ajili ya mtu aliye mpya. Aidha, rekodi ya kidijitali kama vile kuchanganua na kuweka kwenye muundo wa PDF inapendekezwa sana. Kwa kuwa wakimbizi wote lazima wawe na simu za mkononi, faili zinaweza kuchanganuliwa na kuhifadhiwa ndani ya faili za picha. Hii inafanya kazi vizuri hasa kwa mashirika ambayo hayahitaji nakala halisi na kuruhusu faili za PDF kutumwa kwao kwa barua pepe.
2. It is highly recommended that an organized file folder be quickly established for the newcomer.  Additionally, a digital record such as scanning to a PDF format is highly recommended.  Since all refugees must have a cell phone, files can be scanned and stored within the picture files.  This works especially well for those organizations which do not require the original copy and allow PDF files to be mailed to them.

 

I-94 – Rekodi ya Usafiri ya I-94, inayojulikana rasmi kama Fomu I-94 Arrival/Departure Record, ni hati ya karatasi au ya kidijitali inayotolewa na Afisa wa Ulinzi na Forodha wa Marekani (CBP) kwa watu wapya wanaoingia nchini Marekani. Inahitajika kwa huduma nyingi za umma, ikiwa ni pamoja na leseni ya dereva au nambari ya bima ya jamii.

Vitabu vya Matibabu. Wakimbizi (hali maalum) mara nyingi wanatoka katika Makambi ya Wakimbizi ya Umoja wa Mataifa. Kukaa kawaida katika kambi ni miaka 15. Ripoti ya matibabu “kawaida” huchukuliwa kabla ya kuwasili pamoja na chanjo. Ripoti hizi hupelekwa kwenye kituo cha matibabu cha Marekani cha eneo hilo kwenye bahasha zilizofungwa. Ili kuandikisha watoto wa umri wa shule, bahasha iliyofungwa ya chanjo hutolewa na kituo hiki cha matibabu kwa shule.

Other remarks:

Medical Records.  Refugees (a specific status) frequently come from United Nations Refugee Camps. Average stay at camps is 15 years.  A medical report is “usually” taken before arrival along with vaccinations.  These reports go the local U.S. medical facility in sealed envelopes.  In order to register school aged children, a SEALED envelope of vaccinations is provided by this medical facility for the school.
