Review for International Rescue Committee, New York, NY, USA

Rating: 4 stars  

I think that the IRC organization lives up to its commitments in providing educational and economic wellbeing to refugees. The organization helps (among other actions) refugees to apply for permanent residency and US citizenship as well as helps them to settle down in the new country through active social engagement and learning opportunity.

In the summer of 2020, I had a chance to observe the organization’s operations as it was in charge of providing refugees support in US citizenship application.

Becoming a citizen is a very important part in a refugee’s life history. I observed the IRC provide information on how to obtain legal assistance, prepare paperwork for those who have difficulty understanding the English language, and assist with learning about the US history and civics test. Overall, the process of educating immigrants about the necessary steps needed to apply for a US citizenship as well as the support with each step looked well streamlined to me as it did yield results. I would highly recommend this organization, and have donated in the past.
