Notice of Public Comments on FY 2016 U.S. Refugee Admissions Program

The United States actively supports efforts to provide protection, assistance, and durable solutions for refugees. The U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) is a critical component of the United States' overall refugee protection efforts around the globe. In Fiscal Year 2015, the President established the ceiling for refugee admissions into the United States at 70,000 refugees.

As we begin to prepare the FY 2016 U.S. Refugee Admission Program, we welcome the public's input. Information about the Program can be found at http://www.state.gov/g/prm/ .
