I married a refugee

[PMartin37 161]

I arrived to the USA as a refugee from Serbia through international rescue committee maybe you can contact them and they might be able to help with the passport situation. I know that if you come as a refugee you might not need a passport I didnt have one. But your husband is not comig as a refugee so I am not sure how it will work. Do they have emergency passports like the USA gives to Green card holders that don't have passports? I wish you the best of luck.

Off topic my husband was/is a refugee as well but he got Serbian citizenship and their passport which he used to come here on the cr1 visa.

Dana,

I believe this is what my husband plans to use for a passport. He says that the UN/International Red Cross can issue a travel document for him to submit with the IV packet. I'm going a little crazy trying to educate myself on all the details related to the immigration process. I'm getting there though. The information and advice on this website certainly give me more confidence to tackle this bear lol

Thanks for your advice and congrats to you!

If you are still there, I work for a refugee resettlement agency and we have low cost immigration help, our lawyer knows the refugee process because most of his clients are refugees. Send me a personal message and I will give you his email address. He's a pretty cool guy. Refugees usually enter the country with a I94 form. This is what we use to identify them until they receive their green card.

I married a naturalized refugee from ex-Yugoslavia, and ended up working at the office that brought his family.

Well, that's a plus, for them to issue a travel document to be used with the IV document intake. That's really, really cool, and IMO, one less thing to worry about. whew.
