About The Cultural Orientation Section

This section explains the Cultural Orientation stage of the United States refugee resettlement process and helps South Africans understand what to expect before departure.

Here you will find information about when Cultural Orientation usually takes place during the refugee process, where it may be conducted, what topics are normally covered, what documents or preparation may be required, and what applicants can generally expect during the sessions.

For many refugees, Cultural Orientation is one of the first opportunities to gain a clearer understanding of what resettlement in the United States may actually look like.

The information in this section is intended to help reduce uncertainty, answer common questions, and help applicants feel more prepared for the next stage of the process.

The goal of this section is to provide clear, practical, and realistic information about Cultural Orientation and how it fits into the overall refugee resettlement journey.
