What about family reunion for US relatives with immediate family members overseas who are not eligible to file AORs, I-730 Refugee/Asylee Relative Petitions or other immigrant petitions?
The refugee is advised to contact the local UNHCR office. If the refugee meets certain UNHCR requirements, he or she may be referred to a third country for resettlement. Family reunification is a priority for UNCHR; therefore, it is important that the refugee states that he or she has family members in the United States. This will assist UNCHR in determining where the case is referred. UNHCR generally does not make a Priority one referral though when US relatives have access to family reunion through other means– i.e. I-730’s or the Priority Three process.
