One need is the ability to communicate either for them in English, or for someone else to speak their language.\n\nCounseling is of course a necessary tool. It is also necessary to have an understanding of what they went through and of their cultural background. To Americans something may seem horrific or completely normal and may be perceived as the opposite to someone who was raised in another culture.\n\nMy mom helped refugees from the former Yugoslavia for quite some time. Most of the people she helped were very successful with few problems. One of the men however, had severe problems and attacked a woman that was trying to help him. Perhaps services should be set up upon their arrival to avoid these things before they happen. That would require having a professional who can communicate in their language. Most of the people when they come here have not had advance notice and are not prepared to communicate.

"A Permanent Resident of the United States can travel freely outside of the US. A passport from the country of citizenship is normally all that is needed. To reenter the US a Permanent Resident normally needs to present the green card (Permanent Resident Card, Form I-551) for readmission. A reentry permit is needed for reentry for trips greater than one year but less than two years in duration."

A citizen of a foreign country, wishing to enter the U.S., generally must first obtain a visa, either a nonimmigrant visa for temporary stay, or an immigrant visa for permanent residence. The type of visa you must have is defined by immigration law, and relates to the purpose of your travel. If your destination is the U.S., please see our e-Jourmal US.\nA passport is an internationally recognized travel document that verifies the identity and nationality of the bearer. A valid U.S. passport is required to enter and leave most foreign countries. Only the U.S. Department of State has the authority to grant, issue or verify United States passports.

If you are a permanent resident of the United States you need to bring your green card or other proof of your right to enter the United States.  You also need to bring your current, valid passport, along with a Canadian visa if you need one.  You can find out if you need a visa by either contacting the consulate or embassy of your home country or Canada.  The fact that you are entitled to reside in the United States does not mean that you will be allowed to enter Canada.

Don't listen to this "18" crap.\n\nIf an American woman has a baby outside the United States the baby is American.  It's very important you do the following.... Go to the closest American consulate, or the embassy in Mexico City, and file a Report of Birth Abroad.\n\nYou will need to prove:\n1. You are American.\n2. The baby was born in Mexico.\n3. It's actually your baby.\n\nIf the embassy suspects it's not your baby they will require you and the baby to get genetic testing to prove maternity.\n\nAfter the Report of Birth Abroad has been filed the embassy or consulate will issue the baby a US passport and Social Security Number.

My parents immigrated to the United States from India in 1991. I was four years old. I grew up in the U.S., but my culture still plays a huge role in my life. We still carry on all the traditional customs as they do in India.\nI learned the language very quickly because I was so young when we moved here. I did all my schooling in the US, so my English is very good.\nOne piece of advice I would give to a newly arrived immigrant is to try and find some people from their country. This will lessen the culture shock and will make them feel more at home. Also, these people will be able to help them out, as they have probably been in a similar situation.

you have to get a passport from your own country.  Do you have a passport to be in the US?

If your friend is out of the country, he can go the nearest American Consulate or Embassy in the country he is in.\n\nA nonimmigrant person temporarily enters the United States for a specific purpose such as business, study, or pleasure. When he entered the country as a nonimmigrant, a U.S. immigration inspector should have examined his passport and visa and then given him a Form I-94 (Arrival/Departure Record). This record should tell him(in the lower right-hand corner) when he must leave the United States. If he wants to extend his stay in the United States, then he must ask for permission from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) before his authorized stay expires. Proof that he is willing to obey U.S. immigration laws will be important if he wants to remain or travel to the United States as an immigrant or nonimmigrant in the future. If he breaks immigration laws, he may also become subject to removal (deportation) so it is very important that he does this before his visa expires.

I agree with the other answerer...\n\nLEGAL Immigrants--"Welcome to America!  Can I help you?"\n\nILLEGAL Immigrants--"YOU ARE TRESSPASSING... return to your country, do not pass GO, do not collect $200 (cash, of course).  When you want to do things honorably and honestly, try again LEGALLY.  GOODBYE."

Firstly, you're going to have to tell us what country you live in, so that someone knowing that country's procedures can help you.

Most immigrants go to a new country to find economic freedom or freedom of speech or religion.  Since the USA has those things, it is not a valid reason for getting a residence status.  \n\nIf you have some really needed skill (a doctor or machine tool designer or something like that) you may get in some places like Australia.  Or if you have a pile of money.

None. Immigrants are people who immigrate to other countries to live. However some are classed as Illegal immigrants who have gained entry to a country illegally. Most of the world is populated with the ancestors of immigrants.\n A note for Turkish gamer 13.\n What a ridiculous answer. You dont really know an awful lot do you?
