The Tucson Afghan Support Center was a huge success, and we are excited to share a collection of inspirational stories from the three-day event. Between June 1 and 3, our providers assisted 258 Afghans – 43% of the local population. Guests reported their experiences were very favorable, with 89% saying they were very or extremely satisfied. It was incredibly powerful to see local nonprofits, businesses and organizations involved in the effort dedicated to the mission of serving immigrants on their American journey. We look forward to continuing the great momentum from our first two events while at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center in Sacramento from June 21 to 24.
As DHS’s commitment to Operation Allies Welcome parolees is enduring, USCIS hosts Afghan Support Centers to assist them in connecting to services integral to their long-term stability and integration in the United States. While USCIS provides the support center forum, USCIS does not endorse any service providers present and does not participate in, nor is responsible for, the services provided by any service providers.
