Connecting with an Afghan Placement and Assistance Program Resettlement Agency
Afghans granted humanitarian parole who independently depart from a Safe Haven (military base) may wish to access the Afghan Placement and Assistance (APA) Program. To do so, individuals must approach a local APA agency within 90 days of departure from the Safe Haven to request assistance. Afghan parolees may still be eligible for other benefits and programs even without participating in the APA Program.
