About the Prepare To Go Section

This section is designed to help South Africans prepare practically and realistically for possible refugee resettlement to the United States.

Here you will find guidance, preparation tips, and recommendations covering important topics such as when to begin preparing, reducing and organizing belongings, deciding when to sell vehicles or property, quite jobs or sell businesses, handling personal documents, using agents or service providers carefully, preparing financially, and planning for departure.

It also includes practical recommendations on packing, luggage planning, travel preparation, what to bring with you, what to leave behind, and other useful considerations that may help make the transition smoother and less stressful.

Every refugee situation is different, and there is no single approach that works for everyone. The information shared in this section is intended as general guidance only, and each person or family should carefully consider their own circumstances before making important decisions.

The goal of this section is to help you prepare in a practical, informed, and organized way for the possibility of starting a new life in the United States.

With love
