The quarterly stats for the Haitian Family Reunification Program (HFRP) as of December 31, 2016 are at the link below. They show 3,746 approvals (up from 2,996 the prior quarter), which is the number of approved individuals to whom travel documents have been issued. HFRP began in early 2015 after years of advocacy by IJDH and allies. The idea is to allow Haitians who have been approved for visas to wait for them in the United States with their families, where they can be safer, work, and send remittances back to improve Haiti’s stability.
