Welcome to the new WRAPSnet.org!
In our continuing effort to enhance and modernize the way in which the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP) relays information, we have updated the WRAPSnet.org website. Our new responsive website design allows easy viewing and interaction across all types of devices—browsers, tablets, and smartphones. Additionally, we have removed the requirement to register and log in to access additional information.
We are pleased to provide WRAPSnet.org as a resource and greatly appreciate your interest in the USRAP.
