Who We Are
No One Left Behind is a 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to saving the lives of America’s Wartime Allies and their families who have saved the lives of thousands of Americans in service to our country.
The Direct Access Program / IOM process usually takes 3-5 years.
No One Left Behind is only chartered to work on the Special Immigrant Visa. Though, we may post recommendations for assistance wiht the IOM process on our Facebook page from time to time, so please continue to monitor that page.
The International Refugee Assistance Program (IRAP) may be able to provide you assistance (they cannot make your case go faster). You can email them at info@refugeerights.org. They have a team of lawyers that help cases like yours for free. It may take them up to 6 weeks to respond to your initial email, however, as they take cases in the order they are received.
No One Left Behind offers assistance in areas where we have chapters.
