US calls quotas for refugees in 2021

US President Joe Biden signed a decree that determines how many refugees can enter the United States in fiscal 2021. This is the period from October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021.

According to the document, the Biden administration has distributed the number of visas for refugees as follows:

  • Africa – 7 thousand;
  • East Asia – 1 thousand;
  • Europe and Central Asia – 1.5 thousand;
  • Latin America and the states of the Caribbean Sea – 3 thousand;
  • Middle East and South Asia – 1.5 thousand.

Another 1,000 visas will remain in reserve.

At the same time, the Biden administration argues that these quotas may still be changed. It is known that Biden promised 62.5 thousand quotas for refugees.
