When will I get my first IOM travel loan bill?
Some background about this question:
- The International Organization for Migration (IOM) provides refugees with a travel loan for the transportation cost to the U.S. The travel loan is an interest-free loan made to refugees to pay for the cost of travel to the United States. Refugees are required to sign a promissory note to repay it before traveling to the U.S.
- With the promissory note, refugees are responsible for each of the following:
- Repaying travel loan through regular payments within the time schedule agreed upon with IOM.
- Starting to make payment as soon as receiving the first IOM bill.
- Informing resettlement agency about your changes of address.
- Informing resettlement agency in writing to request for extension or modification on the established payment schedule and terms if facing financial hardship.
- Failing to comply with the established payment schedule and terms will result in legal action to collect the amount past due and payable.
- Responsible for collection costs, attorney’s fees, and interests charged if collection action is taken.
