Enfòmasyon Konsila Ameriken nan Pòtòprens sou evakyasyon sitwayen ameriken

Joint Information Center (JIC Haiti)
Sant Enfòmasyon Konjwen

  • Kounye-a, Anbasad Peyi Etazini nan Pòtoprens ap evakye sitwayen ameriken sèlman.
  • Yon timoun ki sitwayen ameriken ka vwayaje Ozetazini akonpanye de yon adilt (epi moun sila-a pa oblije yon sitwayen ameriken). Li pi bon si moun sa-a ta youn nan paran li yo, osinon yon manm nan fanmi li.
  • Se yon sèl moun (e moun sila-a pa oblije yon sitwayen ameriken) yo ap otorize akonpanye yon timoun ki sitwayen ameriken Ozetazini.
  • Si gen dezoutwa timoun ki sitwayen ameriken nan yon menm fanmi, se toujou yon sèl moun (e moun sila-a pa oblije yon sitwayen ameriken) yo ap otorize akonpanye yo Ozetazini.
  • Paran timoun ki sitwayen ameriken-an oblije bay moun kap akonpanye timoun nan yon papye ki di ke li otorize li vwayaje avèk timoun nan.
  • Paran timoun nan dwe dakò pou li remèt gouvènman ameriken lajan tikè pou ni timoun nan ni moun kap akonpanye li-a.

WHY DO YOU PEOPLE THINK IF WE OFFER AMERICA TO TAKE OVER HAITI, CONSIDER IT LIKE PUERTO RICO?

BECAUSE THEY DO WHATEVER THEY WANT IN HAITI ANYWAY.

What did Anderson Cooper do exactly for Haiti?

I feel like I have been standing naked in front of the world for the past two weeks.

We must not forget that Mr. Cooper is a well paid journalist, and is doing his job. He is making a name for himself, and adding to his resume.

I'd like to thank the American Ambassy in Haiti for the humanitarian gesture toward the haitian people.

However, why immigration and naturalization services does not allow those who have their parents here in United Stated, those affected by the earthquake, who already applied for a visa the chance to join their parents, if they really want to help a non-citizen to come. I am an American citizen and I have applied for permanent residence for my sister Polette Antoine which has no husband, no kid, no mom, no dad to help her
