‘Land of milk and honey’: SA Indian couple shares their journey from Durban to the US as refugees

A South African Indian couple from Durban, who became refugees in the United States through the Refugee Admissions Program, shared their experiences of adjusting to life in Georgia. They sold their business and home in Durban to relocate after learning about the program in early 2023. Among approximately 7,000 applicants, many were white Afrikaner farmers who left South Africa under the program. The couple is currently renting a home and seeking to purchase one, with the husband employed and the wife awaiting feedback on her job applications. She has taken on online work to manage childcare costs. Both expressed appreciation for the safety, community support, and cultural acceptance they’ve experienced in the U.S., describing the environment as welcoming and secure.
