<h1 class="entry-title">Procedure in Admitting Refugees</h1> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Refugees do not enter as immigrants with immigrant visas, although it is contemplated that in due course they will become lawful permanent residents. The statute directs that they may be admitted in the Attorney General&rsquo;s&nbsp;discretion and pursuant to regulations prescribed by him.</p> <p>The Attorney General acts, of course, through the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which has offices in various foreign countries to accept applications for refugee benefits.</p>
