Importance of vetting - The purpose of vetting an immigrant or refugee is to determine their potential to assimilate into American culture, and ultimately their suitability for United States (U.S.) citizenship.[1] Determining this suitability involves learning as much about an applicant as possible. This can only happen if we ask the right questions during the vetting process. Depending on the answers given, a preliminary determination can be made towards future success of an applicant in regards to their assimilation into American culture.
