Answer 1

http://www.uscis.gov/ handles all US immigration. I suspect they'll have to petition personally to the US Embassy in Iraq, not through you in any way, as refugees. But you could help them with the forms or hiring an immigration attorney, or by looking it up on the internet, or joining a Yahoo Group about immigration from Iraq.

Answer 2

You have to make up your mind whether u want a vis aor green card before you visit the embassy. If you say you want either, both will be denied! Green card is an immigrant visa showing intent to want to live in USA permanently. Non-immigrant visa, you must show intent to return to your country and ability to support yourself without working in the USA during your temporary stay. The embassy will ask a lot of documentation as proof that you dont intend to stay permanently. And if you say, you may want a green card, they your visa WILL BE DENIED.

To get a green card (immigrant visa) you need to be a close relative to a USC or USLPR. Spouse, Mother/Father, Sibling USC, Child, but unfortunately UNCLE/AUNT DO NOT qualify! You can try to get them the green card through employment. Need to find what their education and skills and work experience are and approach employer and ask if wiling to sponsor one of them (the spouse and unmarried children under 21 can accompany them without the need to be directly sponsored).But you need an immigration attorney to help you with the process and expect it to take at best many months (depending on the type of job they are being sponsored for). Check if Iraquis qualify for the visa lottery this year. If so, give it a try. Its free. Visit USCIS website for instructions and info. Dont know what their chances for asylum are, even if they have a "solid" claim because politics are stronger than the law, to tell you the truth. If the Dept. of State has issued a statement that it is "safe" for alleged persecuted Iraquis to stay there because the US troops are doing their job, then, regardless of all the news say everyday, your case may be denied. Again, need to check about that with an immigration lawyer. Usually a consulatation will run you with many lawyers btw $50-$150.
If they are professionals, they may have a shot at getting an H-1b non-immigrant visa which is the quickest way to get here, if you have an employer to sponsor them in the USA. The process takes about 3-4 months with a lawyer that works fast. But the first step is to find out what are their job skills! The number os thos visas are limited and they start granting them in October and ussually run out by feb or march so you need to apply by December! If they have some extraordinary circumstances, may qualify for a humanitarian visa. Make sure you have ALL their life details, info, when you go to the lawyer's office so he/she can come up with the best plan of action. When I lived in the USA, I practiced immigration law for years and can tell you that a good lawyer can be quite creative still working within the law. Good luck.

An American citizen or LPR cannot petition for immigration for aunts, uncles or cousins, only for spouse, parents, children and siblings. Here is more information:
