The U.S. Government agreed that
Afghans paroled under Operation Allies Welcome or those paroled
then subsequently granted Temporary Protected Status (TPS), could
request U.S. Government-supported family reunification support for
their spouses and unmarried children under 21. The State Department
needs to identify people who are eligible for this program. While
the State Department has, to date, been relying on incoming
requests via email to manage the intake of these requests, State
requires a publicly advertised system that is sustainable and
efficient and that enables data validation with U.S. Government
databases.
