| Content | In August 2021, President Biden designated the Department of Homeland Security as the lead federal agency to coordinate Operation Allies Welcome (OAW), the ongoing effort to bring Americans and vulnerable Afghans – many of whom worked on behalf of the United States – to the United States and support their resettlement. As part of Operation Allies Refuge (OAR), CBP deployed over 190 personnel among the approximately 400 DHS professionals deployed to Bahrain, Germany, Kuwait, Italy, Qatar, Spain, and UAE. CBP personnel worked in coordination with the Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and Department of State to process, screen, and vet evacuated Afghans. Between August 2021 and September 2022, Afghans who arrived in the United States under OAW/OAR, were given a two-year parole under the OAR class of admission.For corrections to your initial I-94 issued under Operation Allies Refuge or Operational Allies Welcome, please click the following link and select the associated drop downs: I-94 OAW Questions: Topic: I-94 Traveler Compliance Applicable Issue: Operations Allies Welcome (OAR/OAW)” Please include the following in your request:
