U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USICS) will hold a webinar next week on “Operation Allies Welcome” (OAW) and ongoing immigration support available to Afghan nationals.
Key Points:
Additional Information: President Joe Biden announced the creation of “Operation Allies Welcome” on Aug. 29, 2021, framing it as a key part of the U.S.’s efforts to support vulnerable Afghans. Since OAW’s creation, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has led the effort to help Afghan nationals, including those who worked alongside the U.S. in Afghanistan for the past two decades, to immigrate to the U.S. legally. Recent reporting indicates that the Biden administration is developing a portal to streamline the reunification process for Afghans and their families left behind in Afghanistan. BAL will provide updates as information becomes available.
