Administration for Children and Families Office of Refugee Resettlement Policy Letter 23-06: Continuation of ORR Services for Certain Afghans Who Have Filed for Re-Parole, Asylum, or Adjustment of Status. The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) is issuing this policy letter (PL) to clarify that states and grantees may continue to provide ORR benefits and services to Afghan parolees who have a pending re-parole application, a pending asylum application, or a pending adjustment of status application with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). This guidance applies even if an Afghan parolee’s initial period of parole expires while their applications are pending with USCIS.
