Abstract of proposed collection: The 

Affidavit of Relationship (AOR) will be 

required by the Department of State to 

establish qualifications for access to the 

Priority 3 Family Reunification category 

of the United States Refugee Admissions 

Program (USRAP) by persons of certain 

nationalities who are family members of 

qualifying ‘‘anchors’’ (persons already 

admitted to the U.S. as refugees or who 

were granted asylum in the U.S., 

including persons who may now be 

lawful permanent residents or U.S. 

citizens). Qualifying family members of 

U.S.-based anchors include spouses, 

unmarried children under age 21, and 

parents. Eligible nationalities are 

determined on an annual basis 

following careful review of several 

factors, including the United Nations 

High Commissioner for Refugees’ 

annual assessment of refugees in need of 

resettlement, prospective or ongoing 

repatriation efforts, and U.S. foreign 

policy interests. The Priority 3 category, 

along with the other categories of cases 

that have access to USRAP, is outlined 

in the annual Proposed Refugee 

Admissions—Report to Congress, which 

is submitted on behalf of the President 

in fulfillment of the requirements of 

Section 207(e)(1)–(7) of the Immigration 

and Nationality Act, and authorized by 

the annual Presidential Determination 

for Refugee Admissions. The Priority 

3—Family Reunification category has 

been suspended since 2008 while PRM 

and the Department of Homeland 

Security’s U.S. Citizenship and 

Immigration Services (DHS/USCIS) have 

examined how additional procedures 

may be incorporated into P–3 

processing to address indications of a 

high incidence of fraud in the program. 

PRM and DHS/USCIS are now preparing 

to resume the program. Having an 

Affidavit of Relationship filed on a 

potential applicant’s behalf by an 

eligible anchor relative will be one of 

the criteria for access to this program. 

The AOR also informs the anchor 

relative that DNA evidence of all 

claimed parent-child relationships 

between the anchor relative and parents 

and/or unmarried children under 21 

will be required as a condition of access 

to P–3 processing and that the costs will 

be borne by the anchor relative or their 

family members who may apply for 

access to refugee processing, or their 

derivative beneficiaries, as the case may 

be. Successful applicants may be 

eligible for reimbursement of DNA test 

costs. 

Methodology: Information for the 

Affidavit of Relationship (AOR) will be 

collected in person by resettlement 

agencies around the United States, 

which are organizations that work under 

cooperative agreements with the 

Department of State. Filing an AOR will 

provide a means for individuals who 

were admitted to the United States as 

refugees or who were granted asylum to 

claim a relationship with certain family 

members that would qualify them to 

apply for access to refugee processing 

under the Priority 3 category of the U.S. 

Refugee Admissions Program. In order 

to file an AOR, an individual will have 

to be at least 18 years of age and have 

been admitted to the United States as a 

refugee or granted asylum in the United 

States no more than five years prior to 

the filing of this AOR. 

The resettlement agencies will then 

forward the completed AORs to the 

Department of State’s Refugee 

Processing Center (RPC) for data entry 

and case processing. DHS/USCIS will 

conduct an initial review of the AOR, 

including a check against information 

on record from previous filings by the 

anchor relative. Those AORs that are 

cleared for onward processing are 

forwarded to the appropriate 

Department of State-funded Overseas 

Processing Entity (OPE) to conduct 

preliminary ‘‘prescreening’’ interviews 

of the claimed family members. After 

the preliminary interviews, the OPE will 

provide the anchor relative with 

instructions on procedures for arranging 

DNA testing of claimed biological 

parent-child relationships through a 

laboratory approved by the American 

Association of Blood Banks (AABB) to 

conduct DNA relationship testing. DNA 

samples from the claimed biological 

parents and/or children of the anchor 

relative will be collected by designated 

panel physicians overseas and returned 

to the AABB-approved lab selected by 

the anchor relative. The Department of 

State will not retain the DNA samples. 

Redacted results received from the lab, 

which will indicate only whether each 

tested relationship was confirmed or not 

confirmed will be retained. The Privacy 

Impact Assessment for this collection 

will be posted on the Department of 

State website.
