Committed to the safe reunification of families

President Biden created the Family Reunification Task Force to identify and reunite certain families who were separated by the United States (U.S.) government between January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2021. The Family Reunification Task Force has established a process to bring certain family members back to the United States to reunite with each other and receive support services.

Do you qualify?

If you are a parent, legal guardian, or child who was separated by the U.S. government at the U.S.-Mexico border between January 20, 2017 and January 20, 2021, you may qualify to begin the reunification process and receive support services. Parents and children who were previously reunited also qualify for these support services. U.S. citizen children who were separated may also qualify for this reunification process.

The International Organization for Migration will help all qualified families with this process. The International Organization for Migration is a trusted partner of the U.S. government who helps ensure humane migration.

What to expect next

After you’ve registered, the Family Reunification Task Force will determine whether you qualify to file an application with Task Force support, through the International Organization for Migration.
