You will then purchase a Money Order to the order of His House Children’s Home.
Please note:

I, potential sponsor of minor (s) have read and understood the information provided in this document. Signature: Date: / / Family Reunification Packet
Dear Potential Sponsor:
Thank you for your interest in applying for the release of a child from the custody of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to your care. The child is in our custody because they are unaccompanied and do not have lawful immigration status. ORR is not a law enforcement agency. Our priority is to care for the child while working to safely and promptly release the child to a responsible adult, typically a family member.
A Case Manager is assigned to assist you and your family with the release process. Please contact your Case Manager for assistance with completing the Family Reunification Application and providing or obtaining required supporting documentation.
We look forward to assisting you with your application. Sincerely,
Laura Kiesler, Acting Director

Sponsor Care Agreement
You have applied to the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) to sponsor an unaccompanied child in the care and custody of the Federal Government pursuant to 6 U.S.C. §279 and 8 U.S.C. §1232. If your sponsorship application is approved, you will receive an ORR Verification of Release form and enter into a custodial arrangement with the Federal Government in which you agree to comply with the following provisions while the minor is in your care:
• Provide for the physical and mental well-being of the minor, including but not limited to, food, shelter, clothing, education, medical care and other services as needed.
• If you are not the minor’s parent or legal guardian, make best efforts to establish legal guardianship with your local court within a reasonable time.
• Attend a legal orientation program provided under the Department of Justice/Executive Office for Immigration Review (EOIR)’s Legal Orientation Program for Custodians (Sponsors), if available where you reside.
• Depending on where the minor’s immigration case is pending, notify the local Immigration Court or the Board of Immigration Appeals within five (5) days of any change of address or phone number of the minor, by using an Alien’s Change of Address form (Form EOIR- 33). In addition, if necessary, file a Change of Venue motion on the minor’s behalf. The Change of Venue motion must contain information specified by the Immigration Court. Please note that a Change of Venue motion may require the assistance of an attorney. For guidance on the
“motion to change venue,” see the Immigration Court Practice Manual at https://www.justice.gov/eoir/eoir-policy-manual/part-ii-ocij-practice-manual. For immigration case information, please contact EOIR’s immigration case information system at 1-800-898- 7180. Visit EOIR’s website for additional information at http://www.justice.gov/eoir/formslist.htm.
• Notify the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)/U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services) within ten (10) days of any change of address, by filing an Alien’s Change of Address Card (AR- 11) or electronically, at https://www.uscis.gov/sites/default/files/document/forms/ar-11.pdf.
• Ensure the minor’s presence at all future proceedings before the DHS/Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the DOJ/EOIR. For immigration case information, contact EOIR’s case information system at 1-800-***-****.
Sponsor Care Agreement
Office of Refugee Resettlement
• Ensure the minor reports to ICE for removal from the United States if an immigration judge issues a removal order or voluntary departure order. The minor is assigned to a Deportation Officer for removal proceedings.
• Notify local law enforcement or your state or local Child Protective Services if the minor has been or is at risk of being subjected to abuse, abandonment, neglect, or maltreatment or if you learn that the minor has been threatened, has been sexually or physically abused or assaulted, or has disappeared. Notice should be given as soon as it becomes practicable or no later than 24 hours after the event or after becoming aware of the risk or threat.
• Notify the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children at 1-800-***-**** if the minor disappears, has been kidnapped, or runs away. Notice should be given as soon as it becomes practicable or no later than 24 hours after learning of the minor’s disappearance.
• Notify ICE if the minor is contacted in any way by an individual(s) believed to represent an smuggling syndicate, organized crime, or a human trafficking organization. Provide notification as soon as possible or no later than 24 hours after becoming aware of this information. You can contact ICE at 1-866-***-****.
• In the case of an emergency (serious illness, destruction of home, etc.), you may temporarily transfer physical custody of the minor to another person who will comply with the terms of this Sponsor Care Agreement.
• If you are not the child's parent or legal guardian, in the event you are no longer able and willing to care for the minor and unable to temporarily transfer physical custody, and the minor meets the definition of an unaccompanied child, you should notify the ORR National Call Center at 1-800-***-**** or ***********@******.***.
• The release of the above-named minor from the Office of Refugee Resettlement to your care does not grant the minor any legal immigration status and the minor must present himself/herself for immigration court proceedings. Family Reunification Packet Version 13

UC Sexual Abuse Hotline (1-855-***-****)
Call the UC Sexual Abuse Hotline at 1-855-***-**** if you are an unaccompanied child, a family member, sponsor, legal service provider, child advocate or any other individual with knowledge or suspicion of sexual abuse or sexual harassment that is occurring or has occurred at a care provider operating on behalf of the Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), the Administration for Children and Families, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
Through its network of care providers, ORR cares for unaccompanied children who enter the United States without a parent or legal guardian and without lawful immigration status following their apprehension by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and referral to ORR.
ORR and its care providers serving unaccompanied children have a zero tolerance policy for sexual abuse and sexual harassment. Any person with knowledge or suspicion of sexual abuse or sexual harassment that is occurring or has occurred at a care provider facility should call the UC Sexual Abuse Hotline at 1-855-***-****.
The UC Sexual Abuse Hotline reports, as appropriate, any allegations received directly from any child or third party to State Child Protective Services (CPS), local law enforcement, and HHS. HHS forwards each Hotline report to the appropriate care provider, who ensures that all children and youth are safe and provided with appropriate services and that all required reports have been submitted.
The Hotline is connected to live representatives who are bilingual in English and Spanish and experienced in interviewing minors. Translators will be provided for all other languages. Individuals may report anonymously if desired.

What are the steps I need to take to get fingerprinted? 1. Read the Authorization for Release of Information carefully and complete the form. 2. Fax or email the Case Manager the completed Authorization for Release of Information and a copy of your photo ID. If you are unable to fax or email the documents, please send them by express or priority mail as soon as possible.
3. After submitting the Authorization for Release of Information, the Case Manager arranges a fingerprinting session for you or will give you the contact information of the designated digital fingerprint site to arrange your own appointment. If you are unable to travel to the designated digital fingerprint site, you must discuss with your Case Manager the option to provide two sets of paper fingerprint cards.
4. Attend your fingerprinting session at the scheduled time at the designated digital fingerprint site. Please note that ORR DOES NOT offer sponsor fingerprinting services at ORR's Headquarters. Fingerprinting services are available at designated digital fingerprint sites only. 5. Contact the Case Manager after you attend your fingerprinting session to let him or her know you have been fingerprinted. The Case Manager may have further instructions for you to follow to complete other aspects of your background check.
Do I need to pay a fee to be fingerprinted?
There is no fee if you are fingerprinted at a designated digital fingerprint site. If you are not fingerprinted at a designated digital fingerprint site, then there may be a fee. How do I review the results of my fingerprint background checks? You may review the results of the FBI fingerprint background checks by sending a request to the child's Case Manager. You may also contact the ORR National Call Center for assistance at 800-***-**** or email at ***********@******.***.
If the results of my fingerprint background check are wrong can I contest the findings? Yes. If a sponsor, adult household member, or adult caregiver identified in a sponsor care plan believes the FBI criminal background check results are incorrect, he or she may challenge the accuracy or completeness of the information. The sponsor or adult household member may contact the agency that contributed the information the sponsor believes is incorrect.

WARNING
PROTECT YOURSELF FROM CRIMINALS TARGETING
FAMILIES OF UNACCOMPANIED CHILDREN
There are criminals who target relatives of unaccompanied children entering the United States by demanding money from sponsors and/or family members, claiming the money will cover processing, reunification, and travel expenses needed to allow the children to be reunited with their families. Fees for Processing or Release
There are no fees associated with the processing or release of an unaccompanied child. You do not need to pay money. No one should contact you and ask you for money, your bank account number, your credit card number, or ask you to send payment or a money order to another person or account. Fees for Travel
You are responsible for the cost of your child’s transportation and, if the care provider is escorting the child, for the care provider’s transportation or airfare. If an airline escort is used, you are responsible for paying the airline’s unaccompanied minor service fee. Travel costs should only be paid directly to a company, usually the airline or the care provider facility. No one should ask you to pay travel costs to an individual or to a personal account. THESE ARE ILLEGAL ATTEMPTS TO STEAL YOUR MONEY. IF YOU ARE CONTACTED AND ASKED FOR FEES, OR ASKED TO PAY OR WIRE MONEY, PLEASE IMMEDIATELY CALL THE ORR NATIONAL CALL CENTER HELP LINE. ORR National Call Center 800-***-****
Anyone who is requested to make payment for fees or expenses related to the processing, reunification, or travel of unaccompanied children should view such a request with extreme caution and follow these best practices, as recommended by the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI):
• Be skeptical of individuals representing themselves as officials and asking for payments or donations door-to-door, via phone, mail, e-mail, or social networking sites.
• Be skeptical of individuals requesting payment or contributions by courier or wire, or those who request your bank account or credit card number.
• Verify the legitimacy of the government agency or non-profit organization by utilizing various Internet-based resources which may confirm the correct phone number, e-mail, and/or the group’s existence and its non-profit status rather than following a link to an e-mailed site.
• Call the official telephone number of the government agency seeking money to ensure the request for payment is legitimate.
• Do not respond to any unsolicited (spam) incoming e-mails. Do not click links contained within those messages.
• Be cautious of e-mails that claim to show pictures of intended recipients in attached files which may contain viruses. Only open attachments from known senders.
• Make contributions directly to known organizations rather than having others make the donation on your behalf to ensure contributions are received and used for intended purposes.
• Do not give your personal or financial information to anyone who seeks payment or solicits contributions. Providing such information may compromise your identity and make you vulnerable to identity theft. Family Reunification Packet Version 13
