What Is the Role of USCIS?
The DHS United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) oversees the citizenship and immigration processes of the United States government. The USCIS operates through USCIS domestic field offices located both within and outside the United States, as well as through online customer care and phone service. The United States Customs and Immigration Services website has an office locator to help you find the correct field office.
If you’re seeking immigration rights, you must complete and submit paperwork to the USCIS. Typically, you will visit the USCIS field office nearest your location for your scheduled appointment or interview. However, immigration paperwork and procedures can be tedious and strenuous.
