Title: Removing References to Filing Locations and Obsolete References to Legacy Immigration and Naturalization Service | |
Abstract: This rule will amend the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations ServicesÂ’ (USCIS) regulations to: (1) Remove the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) organizational structure from regulations since INS no longer exists; and (2) eliminate from USCIS regulations all references to filing locations so that USCIS may provide such information on petition and application forms and through any other means. This rule will eliminate confusion and obsolete references from USCIS regulations and help the public determine where to file forms with USCIS. It will also result in a more efficient and streamlined process for USCIS to make future changes to filing instructions, allowing the Agency to better manage its workload. | |
