Title: Immigration Benefits Business Transformation, Increment I 
Abstract: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is beginning a phased multi-year business transformation initiative to restructure its business processes and related information technology systems. This will enable USCIS to migrate from a paper forms-based, non-integrated systems environment to an electronic, customer-focused, centralized case management environment for benefit processing. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is amending its regulations to streamline benefit processing, eliminate the capture and processing of redundant data, and automate and reduce the number of its forms.
