Immigration & Border Control
On March 1, 2003, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officially assumed responsibility for immigration services and border control functions of the Federal government.

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services handles immigration services, focusing on the administration of applications. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Customs and Border Protection, handle immigration enforcement and border security functions. Other agencies with responsibilities related to visas and the legal status of immigrants, such as the Departments of Justice, State, and Labor are included in this search.
