INS
Transitions to Department of Homeland Security
On March 1, 2003, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) transitioned
into the Department
of Homeland Security.
For services and benefits, such as citizenship, asylum, and refugee services,
visit U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS).
For enforcement activities, such as illegal alien detention and removal,
immigration intelligence and investigations programs, go to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
For the U.S. Border Patrol and immigration border inspections programs,
visit U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
Statistics on immigration are maintained by the Office of Immigration Statistics.
Much of the former INS services and benefits information can be found
at the USCIS website at http://uscis.gov/,
including the I-9
Form, Employment Eligibility Verification. Please update any bookmarks
you may have to the former Immigration and Naturalization Service.
