IMMIGRATION AND HIV
By Linda Tam1
INTRODUCTION
The Immigration and Naturalization Service’s Transition to the Department of
Homeland Security.
The Homeland Security Act of 2002 abolished the Immigration and Naturalization
Service (INS) and created the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March
1, 2003. 2 Within the DHS, three bureaus were created to take over the same functions:
U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), U.S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE), and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP). USCIS administers
immigration benefits and services.3 These services include processing family-sponsored
and employment-based petitions, naturalization applications, and asylum and refugee
cases.4 ICE enforces immigration laws, customs laws and protects over 8,000 federally
owned and leased buildings within the United States and its territories.5 CBP enforces
immigration and customs laws at and between the ports of entry into the United States.6
Despite the name change, USCIS maintains all familiar immigration customer
services.7 Forms using the INS logo are still accepted.8 Applications sent to the INS will
be received and processed the same way as before March 1, 2003.9 Previous applications
before March 1, 2003 as well as INS issued documents are still valid.10 USCIS uses the
same locations and offices that were part of the INS.11 Immigration information and
applications can be found at the government’s official website http://www.uscis.gov or at
the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.
