CITIZENSHIP AND IMMIGRATION SERVICES

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) plays a central role in administering
the immigration system of the United States.

Administration of immigration benefits is the responsibility of U.S. Citizenship
and Immigration Services (USCIS).

In order to have a liaison between the public and DHS on immigration benefits
matters, Congress created the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman,
which operates independently from USCIS.
