Welcome to the Immigration Services and Benefits Home Page. This Home Page provides information on the services provided by the INS to applicants, petitioners, authorized representatives, community-based organizations, and the general public.

Included among the immigration benefits the INS oversees are: citizenship, asylum, lawful permanent residency, employment authorization, refugee status, inter-country adoptions, replacement immigration documents, family and employment related immigration, and foreign student authorization.

In addition to administering the programs that provide these benefits, we also work to answer questions and find solutions to problems brought to our attention by the public, special interest groups, other government agencies, and the U.S. Congress regarding immigration concerns. (You can read issues of the ISD-CBO Update which summarizes meetings between the Immigration Services Division and Community Based Organizations.)

For more information about particular benefits and services that we provide, please click on the appropriate topic or button.

For links to information on types and availability of immigrant and nonimmigrant visas to the United States, please see our Immigration Classifications and Visa Categories page.

Thank you for visiting the Immigration Services and Benefits Home Page.
