US Immigration Institutes

There are many US Immigration Institutes which handle the multiple tasks to do with US immigration.  Here the main agencies you need to know about if you want to immigrate in the United States.

The most important US immigration agencies

Department of Homeland Security (DHS) — Within this agency are the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) — Usually the first part of the immigration application process, because the U.S.-based family member or company often must file a visa petition with USCIS to start the process so the immigrant can receive a green card.

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) — This agency patrols the U.S. borders and meets with people who request entry. CBP will check all of your paperwork when you arrive including your visa.

There are more you should be aware of

Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) — This agency acts as DHS’s right hand, conducting raids, checking prisons for detainees who require deportation, placing undocumented or deport-able foreign nationals under arrest, handling removals, etc.

U.S. Department of State (DOS) — The DOS acts through U.S. embassies and consulates globally. Practically all foreign nationals who wish to come to the U.S. for a temporary or permanent stay must visit a U.S. consulate first, to undergo a personal interview.  Even if you are presently already in the U.S., it’s still possible that you might have to travel to a consulate in order to complete your application for a visa.

National Visa Center (NVC) — A private company contracted by the DOS to deal with case files during certain intermediate parts of the process of applying for a green card.

U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) — When a visa or green card application is based on a job with a U.S. employer, a labor certification application may need to be filed with the DOL who will rule on it.
