"U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) makes decisions on benefit and service requests that not only affect foreign nationals and their future, but also the well-being of U.S. citizens, families, organizations, businesses, industries, localities, states, the nation, and international communities.  Accordingly, USCIS strives to secure America’s promise as a nation of immigrants by providing accurate and useful information to customers, promoting awareness and understanding of citizenship rights and responsibilities, and making adjudication decisions in a consistent and accurate manner that furthers the goals and integrity of our nation’s immigration system. Our policies drive our benefit and services decisions and ensure that our guidance to USCIS officers who make those decisions reflects our agency’s mission, and strategic vision. These policies also greatly affect our interaction with USCIS’s diverse customer and stakeholder community."
