Immigration Benefits Business Transformation, Increment I

AGENCY: U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, DHS.

ACTION: Final rule; request for comments.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is amending its
regulations to enable U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
to migrate from a paper file-based, non-integrated systems environment
to an electronic customer-focused, centralized case management
environment for benefit processing. This transformation process will
allow USCIS to streamline benefit processing, eliminate the capture and
processing of redundant data, and reduce the number of and automate its
forms. This transformation process will be a phased multi-year
initiative to restructure USCIS business processes and related
information technology systems. DHS is removing references to form
numbers, form titles, expired regulatory provisions, and descriptions
of internal procedures, many of which will change during
transformation. DHS is also finalizing interim rules that permitted
submission of benefit requests with an electronic signature when such
requests are submitted in an electronic format rather than on a paper
form and that removed references to filing locations for immigration
benefits. In addition, in this rule DHS is publishing the final rule
for six other interim rules published during the past several years,
most of which received no public comments.

DATES: Effective date: This rule is effective November 28, 2011.
    Comment date: Written comments must be submitted on or before
October 28, 2011.
