What Happened to BCIS???

[keelec]

I thought the BCIS office was new?????

 

In January I filed my application at the INS office (Immigration and Naturalization Services).

 

Sometime around March, this office disappeared and was replaced by BCIS (Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services).

 

Now I just tried to log in (after Nov 1), and discovered it now had a new name: USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services).

 

Are these "Fly By Night" offices??????

 

Perhaps that is the reason everything is taking so long.

Consider the resources expended in thinking up a new name every few months..... Then changing all of the letterhead............ Then rebuilding the websites....... Then informing everyone of the change..........

 

I am sure there wouldn't be any time left to actually read a few applications.

I think USCIS is in fact BCIS. "Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services".

They only changed the name, not the office.

The names were changed to protect the innocent.

Clifford,

 

This is the link BCIS Online Case Status I use to check the status of my case. I've used this same link before and after November 1 and all appears to be the same. Still BCIS.

Interesting......

 

Try the link:

 

http://www.bcis.gov

 

it redirects you to:

 

http://uscis.gov/

 

While the case status page looks the same, main page looks very different.

Interesting. New news to me! The BCIS name became effective March 1, just over 8 months ago. Maybe somebody else can shed some light on this.
