DHS Agencies Change Names; "BCIS" is now "USCIS"

By Jennifer Hopkins September 9, 2003

Three divisions of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) -- the Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS), the Bureau of Customs and Border Protection (BCBP), and the Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (BICE) -- have, reportedly, dropped the word "Bureau" from their names. The new names of these entities are: USCIS, CBP, and ICE.

What are the practical implications for immigrants? Well, none that we know of at this moment. Filing fee checks made out to USCIS, BCIS, and DHS are all accepted. Even checks made out to "INS" are still currently being accepted. Also, the website for the agency is still http://www.bcis.gov.

We are updating our site to reflect these name changes.

More information will be posted as soon as it becomes available.
 
I saw that on murthy.com yesterday....somehow, the new name sounds better!

But "What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other word would smell as sweet."

In this case, it stinks! :D

It means that they'll again go through another "Reformation" of their system, which means more delay.
