President Submits 2009 Funding Request

President Bush has requested a budget of $2.7 billion for USCIS for fiscal year 2009. The majority of USCIS’s budget will be funded by fees; the largest fee source is the immigration examinations fee account, which includes fees collected for immigration applications and petitions.

A large portion of the funding will be used to improve service delivery and to modernize the agency’s business infrastructure. In addition, the budget includes funds to support a proposed expansion of USCIS's workforce - the agency hopes to hire more than 1,000 new temporary and permanent application adjudicators in 2008.

The E-Verify Programme, USCIS’s online system for verifying employment authorization status, is due to receive $100 million. USCIS has stated that a further $50 million will be used to “develop an electronic information-sharing and verification hub capability” to help states to comply with the REAL ID Act, which will require states to have the capacity to verify document information rapidly against federal and state databases.
