USCIS "old" website still available (all pages) until Nov 30 2006

If you are trying to access old links or pages at www.uscis.gov for the time being you can still reach the old webserver and website directly. Simply replace the "uscis.gov" portion of the link with the following IP address: 149.101.23.2

For example the main website: http://www.uscis.gov is now http://149.101.23.2

or for the following old link:

http://uscis.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/cal...nia/aboutus.htm

you can still reach it at:

http://149.101.23.2/graphics/fieldoffices/...nia/aboutus.htm

So if you need a quick dirty way to access old links or catpure information before it goes offline this method will work. The site is completely navigatible as well. If you pass this along please link back to this article (as we were the first to discover this I think).

If you are wondering the IP above is owned by the Dept of Justice (US Government) so this is the real old site and not a fake. They simply redirected the www.uscis.gov domain name to the new server (however still allowing you to access the old server!).

Still amazes me that they think the new site is better. The new site almost makes me think they are trying to make stuff harder to find, not easier.

At least there are two weeks to save some info from there now .

How did you discover they old site was still up?

Google is your friend . Was searching for info on the old site (cached) and saw a link with the above IP. Once I realized it could access the site directly (old site) then it just made sense what happened. They also noted that on the front page (that it will be up until Nov 30).

Nice work Capt'n

I'm off to save info

The only problem I can see about saving stuff without having the link to the original information is that how you know if the info becomes outdated.
