As proposed by the USCIS, in the future most processing will be done digitally in an effort to streamline and improve the current paper process done today. Potential applicants would create “accounts” with the USCIS, much as a person would create an account at a bank. They would then interface with the USCIS in “transactions” beginning with creating a profile and submitting various required information.

The USCIS would then be able to process that information faster using both automated and manual methods. Since the case would be digital there would no longer be delays due to transferring paper files between offices. Background checks and other adjudication requirements would be built into the system and allow adjudications officers to complete multiple checks and required steps on a file easily and with very little delay. This integrated solution would also keep the customer (applicant) in the loop and allow for Requests for Additional Evidence (RFEs) to be sent digitally and for responses to be entered by the applicant faster.

Ultimately the USCIS would benefit in cost and cycle time reduction on case processing. Security would also be increased by allowing greater interaction with other government agencies when performing security checks. Adjudications officers would have needed information immediately and not have to request that information manually, which currently often results in both time delays and incomplete data being returned. From an applicant’s perspective the reduced cycle time would be a tremendous advantage (especially for family-based immigration).
