[Rob C 2]

Guys,

This just made me chuckle!....

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is the government agency that oversees lawful immigration to the United States.

Mission Statement

USCIS will secure America’s promise as a nation of immigrants by providing accurate and useful information to our customers, granting immigration and citizenship benefits, promoting an awareness and understanding of citizenship, and ensuring the integrity of our immigration system.

We are the 18,000 government employees and contractors of USCIS working at 250 offices across the world. Achieving our goals becomes possible when the different elements of our organization are engaged and acting as partners working toward a common outcome. USCIS’ strategic goals include:

Strengthening the security and integrity of the immigration system.

Providing effective customer-oriented immigration benefit and information services.

Supporting immigrants’ integration and participation in American civic culture.

Promoting flexible and sound immigration policies and programs.

Strengthening the infrastructure supporting the USCIS mission.

Wow, that is kind of funny! I can laugh now that I have my visa and have entered the USA as an immigrant...but a few months ago I might have beat myself around the head after reading this!

wei ! These are GOALS .

It's nice to list them, but they are still busy attempting to achieve them.

I say give them 29 more years, before they reach all of their goals.

yes, I said 29. Twenty-Nine.

oh - pardon - I do hope 'Holistic Vigilance' means each employee is carrying a taser when on the job.
