U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Website Gets a Facelift

President Obama’s administration launched the new design for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services’ website last week. The new site looks crisper, cleaner and very green. The redesign is aimed to produce a greater level of transparency between the government agency and the public. For example, visa applicants can now get updates on their cases via text message, e-mail and online. The newest aspect of the website is the “where to start” drop down box on the upper left hand corner of the site. It is aimed to be more user-friendly and offers customers an easier way to find the services they require. Hopefully, this will create a trend in reformations and we will see progress towards comprehensive immigration reform in the near future.
