US CIS

Posted on January 14, 2004 by under Web.    

What do Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS), Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS) and US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) all have in common?  They’re the same damn thing!  It seems that US Immigration has gone the way of the illegal immigrant (moving from one address to another and changing their name as they go).

Over the last year the web address of this agency has changed from www.ins.gov to www.bcis.gov to www.uscis.gov — sounds crazy but I have proof!  The Wayback Machine at Internet Archive has a record of every single website that pops up on the web.  In fact, they even have my very first domain (chingay.com) listed.

But I digress..  What in the world is going on with the US Citizenship and Immigration Service (as they are now known)?  Why have they gone TNT (tago nang tago) on me?  I hope they stay at this last web address for a while because they sure are hard to find these days.
