USCIS Records Digitization Facility
State-of-the-Art Williamsburg, KY Facility to Enhance National Security Efforts
Williamsburg, KY- U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) celebrated the opening of a new, state-of-the-art Records Digitization Facility (RDF) today in Williamsburg, Kentucky. During the ceremony, USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez unveiled the agency’s multi-year plan to digitize paper immigration files, and explained the agency’s use of this type of modern data management platform to enhance national security.
“By moving from a paper-based system to an electronic platform, we will enhance security, improve efficiency and be able to better handle any future immigration reform,” Director Gonzalez remarked. “This important first step to digitize one-million paper records during the next five years will make it easier for our officers to detect and deter fraud and protect the integrity of our national immigration system.”
With this facility, USCIS positions itself at the forefront of national security as a world-class immigration organization for the 21st century. The file digitization program is an integral part of ongoing USCIS efforts to transform its business practices. The Williamsburg facility will digitize millions of paper records and applications for immigration benefits and make them instantly available to the various federal agencies that need to access those records around the world. The digitized A-files (permanent alien immigration files) will be made available to multiple users without the time-consuming and costly shipping of paper files. The ready availability of files will improve customer service and support the integrity of immigration applications.
