Federal Agencies and Official Immigration Portals

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)

This is the main source for most U.S.-based immigration applications. USCIS.gov provides the official forms, instructions, required evidence lists, filing fees, and policy guidance needed when submitting an application. Most applicants who apply for benefits while already inside the U.S. (such as Adjustment of Status, TPS, DACA, work permits, or naturalization) will use this website as their primary reference.
