International Affairs

Overview

There are many facets to the government’s handling of international affairs, beginning with immigration.

The Secretary of State, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of International Affairs are just a few of the government agencies where you can find current immigration policies.

Some of these policies include green card processing, which is handled by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This department provides every detail for every green card situation, including eligibility, adjustment of status, travel documents, concurrent filing, immigration medical examinations and work authorization.

The USCIS also offers information for different visa scenarios, ranging from changing nonimmigrant status and applying for a fiancé visa to revoked petitions and priority dates. The agency also explains how to apply for citizenship, providing forms to file, fee information and where to find a USCIS field office. And it also has manuals on how to apply for asylum.

The Department of State provides updated information on foreign consular offices locations within the United States. Contact information includes names, physical addresses, phone numbers and sometimes fax numbers.

And visitors, before arriving to the U.S. can also find information on currency exchange at a number of government sites. This includes current rates, regulations and where to locate foreign exchange centers.
