DHS/USCIS/PIA-003 - Integrated Digitization Document Management Program

USCIS's Integrated Digitization Document Management Program (IDDMP) digitizes paper-based immigration files (e.g., Alien Files (A-Files) and Receipt Files) and stores them in the Enterprise Document Management System (EDMS) for mission-related uses. EDMS enables USCIS to share immigration files more efficiently within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and with external agencies. USCIS is updating this PIA to: 1) discuss a new USCIS and Department of State (DoS) interface for transferring electronic A-File records to EDMS using the Immigrant Visa Content Service (IVCS); 2) the designation of IVCS as a backup contingency for viewing N-400 Receipt Files processed using USCIS Electronic Immigration System (USCIS ELIS) and 3) the designation of IVCS as the electronic repository for the new Form I-131A adjudicated at international USCIS posts.
