The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is being recognized for making significant strides in improving public service delivery through a series of customer experience (CX) enhancements. The agency recognized the importance of providing a modern, user-friendly experience for customers navigating the immigration journey. This commitment led to the implementation of innovative self-service tools aimed at resolving common inquiries and improving accessibility.
Key achievements include:
-
Text Ahead Feature: Introduced to notify customers before contacting them, reducing missed calls and improving communication efficiency.
-
Online Change of Address Tool: Simplified the process of updating addresses across USCIS systems, significantly reducing manual requests and saving operational costs.
-
Appointment Web Form: Enabled customers to request and reschedule appointments online, reducing wait times and administrative burdens.
-
myProgress Tool: Provided personalized case status information, accessed over 250,000 times daily, enhancing transparency and reducing the need for phone inquiries.
-
Digital Transformation of H-1B Program: Digitized the entire lifecycle of H-1B applications, streamlining processes for stakeholders and improving collaboration.
These improvements have collectively enhanced efficiency, reduced customer frustrations, and provided a more consistent and responsive service experience. USCIS's dedication to customer-centric practices has not only met but exceeded expectations, setting a precedent for future advancements in public service delivery.
