CIS is responsible for several functions transferred from the former Immigration Services Division of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) under the Department of Justice. CIS's functions include adjudicating and processing applications for U.S. citizenship and naturalization, administering work authorizations and other petitions, and providing services for new residents and citizens. CIS collects fees from applicants to process the various immigrationrelated applications and petitions. CIS also receives appropriated funds to pay for administrative and overhead costs such as records management and backlog reduction. HSA requires that we report on whether CIS is likely to derive sufficient funds from fees to carry out its functions in the absence of appropriated funds. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-309R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-309R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-309R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-309R.pdf GAO-04-309R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-04-309R Correspondence GAO-04-309R; Immigration Application Fees: Current Fees Are Not Sufficient to Fund U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' Operations; Fees Financial management Funds management Immigration information systems Immigration or emigration Strategic planning Federal agency reorganization Reporting requirements Appropriated funds Volume 102 Page 2203 102 Stat. 2203 Volume 104 Page 2121 104 Stat. 2121 Volume 112 Page 2681-651 Volume 112 Page 2681-652 112 Stat. 2681-651 112 Stat. 2681-652 Volume 114 Page 1247 114 Stat. 1247 Volume 116 Page 2195 Volume 116 Page 2201 Volume 116 Page 2210 116 Stat. 2195 116 Stat. 2201 116 Stat. 2210 Volume 117 Page 532 117 Stat. 532
