US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) has signed a contract with CSC to conduct scanning, indexing and file management operations at a records digitisation facility. The new agreement has a one-year base period and a contract value of US $27 million.

USCIS is the government agency that oversees lawful immigration to the United States of America. The Agency establishes immigration services and policies.

Under the terms of the agreement, CSC will support USCIS by providing file maintenance activities and electronic access to various types of records, including receipt, temporary and account files, and imaged data that reside in various USCIS offices. The digitisation of these files, which are stored in the USCIS Enterprise Document Management System, allows USCIS and its customers to electronically access specific digitised A-Files for processing immigrant applications or investigations. The applications include immigrant requests for naturalisation or permanent status in the United States.

USCIS originally signed the contract over to Datatrac Information Systems Inc. in 2006 for a term of five years with an estimated contract value of $150 million. CSC acquired Datatrac in December 2006.
