Make Your Voice Heard - Make Genealogy Records More Accessible!

The US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is asking for comments about their services and programs.  This doesn't happen often, so take advantage of this call for comments to let them know what you think!  USCIS administers a Genealogy Program and also holds records that should be transferred to NARA--which would make them more accessible and less expensive for genealogists.  So what can you do to help?

Records, Not Revenue has put together all of the information at https://www.recordsnotrevenue.com/take-action/.  There are also comments starters to help you identify your care-abouts to help you craft your comments at https://www.recordsnotrevenue.com/comment-starters.  Make sure to cite the CFR citation given on that page in your comment to make it even more powerful.  The deadline to submit comments is May 19, so get your comments in quickly!

Comment away!
