DHS/CBP/PIA-072 Unified Immigration Portal (UIP)

The U.S. immigration system is complex, involving multiple federal government stakeholders, processes, and information technology systems. This complexity creates challenges between agencies involved in the immigration process that need to share and receive comprehensive, consistent, and timely information required to make impactful and mission-critical decisions. The U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Unified Immigration Portal (UIP) provides agencies involved in the immigration process a means to view and access certain information from each of the respective agencies from a single portal in near real time. CBP is publishing this Privacy Impact Assessment (PIA) to provide notice of implementation of the UIP and assess the privacy risks and mitigations for the UIP. In October 2023, the appendices were updated to reflect further collaboration with other agencies, including the Department of Justice. October 2023
