The USCIS Accounts Public (AP) program enables users to create and manage their digital identity using myAccount to authenticate themselves to multiple USCIS websites. myAccount processes over 100,000 unique user logins per day and is currently adding three million new users per year. CTG has been actively involved in this effort since its inception in 2014 and continues to drive its evolution.
