State Department: Agency and Services

state department: There are about 70 employees in Great Britain, Mexico, South Africa, Italy, India, the Philippines, China and other countries, according to CTV. Collins says the agency will work closely with the State Department to avoid any interruptions to services overseas. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokeswoman Jessica Collins said Tuesday that the agency is in preliminary discussions to close offices in 20 countries outside the United States. Organizations including Amnesty International and Human Rights First criticized the move saying that closing international offices would mean fewer services for refugees. The agency says refugee processing won't be affected. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
