The Office of Immigration Statistics (OIS) develops, analyzes, and disseminates statistical information needed to inform policy and assess the effects of immigration in the United States. Our goal is to provide high-quality statistical information that is relevant, timely, cost-effective, and customer-oriented.

In alignment with this mission, OIS has four core strategic goals:

• Strategic Goal 1: Lead the development of relevant, customer-oriented statistical information on immigration.
• Strategic Goal 2: Improve the quality and common understanding of immigration statistical data.
• Strategic Goal 3: Disseminate high quality, user-friendly statistical immigration information to customers and stakeholders in a timely manner.
• Enabling Goal 4: Maintain a high quality, motivated workforce and provide the environment to support them.
