In 1906 the Immigration and Naturalization Service (now United States Citizenship and Immigration Services [USCIS]) was created, forms were standardized, and duplicate records were created by the court and sent to the USCIS. Some of these records may be indexed, and filmed (see the availability section below)&nbsp;but most must be accessed by using the [http://www.uscis.gov/ Genealogy Program] at the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. For more information see the &nbsp;[[United States Naturalization and Citizenship|United States Naturalization]] wiki page.
