WelcometoUSA.gov is the primary gateway for new immigrants to find basic information on how to settle in the United States. The website seeks to improve access to Federal Government information on the Internet by consolidating information into helpful categories and highlight new resources available to immigrants and the organizations that serve them.
WelcometoUSA.gov is an initiative of the Task Force on New Americans, a federal inter-agency partnership established by President George W. Bush on June 7, 2006. The Task Force seeks to strengthen and coordinate federal efforts and resources to help immigrants embrace American civic culture, learn English, and fully become American. The Task Force includes 12 cabinet-level departments and eight additional federal agencies.
Objectives
The goal of this effort is to support the mission of the Task Force on New Americans by designing a user-friendly, informative website for immigrants and the organizations that serve them. The primary objectives will be:
To increase awareness of Federal Government resources available to immigrants
To increase volunteerism among immigrants and native-born Americans
To provide current information regarding the activities of the Task Force on New Americans
