Philipsburg:--- The Immigration and Naturalization department is in the process of officially inaugurating its new location and recognizing its newly appointed status of a brand new collectively functioning department.This new department called the Immigration and Naturalization Department previously co-existed in two separate departments namely; the Local Chief of Police Affairs department located at the Sun Color building and the Immigration department located at the Police Station. For years these two separate departments have been performing tasks which are adjacent and or directly related to each other, thus the idea to bring them together under one roof.
The minister's vision is basically to have these once separate departments function as one new and improved collective department. This will facilitate the entire immigration registration process by joining forces and tackling the forth coming issues, in a unified manner. Although, the new building has been opened and in operation for a few months, this inaugural ceremony was designed to officially recognize the start of this entirely new department, at a new location and the using an entirely new and up to date foreigner management system.
The inaugural ceremony is scheduled to take place on Tuesday June 15, 2010 at 5:30PM – 7:00PM, and the office located at A.T. Illidge rd #8. The office will be opened up to 11:00AM, thereafter will remain closed for the rest of the day. The general public is therefore kindly requested to take note of this announcement, as we do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
