What these labels mean
- MOU active
- An MOU is the agreement between an employer and the SkillBridge program. When it expires, the employer has to renew it before it can take new service members.
- MOU expires soon
- The agreement ends within 90 days. That is not a reason to rule a program out. It is a reason to ask the employer where the renewal stands.
- MOU expired
- The date on the government listing has passed. We still show the program, because hiding it would shrink this directory in a way we could not explain. Confirm status with the employer before you apply.
- MOU date not stated
- The government listing carries no expiration date for this organization.
- Detailed listing
- The employer filled in most of its record: length, delivery method, eligibility, and a description of the work.
- Partial listing
- Some of those fields are filled in and some are blank.
- Sparse listing
- Very little of the record is filled in. That is common, and it is not a judgment about the program or the employer. It does mean you will have to ask them more questions directly.
Dates come from the government SkillBridge export. We do not screen, rank, or endorse organizations, and we take nothing from them.

About Department of Homeland Security (DHS) - United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS)
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is a component of the Department of Homeland Security responsible for administering lawful immigration to the United States and maintaining the integrity of the immigration system. The agency processes immigration petitions, applications, and related forms across a range of benefit categories including family-based immigration, employment authorization, asylum, naturalization, and green card adjudication. USCIS field offices carry out much of this work through direct interaction with applicants and petitioners.
SkillBridge interns at USCIS work in the Immigration Services Assistant (Office Automation) role or as a Program Specialist (Status Verification Analyst), depending on placement. Internships run between 91 and 150 days and are conducted in person. The program spans 16 locations across 13 states and territories: Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Guam, Hawaii, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Maryland, Oregon, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington.
Day-to-day work in the Immigration Services Assistant track involves clerical and administrative support within a Field Office under the Field Operations Directorate. Interns assist Immigration Services Officers with adjudication support, manage files and databases, conduct data entry across immigration systems, initiate security background checks, process incoming and outgoing mail, schedule applicants for interviews and naturalization ceremonies, and verify and print naturalization certificates. The Status Verification Analyst track focuses on adjudicating time-sensitive referrals and providing immigration status and employment eligibility determinations for customers in the SAVE and E-Verify programs, in accordance with DHS policy and immigration law.
