U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced Friday it will immediately begin accepting the gender identity of foreign nationals requesting immigration benefits even if they do not match the gender marker on their supporting documents.
The agency, which is part of the Department of Homeland Security and deals primarily with lawful immigration in the U.S., said it is updating its policy manual to clarify that "USCIS will accept the self-identified gender marker for individuals requesting immigration benefits."
"The gender marker they select does not need to match the gender marker indicated on their supporting documentation," according to the USCIS announcement March 31, which the White House designated "Trans Day of Visibility."
