                    [Summary] => On Thursday, March 6, 2003, Regine Velasquez safely entered the U.S. for her up-coming five-city concert tour with Martin Nievera. However, another Filipina entertainer, who apparently attempted to enter a few weeks earlier, was sent back to the Phi-lippines by INS (BCBP). Her crime? She attempted to enter the U.S. on a visitor’s visa in order to perform at a concert. The INS somehow found out about the concert, and asked her, at the airport, if she was intending to perform, which she denied. That constituted fraud.

                    [Summary] => As of March 1, 2003, the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) will cease to exist.

These new agencies will not only take over various functions of INS, but will also include or combine functions of various other governmental agencies.  


The new agencies replacing INS are:


1. Bureau of Citizenship and Immigration Services (BCIS).
