Explanation:
It was a subdivision of the IND. I used to be in regular contact with the ICD in my role as a "project worker" for an NGO that provided assistance to asylum-seekers.

Here, "casework" refers to the processing of immigration, citizenship and asylum applications. Interviews were a part of the process for some types of application - for instance, they conducted interviews with asylum applicants in Croydon and Liverpool. They were also responsible for taking decisions on cases (applications) and issuing them to applicants. I don't know if they still exist because the IND was revamped a few years ago, so I suspect ICD may have been rebranded too. "Integrated" refers to the fact that they dealt with several different types of applications - visas, asylum and citizenship.

I'm sure you can come up with a better translation than I can, but as a tentative suggestion, maybe something along the lines of "Direcţia instrumentare dosare imigrări/azil"? Anyway, I'll leave that to your judgement!

Here's one (rather old) reference to them:

Baroness Gould of Potternewton asked Her Majesty's Government:

What plans they have to change the procedures for dealing with applications for British citizenship.[HL1513]

Lord Bassam of Brighton: During April 2001, the Integrated Casework Directorate (ICD) of the Immigration and Nationality Directorate (IND) will devote some of its resources to starting applications for British citizenship on receipt. All cases, at both ends of the queue for consideration, will be considered using new procedures and working practices. New applicants will be asked to supply supporting documentation at the time of application and to respond more quickly to requests for further information than has previously been the case. The aim of these changes is to eliminate the current backlog of nationality applications by attacking it from both ends. This approach has been successfully used elsewhere in IND--for example, in the production of travel documents.
