(4) Affected public who will be asked

abstract: Primary: Federal Government;

In the verification process, a
participating agency validates an
applicant’s immigration status by
inputting identifying information into
the Verification Information System
(VIS), which executes immigration
status queries against a range of data
sources. If VIS returns an immigration
status and the benefit-issuing agency
does not find a material discrepancy
with the response and the documents
provided by the applicant, the
verification process is complete. Then,
the agency may use that immigration
status information to determine whether
to issue the benefit.
If VIS does not locate a record
pertaining to the applicant during an
electronic initial verification, a second
step additional verification must be
requested by the agency, so that a Status
Verifier can manually check the records.
If the Status Verifier cannot determine
status during the second step additional
verification, they will request the
agency to submit a copy of the
applicant’s immigration document. The
immigration document can be submitted
using scan and upload or by attaching
it to a Form G–845 and mailing it to the
Status Verifier.
Applicants may check on the
processing of additional verification
through the SAVE Case Check web
portal, hound at https://www.uscis.gov/
save/save-case-check. SAVE Case Check
permits applicants to use the SAVE
verification numbers associated with
their benefit applications or the
immigration identification numbers and
dates of birth provided to those benefit
granting agencies to access this
information.

benefit determinations. These forms
