Three Types of Site Visits

By Robert Kraft

The Chief of Staff of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service's (USCIS) Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS) office explained three different types of site visits being conducted by USCIS.
 

• Risk Assessment Program Fraud Study: program is part of a study to help design profiles of potential fraud. Family-based petitions or employment-based petitions once approved are randomly selected. 

• Targeted Site Visits: this visit is to ask questions when fraud is suspected. Advance notice of visit is given. 

• Administrative Site Visits: for religious worker and H-1B programs. Specific questions generally regarding the beneficiary's job duties as stated in the petition and whether the beneficiary is receiving the wage as stated on the petition.

 
More information on the site visits is available at www.uscis.gov.
