USCIS Compliance Review and Monitoring

By signing this form, you have stated under penalty of perjury (28 U.S.C. section 1746) that all information and

documentation submitted with this form is true and correct. You have also authorized the release of any information

from your records that USCIS may need to determine eligibility for the benefit you are seeking and consented to USCIS'

verification of such information.

The Department of Homeland Security has the authority to verify any information you submit to establish eligibility for

the immigration benefit you are seeking at any time. USCIS' legal authority to verify this information is in 8 U.S.C.

sections 1103, 1155, 1184, and 8 CFR Parts 103, 204, 205, and 214. To ensure compliance with applicable laws and

authorities, USCIS may verify information before or after your case has been decided. Agency verification methods may

include, but are not limited to: review of public records and information; contact via written correspondence, the Internet,

facsimile, or other electronic transmission, or telephone; unannounced physical site inspections of residences and

locations of employment; and interviews. Information obtained through verification will be used to assess your

compliance with the laws and to determine your eligibility for the benefit sought.

Subject to the restrictions under 8 CFR 103.2(b) (16), you will be provided an opportunity to address any adverse or

derogatory information that may result from a USCIS compliance review, verification, or site visit after a formal decision

is made on your case or after the agency has initiated an adverse action which may result in revocation or termination of

an approval.
