The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) is a program established by USCIS that provides a process to verify the immigration status of aliens who apply for benefits. The documents provided by an alien applicant as verification of immigration status must be authenticated by using SAVE.
Staff will institute primary verification to USCIS through the form "Record of Contact with ASVI Data Base" (SAVE-1). ASVI is the acronym for Alien Status Verification Index. A clear copy of the immigration document must be attached to the SAVE-1 form. If the response verifies alien status, the eligibility determination is completed using the information provided by USCIS.
If the response states institute secondary verification, staff will complete Form G-845 and attach a copy of the immigration document.
An alien registration number is required for both primary and secondary verifications. If the applicant provides an alien registration number but does not have the immigration document, complete Form G-845 including the alien registration number. If an applicant provides a receipt indicating that he or she has applied to USCIS for a replacement document, complete Form G-845 and attach a copy of the receipt.
