Can USCIS contact organizations that have cited me to confirm information?

The immigration process to the United States, especially involving visas such as the EB-2 NIW, requires that the information presented be accurate and verifiable. With that in mind, it is natural to have questions about how USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) conducts data verification, including whether it contacts organizations that have cited you. It is possible that USCIS seeks to confirm information by contacting organizations, institutions, or professionals mentioned in your petition. In some cases, the auditor or immigration officer may call, send an email, or request additional documents from these entities to verify the authenticity of recommendation letters, publications, or collaborations you have cited.

This practice is part of the standard procedure to ensure that all provided data is in accordance with reality and to assess whether the EB-2 NIW criteria are met. Therefore, it is crucial that all references and information included in your application are accurate and documented. We always recommend meticulous verification of each content and the maintenance of updated records of contacts and communications with the organizations in question.

Remember that strict compliance with immigration laws and regulations is essential in the process. If doubts arise or if you need more specific guidance on how to proceed, it is always wise to seek support from professionals specialized in immigration. Be cautious of marketing campaigns or promises of easy results that may compromise the quality of your application and contradict established rules.

Commitment to the truthfulness of information and adherence to United States immigration laws remains the best way to avoid future complications during the review of your case.
