Can USCIS call to confirm references?

When considering the O visa, intended for individuals with extraordinary ability in arts, sciences, education, business, or athletics, it is natural to have questions about USCIS procedures for verifying information.

Although exact practices are not widely disclosed, USCIS may verify documents and evidence through various means, including direct contact with listed references when necessary. This verification is part of rigorous measures to ensure compliance with visa criteria.

The process aims to validate the integrity of legal immigration in the US, and USCIS may resort to calls or other methods if there are doubts. For this reason, all information must be accurate and well documented.

Following immigration laws is essential, and consulting official sources and experts reduces risks of fraud. Transparency and consistency ensure a safe and objective case evaluation.
