participating agency validates an 

applicant’s immigration status by 

inputting identifying information into 

the Verification Information System 

(VIS), which executes immigration 

status queries against a range of data 

sources. If VIS returns an immigration 

status and the benefit-issuing agency 

does not find a material discrepancy 

with the response and the documents 

provided by the applicant, the 

verification process is complete. Then, 

the agency may use that immigration 

status information to determine whether 

to issue the benefit.
