How To Prepare For Unannounced Administrative Site Visits

As part of ongoing efforts to ensure the integrity of the immigration benefit process, the Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate (FDNS) operates an Administrative Site Visit and Verification Program (ASVVP). Under this program, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) carries out both random and targeted Administrative Site Visits (ASVs) to verify the existence of sponsor-employers, confirm the employment of sponsored foreign workers, assess compliance with salary requirements, ensure consistency between the information provided to USCIS and actual conditions of employment, and to otherwise assess compliance with regulatory requirements. Some visa categories are not subject to this program, such as Os, TNs, and employment-based permanent residency filings.
