When an applicant has presented an USCIS document containing the individual's alien admission number or alien file number, if the documents appear to be legitimate, the application must be processed within the appropriate time frame without waiting for receipt of additional verification from USCIS. A copy of the document must be included in the case file. Provided the document is in the case file, an error will not be cited should later verification result in ineligibility.
Example:
An individual applies and provides USCIS documents. When completing the SAVE inquiry, the worker is advised to request additional verification. The application must be processed within the appropriate time frame and the individual must be included in the case.
