Using SAVE’s CaseCheck Tool

In order to process an application for a benefit or license with a federal, state, or local government agency, these agencies may need to verify applicants’ immigration status to process the application. To verify an applicant’s status, agencies use the SAVE Program (the Electronic Immigration Status Verification system). CaseCheck, a free and fast service, lets applicants follow the progress of their SAVE verification case online.

Applicants may check the status of their SAVE verification at USCIS’s webpage here.  Applicants will need to enter their date of birth along with their verification case number, provided by the relevant agency or the number from one of the following immigration documents:

  • Certificate of Citizenship

  • Certificate of Naturalization

  • I-20 Certificate of Eligibility for Nonimmigrant Student Status

  • I-94 Arrival/Departure Record

  • I-94 stamp in Unexpired Foreign Passport

  • I-551 Permanent Resident Card

  • I-765 Employment Authorization Card
