PRESS RELEASE: USCIS Implements Customer Identity Verification at Field Offices. NPZ LAW GROUP, P.C. Attorneys Ridgewood New Jersey

RIDGEWOOD, NJ - SEPTEMBER 9th, 2013 - Beginning September 9, 2013, USCIS will employ a new verification tool called Customer Identity Verification (CIV) in its field offices. Customers will now submit biometric data, specifically fingerprints and photographs, when appearing at USCIS offices for interviews or to receive evidence of an immigration benefit. CIV will enhance the integrity of the immigration system and combat identity fraud by allowing USCIS to biometrically verify a customer's identity. Having resolved a technical issue that delayed our original launch, the tool will now be phased in between September 9 and October 21, 2013 to customers attending an interview or being issued evidence of an immigration benefit.
