G-845 and G-845 Supplement
The G-845, Document Verification Request, and the G-845
Supplement must be used jointly to verify the applicant’s
immigration status and/or sponsorship. These forms are used if one
of the situations below exist:
• The applicant is unable to provide the necessary documents to
establish proof of legal residence or sponsorship.
• The applicant’s immigration status and/or sponsorship is not
available on the SAVE system to verify received documentation.
The CAPI EW, with information received from the applicant, must
complete the G-845 and G-845 Supplement at the time of application
and send both forms to USCIS for verification of immigration status
and/or sponsorship.
The EW must control for a three week response from USCIS.
PA 481
The applicant must complete the PA 481 at application, indicating
his/her language preference. The EW shall communicate verbally
and in writing in the applicant’s indicated preferred language.
CAPI 109
Any applicant who wishes to designate a payee other than
him/herself must complete the CAPI 109. Also, individuals applying
as a couple must agree to designate a payee by completing and
signing this form.
NOTE:
Couples who choose not to designate a payee will have
one of them assigned as the payee by the computer
system. The system will default to the spouse whose case
number contains the lowest last digit number.
EXAMPLE:
Mr. Nguyen’s case number is 1667806 and Mrs. Nguyen’s case
number is 1667807. In this example, the system would designate
Mr. Nguyen as the payee for this couple case.
What is the processing time for an application?
The investigation and determination of eligibility shall be completed
and appropriate action taken on the application within 30 days of:
• The date of the SAWS 1/CA 1, or
• Receipt of the SAWS 1/CA 1, whichever is later.
