  1. Original Date Announced

    February 15, 2019

    On February 15, 2019, USCIS published a notice in the Federal Register proposing a new information collection, the USCIS Tip Form, and providing the public with 60 days to comment. The USCIS Tip Form would facilitate the collection of information from the public when immigration fraud is suspected, in particular credible and relevant claims of immigration benefit fraud impacting both open adjudications as well as previously approved benefit requests where the benefit remains valid. The form collects information related to the relevant fraud, identifies the type of benefit in question and provides space for the form user to describe the alleged fraud or abuse in additional detail.
