CIRIS processes immigration application packets through a multi-stage validation pipeline designed to catch errors before USCIS review.

9-Layer Validation System

Each validation check operates independently but feeds into a unified integrity score. Click each to see detailed methodology.

Validates that all required forms and supporting documents are present in the submission packet.

What We Check:

  • Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence)
  • Form I-693 (Medical Examination Report)
  • Form I-765 (Employment Authorization Document, if applicable)
  • Form I-131 (Travel Document, if applicable)
  • Form I-864 (Affidavit of Support)
  • Birth certificate, passport copies, marriage certificates
  • Financial documentation (tax returns, pay stubs, bank statements)
  • Photos meeting USCIS specifications

Common Issues Detected:

  • Missing supplement forms for specific eligibility categories
  • Incomplete financial documentation packages
  • Missing translations for foreign-language documents
  • Absent required signatures or certifications
