The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has the authority to verify any information you submit to establish

continued eligibility for regional center designation at any time. USCIS’ legal authority to verify this information is in 8

Agency verification methods may include, but are not limited to: review of public records and information; contact via

written correspondence, the Internet, facsimile, other electronic transmission, or telephone; unannounced physical site

inspections of residences and locations of employment; and interviews. USCIS will use information obtained through

verification to assess your compliance with the laws and to determine continued eligibility for regional center designation.

Subject to the restrictions under 8 CFR 103.2(b)(16) and/or 8 CFR 204.6(m)(6), USCIS will provide you with an

opportunity to address any adverse or derogatory information that may result from a USCIS compliance review,

verification, or site visit after the agency has initiated an adverse action which may result in revocation or termination of

an approval.
