You should return to SSA now—not keep waiting for DHS—and ask the field office to pull the latest returned SAVE response into your pending SSNAP application.

CaseCheck Response

A SAVE response was returned to the agency. Contact the agency about the status of your benefit application. If you need more help, please email SAVE at SAVE.help@uscis.dhs.gov.

Steps 6–7; Step 2 Caution

The AV response is electronic but does not automatically propagate into SSNAP. Each FO must request the “SAVE- All Receipted Electronic Additional and Third Level verification responses” list within SSNAP. Once an AV response appears on the list, you must update the SSN application to pull in the SAVE AV response. When the pending application reflects the AV response, SSNAP determines if the status verifies: a. If the status verifies, SSNAP displays a message beginning with “SUCCESSFULLY VERIFIED”, updates the “Evidence Submitted” field from “Suspect” to “Verified”, and determines the alien’s citizenship category (Numident CIT field) and permanent residence alien status (Numident PRA field). CAUTION: If you submit another IV request, the entire SAVE verification process starts over. Do not submit another IV request unless instructed to do so.

Additional Verification

After completing additional verification SAVE will: Return a SAVE response, or Prompt the user to “Resubmit with Docs,” which means the user must upload a copy of the applicant’s immigration document for verification. SAVE will then return a final response.

If a newly hired employee has applied for, but has not yet received his or her SSN (e.g., the employee is a newly arrived immigrant), attach an explanation to the employee’s Form I-9 and set it aside. Allow the employee to continue to work and create a case in E-Verify using the employee’s SSN as soon as it is available. If you are unable to create a case by the third business day after the employee’s first day of employment, select Awaiting Social Security number when prompted by E-Verify .
