Hey all! I'm waiting on a 10 year GC (got the 18-month extension letter earlier this year) and have hit 12 months of waiting; I filed in October 2018. USCIS just ran a credit score check at some point this month...? Is this common? I've apparently got a letter coming in the mail from them at some point today, and I have no idea what it could be.  I can't seem to find anything on the forum about it, maybe I'm just not looking in the right places.

I have no idea, never heard of it. You're not buy a car or getting mortgage, so don' know what the credit check is for. Maybe USCIS is coming out with a credit card they want you to apply for. "Sign up today and you will get a direct phone number to the adjudicator on YOUR case"...

How do you know USCIS did a credit check? Did you see something come up via credit monitoring? If so, what did it show up as?

Yeah it was a "soft" credit check, came up as USCIS IMMIGRATION with a Washington DC address. I didn't save my report, which I definitely should have now that I think of it. I'll have to see if I can view it again.

You may be more likely to find people that may be similarly situated, and have experienced something similar as yourself in the Removal of Conditions (ROC) Forum, instead of in an AOS forum. :idea:

Completed: K1/K2 (271 days) - AOS/EAD/AP (134 days) - ROC (279 days)

Wow!  ROC/AOS, whatever, I haven't heard of this happening.  Fascinating.

Does anyone know if they run a credit check for E-Verify? I recently just tried to enroll in that, but I couldn't get my login sorted out. I wonder if that was it?

Self Check will not affect a user’s credit score. Users viewing their credit reports after using Self Check will see a record of a “soft hit” or “soft inquiry” in the report. Soft hits are not shown to businesses and are not used to calculate credit scores.

 

 There seems to be some sort of view your credit score attached to the e-verify site. Maybe your problems with log in are related to that? Many places use credit reports to verify you, being a new immigrant if they dont have any info on the credit report they cant ask you weird questions to verify your identity. I think marketplace also uses a similar verification method- or they had in the past. But the soft inquiry is most likely from using the e-verify site. And most likely unrelated to any RFE mailings you may be getting.

I think this is part of the new 'public charge' rule.
