United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) documents generally contain the date an alien entered the country or adjusted to the immigration status reflected on the document. If an alien does not have USCIS documentation, the State agency can verify the date of entry into the United States or date status was given by submitting a request for additional verification through the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program. State agencies with questions about SAVE should contact SAVE.help@uscis.dhs.gov.
