1000 Chapter 7:Worker guides • Section 1: Multiple program worker guides (07/2026) Documentation required when a person meets qualified non-citizens status as a person who has been Battered or Subjected to Extreme Cruelty. Documentation of a prima facie status or approved petition includes an I-707, Notice of Action that specifically states that the non-citizen is a: I-360 Self-petitioning spouse/child of USC (U.S. Citizen) or LPR (Legal Permanent Resident). The original notice of action will show an “Establishment of Prima Facie Case.” The status is valid for a period of 180 days from the date of the notice. An expiration date is given on the bottom of the notice. An I-797 may also indicate an “Extension of Prima Facie Case” with a new expiration date. An I-797, like the DHS 456, is a decision notice. It can be used for other information that is provided to immigrants by immigration services. Only the I-797 with the specific information about the prima facie case or an approved I-et0 petition would be considered documentation. Social Security Cards Although SOCIAL SECURITY CARDS are not immigration documents, they are mentioned here because they are often used as identification and to establish employment authorization. Social Security cards have been issued since 1936 and have been revised more than 20 times. Originally, the seal on the social security card read Department of Health, Education and Welfare. In May 1980, it was changed to the Department of Health and Human Services. In April 1995, it was changed again to read Social Security Administration. Some counterfeiters have failed to notice these changes. In October 1983, security features were added to the card. All social security cards issued since October 1983 have been printed with raised (intaglio) printing and the signature line consists of microline printing of the words “SOCIAL SECURITY ADMINISTRATION” in a repeating pattern.
