The Secondary Inspections Tool (SIT) is an internet-based tool that processes, displays, and retrieves biometric and biographic data from the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT) within the US-Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology (US-VISIT) system. USCIS trained staff in USCIS District/ Field Offices will be instructed to use SIT at the time of a required interview in connection with an immigration or naturalization benefit request, or at the time of an individual's appearance at a USCIS District/Field Office to receive a document evidencing an immigration benefit, following a required appearance at an Application Support Center (ASC) for fingerprinting. To use SIT, USCIS trained staff must take a photograph of the individual and two fingerprints and input the biometric information into SIT. Forms requiring SIT verification will be updated to notify an individual of this requirement. To provide fingerprints for SIT, the individual must first place his or her left index finger in the biometric machine, and then his or her right index finger. SIT compares the biometric data (fingerprint and photograph) and biographical information with biometrics and biographic information previously taken at an ASC using a 1:1 verification. USCIS will utilize SIT to verify an individual's identity, to determine if he or she has any other identities, A numbers, or Department of State system warnings for Watch List hits, such as terrorists, active wants and warrants from the FBI, and other serious criminal immigration offenses.
