Abstract: CPMS-IVT is an internet-based tool that processes, displays, and retrieves biometric and biographic data from the Automated Biometric Identification System (IDENT). USCIS trained staff at USCIS District/ Field Offices will be instructed to use CPMS-IVT 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.
