H. Owner Preparation to Collect — HUD Handbook 4350.3 REV-1

Owners are required to verify with the DHS the validity of documents provided by applicants. To do so, owners must:

Provide to the Multifamily Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) Administrator at HUD Headquarters the complete name, address and contact information of the owner, or management agent acting on the owner’s behalf, and a list of their project numbers and/or contract numbers.

2, Upon receipt of the access code, user ID and temporary password from the Multifamily SAVE Administrator, the owner is able to access the SAVE system at https://www.vis-dhs.com/ or through the EIV system and use the automated, web-based SAVE system to obtain primary, and in many instances, secondary verification.

Multiple users can use a single computer, but since the program is webbased, SAVE can be accessed from any computer that has internet access.
If the owner does not have internet access, it will be necessary to verify immigration status using the paper process. A completed Document Verification Request, Form G-845S, and photocopies of the immigration documentation must be mailed to the local immigration office to receive verification of validity of the documents.
