Veteran analysts and investigators — USCIS Fraud Detection and National Security is hiring!

Do you have investigative, analytical, technical and liaison skills that can assist our nation? Continue to serve with an agency that seeks to ensure only eligible immigrant applicants adjust, while those that have engaged in fraud, crime or terroristic activities are exposed and gain enforcement and intel attention. Key in FDNS as a search term on USAJOBS.gov!

As a result of President Trump’s Executive Orders relating to immigration, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) Fraud Detection and National Security (FDNS) are bolstering their ranks. Unfortunately there are many within the U.S. who are engaged in immigration benefit fraud, crime and other nefarious activities. Experienced investigators are needed to connect the dots, expose those engaged in fraud, crime or are here for illicit purposes such as money laundering, funding terrorism, violent street gangs, identity theft and human smuggling and trafficking.

Just what is FDNS? FDNS was created in 2004 as a result of 9/11 and the Patriot Act in order to strengthen USCIS’ efforts to ensure immigration benefits are not granted to individuals who pose a threat to national security or public safety, or who seek to defraud our immigration system. Nearly 1000 strong, today’s FDNS continues to lead USCIS’ effort to ensure the integrity of the nation’s immigration benefits processes.

FDNS’s primary mission is to determine whether individuals or organizations filing for immigration benefits pose a threat to national security, public safety, or are trying or have defrauded the government. FDNS officers are located in six USCIS Centers, and over 80 District and Field offices across the nation. There are several positions overseas located within U.S. consulates. Additionally, FDNS officers are co-located as liaisons in many federal law enforcement and intelligence agencies, as well.

FDNS Officers and Analysts negate or substantiate discrepancies and derogatory information that surface during the processing of immigration benefit applications and petitions. Resolution often requires communication with law enforcement or intelligence agencies to make sure that the information is relevant and material to the applicant or petitioner at hand and, if so, whether the information would have an impact on eligibility for the benefit.

FDNS Officers serve as liaisons between the benefit application processing side of USCIS and enforcement partners, such as Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Customs and Border Protection (CBP), Secret Service, the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Department of State Diplomatic Service, and numerous other federal, state, tribal and local agencies. They uncover, articulate and produce reports on single or conspiratorial subjects engaged in fraud, crime and terrorism activities. As FDNS offices refer cases to enforcement, they can continue supporting through prosecution with the Assistant United States Attorneys General in federal court.

FDNS Officers and Analysts perform checks of DHS databases and other indices, as well as other inquiries, to verify information submitted in support of immigration applications and petitions. Administrative inquiries may include fraud assessments, compliance reviews and targeted site visits.
