USCIS soft credit inquiry
Good day! I was checking my free annual credit report from Experian and noticed that USCIS ran a soft credit inquiry the day after my green card was approved. Does anyone have reasoning for this?

Never heard about this. Why running your credit if they have FBI to check your entire life?? Make sure if is uscis.

following too! also I think Josh bigosh have a good point. Double check it's uscis

good point Josh. I mean unless it’s an investor based green card you have to remove conditions on … it’s kinda weird?

that’s weird, equally following.

@Josh... I was surprised! Yup, it said United States Citizenship etc.... and also the address on file for the inquiry came from a USCIS building in Washington DC 😳
Chris JJan 5, 2022
@ben.... Yes on Experian credit report under soft inquiries.

I also saw online at Visa Journey and Reddit that two other persons asked a similar question about credit checks from USCIS. One person said they checked his’ 4 times! 😳 But the weird part is, I was approved on the spot, and the day after is when they checked it.

out of curiosity do you all have a joint mortage? car etc? maybe they were just verifying what you guys gave them
Chris JJan 5, 2022
@Waiting Patiently... No, we don’t have a mortgage but we have a car that is paid off, so no auto loans. In our initial evidence, the only joint stuff we had was a joint checkings account, and at the interview, the guy didn’t take any new evidence at all, he didn’t even ask for it. Sidenote... I did some digging into the address of the inquiry and it came from USCIS Headquarters! 😳

Chris JJan 8, 2022

🤚🤚🤚 benJan 8, 2022
