USCIS Announces New Process for Submitting to VIBE

The independent information provider (IIP) for USCIS's Validation Instrument for Business Enterprises (VIBE) program, Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), has launched a new streamlined online process for certain USCIS petitioners and other U.S. government customers seeking to submit information about their organizations into VIBE's database.  VIBE is a web-based adjudication tool used by USCIS to validate basic information regarding companies / organizations petitioning to employ certain alien workers.

Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) launched the process on Dec. 9, 2011, enabling eligible petitioners to update their company or organization information via D&B's iUpdate for U.S. government customers Web page.  Certain USCIS customers filing employment-based petitions that qualify for VIBE may, at no cost, use the iUpdate link to contact D&B to create, update, and view basic elements of their organization's D&B record, without being subjected to direct marketing from D&B.  Currently the new process is available only for U.S.-based privately held companies.

USCIS does not expect or require petitioners to contact D&B.  USCIS does not endorse D&B or its products or services, and does not in any way suggest that anyone purchase products or services from the firm in order to ensure that information is complete.
