Examine carefully claims from individuals in the CVI or involving evidence from the
CVI.
Be alert for:
-
-
•
Questionable identity—Many individuals in the CVI have the same or similar names.
Thus, it is important to ensure that the evidence submitted refers to the claimant;
and
-
Reconcile any discrepancies between the evidence submitted and/or the information
in file in the name of the claimant, parents' names, spouse's name, place of birth,
date of birth, etc.
If the claimant cannot provide a logical explanation of the discrepancy(ies), obtain
an explanation from the appropriate Island official through the FBU.
See GN 00307.400 - GN 00307.401 for detailed information on CVI proofs and relationship problems.
