e-verify connection

Welcome to E-Verify Connection, an e-newsletter from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for all employers.  Each issue will bring you updates about Form I-9, Self Check and E-Verify’s advances and activities, as well as other useful information related to employment eligibility verification.  A PDF version of E-Verify Connection is available online.

Your Ideas Became E-Verify Enhancements

Users submit great ideas to E-Verify Listens, like these two that were released on June 22:

  1. Duplicate Case Alert. E-Verify now has a pop-up alert that notifies users when they create a duplicate case.
  2. Updated Further Action Notice for Web Services Users. E-Verify no longer prepopulates the E-Verify Employer Agent name.

See Enhancements or join an Existing Users webinar to learn about all of the recent E-Verify releases.

Receive All Account Notifications

To keep your account up to date, E-Verify now prompts you to validate your email address and telephone number when your password expires.


E-Verify Poster in More Languages

E-Verify employers must display the participation posters in English and Spanish. Now employers can also display the posters in eight additional languages. See Foreign Language Resources.

Self Check Works for Job Seekers

The Self Check web page has been dressed up. Encourage job seekers to visit Self Check to confirm their own employment eligibility before you do.

TPS for Haiti Extended

USCIS has automatically extended employment authorization documents issued under the last extension of TPS Haiti for 6 months, through January 22, 2015. See the guidance for completing the Form I-9.

Special for North Carolina

E-Verify is working with the North Carolina Labor Department to conduct monthly webinars for NC businesses. Many NC employers add I-9 Central and E-Verify links to their websites to help customers learn about employment eligibility verification. Join a webinar next month.

Form I-9 Tip

Q. How can I handle remote hires? A. Employers may designate an authorized representative to fill Forms I-9 on behalf of their company, including personnel officers, foremen, agents or notary public. A notary public must perform the same required actions as any authorized representative. Find more details on the What’s New page of I-9 Central.
