E-Verify Account Compliance

Release Date:
News Item Date:

Recently, Account Compliance (AC) began requesting Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, in the desk review process. Requested copies of Forms I-9 and related employment verification documents are compared to information in the corresponding E-Verify case. AC contacts employers by telephone and email and makes recommendations on how the employer can become compliant with E-Verify and Form I-9 requirements. A desk review is not an audit or inspection. To learn more, see our self-assessment guides and webinars.

If you believe you received a scam email that looks like it came from USCIS requesting Form I-9 information, report it to the Federal Trade Commission.
