USCIS Releases New E-Verify Enhancements

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has released its latest round of E-Verify enhancements, which will go into effect immediately for all users of the E-Verify web interface.It’s important to note that this latest E-Verify release only affects those organizations (or agents) that access E-Verify directly through a web browser and not those employers using an electronic I-9 system.E-Verify now supports the following browsers (in addition to Internet Explorer 6.0 and above): Firefox (version 3.0 and above); Chrome (version 7.0 and above); and Safari (version 4.0 and above). The USCIS has also added a new “Quick Audit Report” which will allow companies to generate an Excel spreadsheet of E-Verify case data for a particular time period and state location. Perhaps the most significant change is a new set of fields, which will automatically appear for “aliens authorized to work” who present a Foreign Passport with an attached I-94. Last but not least, the USCIS has added a new Web-based tutorial and a new E-Verify User Manual for Corporate Administrators.
