DHS Announces Ability to Self-Check With E-verify

The Department of Homeland Security has announced the ability to curious individuals to self-check whether they have work authorization in the United States.  The self-check is available at the USCIS website.  Currently it is only available in a few states, including Virginia, Arizona, the District of Columbia, Colorado and Idaho.

The usefulness of the check is somewhat doubtful – at least to this immigration attorney – if someone has so much doubt about their employment eligibility, they should not rely on the self-check.  E-verify has had countless false positives where the system believed a work authorized person was not.  If you have difficulties with the self-check, or have been denied employment because of what you believe is a faulty e-verify record, please contact this New York City Immigration Lawyer.
