USCIS announced this month that its Self Check service will now be available nationwide. Self Check, a free online service of E-Verify, allows workers to check their own employment eligibility status. The service is now available in all 50 states as well as Washington, DC, Guam, Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands and the Commonwealth of Northern Mariana Islands.
“We are pleased to complete, ahead of schedule, our expansion of this important tool for employees,” said Alejandro Mayorkas, Director, USCIS. “Since our initial launch in March, approximately 67,000 people have used Self Check and we anticipate that participation will dramatically increase with service now available to individuals across the country.”
Self Check was developed by the Department of Homeland Security, in partnership with the Social Security Administration. Individuals can check their own employment eligibility status online at http://www.uscis.gov/selfcheck and can obtain guidance on how to correct their records, if mistaken. The service is offered directly to workers and is available in both English and Spanish. |
