USCIS Releases Executive Summary on I-9 Listening Session
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010For those of you who participated on the Listening Session conference call, USCIS has released the Executive Summary follow-up and recap of the call. In the Summary, links are provided to a List of Federal Contractors that are enrolled in the FAR E-Verify Program, a link to the revised FAQ’s that can be found on the same page under links and resources.
A Self-Check Initiative will be introduced in December. This initiative will enable anyone to go to the website and run a verification query on him/herself and determine the accuracy of his/her government record.
The Summary further states that USCIS has surpassed 200,000 registrants for E-Verify, which encompasses over 700,000 worksites nationwide, and:
• A strong employee rights initiative has been created and a partnership with the Department of Justice, Civil Rights Division, Office of Special Counsel has been formed, resulting in the introduction of an employee hotline and the release of videos, both for employees and employers, to guide them through the Tentative Nonconfirmation (TNC) process. These videos can be viewed on the USCIS website and YouTube and are also available on DVD.
• The E-Verify public web pages have been redesigned and features an expanded employee support section.
