Redesigned E-Verify Employer Web Interface Launched by USCIS
A completely overhauled web interface, especially for employers using the E-Verify Program has been released by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) after a year’s efforts. The web interface has been redesigned in order to facilitate the employers to have a more organized access to the E-Verify Program.
According to the Director of USCIS, Alejandro Mayorkas, the redesign is one of the ongoing efforts towards enhancing the E-Verify Program. He also said that the new web interface incorporates a new section expanded for customer support in addition to providing employers with a streamlined access to the program. He further added that the E-Verify system redesign corresponds to the USCIS.gov redesign that was launched in September, 2009, proving the efficiency and transparency of USCIS services.
More than 200 pages have been re-constructed to keep the user at ease. The navigation tools have been improved to ensure ease-of-use, significantly reduce errors, and allow immediate verification of those employers who are enrolling in E-Verify Program against commercial data.
In addition, the redesigned E-Verify web interface also includes a new home page with a new “case alerts” feature, enhanced case management, and organized tutorials. In order to make certain that only valid companies enroll in the E-Verify Program and protect their privacy, the new interface masks Social Security numbers.
E-Verify’s commitment to security, customer service, efficiency, and accuracy is evident in the redesigned E-Verify web interface. USCIS’s customer focus and its intention to maximize public’s trust on the program have also been emphasized through the redesign.
The updated tutorial has to be completed by all the current E-verify users. Upon completion, which takes about 20 minutes, the tutorial serves as a guide to the redesigned E-Verify web interface.
USCIS is partnership with the Social Security Administration operates the E-Verify Program. The employment eligibility of the newly hired employees can be verified by the employers through this web-based program.
