Immigration Consultation with
Experienced Immigration Attorneys

President George W. Bush has signed a short-term continuing resolution (H.R. 2638) to extend the E-Verify program through March 6, 2009, and inject $100 million in new funding for the program until then. The program had been scheduled to sunset on November 29, 2008.

The extension leaves open the question of whether E-Verify will be reauthorized when Congress reconvenes early next year under a new administration. President-elect Barack Obama has indicated his support for E-Verify and immigration reform as a whole.

A bill to reauthorize E-Verify for five years (H.R. 6633), which passed the House on July 31, 2008, by an overwhelming 407-2 vote, has been stalled for months in the Senate. The Senate Bill, introduced by Senator Robert Menendez, also includes a provision which would allow U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to “recapture” unused immigrant visas between 1992 and 2007 in order to reduce the current green card backlogs.

About E-Verify

E-Verify is a voluntary, Internet-based system operated by USCIS, an agency within the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), in partnership with the Social Security Administration (SSA), that allows employers to verify the employment eligibility of new hires.  In addition to use of the E-Verify system and compliance with its regulations, employers still must comply with the I-9 Employment Verification requirements.

E-Verify electronically compares employee information taken from Form I-9 (the paper-based employment eligibility verification form used for all new hires) against more than 425 million records in SSA’s database and more than 60 million records in DHS’ immigration databases.  While some states have mandated that certain employers use this system, voluntary adoption has been slow due to concerns for the accuracy of the government checks and the additional administrative burden on employers.
