E-Verify Gets High Ratings

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) says that users of E-Verify: the free Internet-based system that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to work in the U.S.: have given the program high marks in a recent customer survey.

More than 1,300 randomly selected employers who use E-Verify evaluated key program aspects, including registration, the online tutorial, ease of use, technical assistance and customer service. They rated the program as especially high in overall customer satisfaction, with a score of 86 out of 100.

Other key survey findings showed that the overwhelming majority of users were:

• Likely to recommend E-Verify to other employers
• Confident in E-Verify’s accuracy
• Likely to continue using the program

According to USCIS, employer enrollment in E-Verify has more than doubled since January 2009, with more than approximately 432,000 participating companies. Approximately 1,500 new employers enroll each week. More than 20 queries were processed in E-Verify during FY 2012. Thus far during 2013, more than 8.4 million queries have been run through the system.
