USCIS to Launch a Redesigned E-Verify Site

USCIS has unveiled a substantial redesign of the E-Verify system website.  The changes are both in terms of design and functionality.   The new E-Verify site will go live on June 13th, and USCIS has advised us that all user accounts will remain valid and active.

Graphic Design

E-Verify’s design has seem to be somewhat of an afterthought for the initial designers.  Not anymore.  E-Verify’s design now features cleaner page elements, better visual clues for case status and other important pieces of information.

Functionality

Some interesting functionality has been added.  Among the most interesting, and most disappointing, is the case alerts feature.  E-Verity can keep track of a work authorization document’s expiration date and provide an alert when such document is about to expire.  However, the disappointment comes after realizing that a user must log into E-Verify to obtain such alerts.  According to USCIS, their “current system doesn’t support automatic “blast” e-mails other than for enrollment-related actions. We’re looking into solutions that would allow us to use e-mail more, but in the meantime, the new case alerts feature represents a big improvement in case management.”

Transition Resources

USCIS has made available some transition resources:

Conclusion

E-Verify’s redesign is a step in the right direction.  Not only visually pleasing, the system starts to add requested functionality.  We encourage USCIS to continue to listen to its constituents and add and improve features as more and more businesses decide (or are required) to adopt E-Verify.
