Pursuant to the E-Verify program, USCIS recently announced that it had notified participating employers through E-Verify Case Alerts if the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had revoked an employee’s Employment Authorization Document (EAD). Presumably such notifications may be made in the future when an EAD is revoked.  

E-Verify is an internet-based system operated by the U.S. federal government that allows employers to verify the employment eligibility of their employees by comparing information from an employee’s Form I-9 to U.S. government records. 

The E-Verify announcement notes that the DHS recently sent direct notifications to certain individuals who were paroled into the United States to terminate their parole and revoke their EADs. Employers must follow up on all Case Alerts in E-Verify and reverify the Forms I-9 of all employees whose EADs were revoked. Employees may still be authorized for employment based on another status or section of the law and can present other acceptable Form I-9 documentation to demonstrate employment authorization.

Foster attorneys are available for consultations if an E-Verify employer was notified that an employee’s EAD was revoked.  Foster continues to follow developments and will provide additional information as it becomes available via future Immigration Updates© and on our firm’s website at www.fosterglobal.com.
