1.3 Create a Case

E-Verify cases must be created no later than the third business day after the employee starts work for pay. E-Verify employer agents who learn that they inadvertently failed to create a case by the third business day after the employee started work for pay should bring themselves into compliance immediately by creating a case for the employee and indicating the reason that the case was not created within three days of the employee’s first day of employment. E-Verify provides a drop-down list of reasons for you to select or you can provide your own reason in the field provided.

Information used to create an E-Verify case comes from the employee’s completed Form I-9. E-Verify employer agents must obtain Forms I-9 from their clients before creating E-Verify cases on their behalf. Additional information on E-Verify and Form I-9 is available in the E-Verify User Manual.

To use E-Verify, you must first log in with your assigned user ID and password. Then, follow the steps outlined in How to Create a Case – Process Overview.

How to create a case – Process Overview

  • From the E-Verify home page, click Cases and select Create New Case; or
  • Click Create New Case from quick link below.

If the employee did not provide an email address on Form I-9, click the box next to No email address provided. Click Continue.

Alternatively, you may click Today, 1 Day Ago, or 2 Days Ago and the corresponding date automatically populates in the Employee’s First Day of Employment field. If you select Other, the system requires you to manually enter the employee’s first day of employment.
