A desk review is a compliance assistance tool that consists of phone calls, emails, interviews and document exchanges between E-Verify’s Account Compliance staff and E-Verify participants. Desk reviews allow compliance staff to help E-Verify participants correct employment verification activities that E-Verify staff have detected as non-compliant.

USCIS protects E-Verify against system misuse through account compliance activities, such as identifying and resolving compliance issues, notifying employers of noncompliant behaviors, and offering compliance assistance in the form of emails, phone calls, desk reviews, and site visits.
