A DHS Tentative Nonconfirmation (Mismatch) case result means that the information your employer entered in E-Verify from your Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, did not match records available to DHS.

It is important that you know your rights and responsibilities when you are hired by an E-Verify employer. E-Verify employers must follow E-Verify rules and responsibilities and protect the privacy of their employees. If you believe an employer is not following the E-Verify rules listed in the Employee Rights overview below or has discriminated against you, we encourage you to report it.

E-Verify works by comparing the information employees provide for Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, against records available to DHS and SSA.
