E-Verify Introduces myUploads

On March 10, E-Verify announced a new feature of myE-Verify that helps employees electronically resolve their Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Tentative Nonconfirmations (TNCs). The new feature, called myUploads, allows employees to upload images of their documentation as a JPEG, PNG or PDF.

myUploads may help expedite confirmation of employment eligibility and resolve TNCs. In the case of an E-Verify TNC, the E-Verify employer must privately notify the employee and provide a Further Action Notice (FAN) to help the employee understand the TNC process. The FAN will include information on how to use myUploads. Employees are required to contact DHS after uploading their documents. E-Verify employers are still required to process and close DHS TNC cases within E-Verify’s timelines.

Users must have a myE-Verify account in order to access myUploads. Those logging into myE-Verify for the first time since April 28, 2019 must access myE-Verify with their United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) online account. 

Employers may not require employees to use myUploads, myE-Verify or Self Check to resolve a TNC or to pre-check their employment authorization.
