The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) are now offering two free E-Verify webinars and they are both available on-demand. E-Verify is a Web-based, free program operated by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) that allows businesses to determine the eligibility of their employees to legally work in the United States.

Form I-9 Webinar On-Demand: This free self-service tool reviews Form I-9 and imparts best practices at the viewers’ convenience. Viewers can choose the chapters of their choice or watch the entire 22 minute video in one sitting.

E-Verify Webinar On-Demand: This free self-service tool reviews Form I-9 and E-Verify, enrollment, how to run a case and more. It’s another good training tool to help your business. Viewers can choose the chapters of their choice or watch the entire 14 minute video in one sitting.

On Friday, September 26, 2014, USCIS announced that they have published a web page with free on-demand access to a Form I-9 webinar. On-demand means that this video of the Form I-9 webinar is available at any time on the Internet. This webinar explains how to correctly complete the Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification form. You can choose from any of the (14) individual chapters or you may watch the entire 22 minute video altogether. This is a great training tool to learn how to correctly complete this important form.

Form I-9 Webinar on Demand

Form I-9 is used for verifying the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States. All U.S. employers must ensure proper completion of Form I-9 for each individual they hire for employment in the United States. This includes citizens and noncitizens.

E-Verify, the Internet-based system that employers use to check whether job applicants may legally work in the U.S. is currently unavailable due to a Federal Government shutdown. You will not be able to access your E-Verify account!

E-Verify Customer Support and any related services are also closed.

Which includes the following:

The American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) has requested information from the federal government agencies involved in the immigration system for updates on their contingency plans in case of a government shutdown. A possible government shutdown could happen as early as October 1, 2013, the beginning of the new fiscal year 2014 (FY2014). AILA has reported that they have not received any updated information at this time. They suggested reviewing the shutdown plans for the last threatened federal government shutdown, which was in 2011.
