E-Verify and I E-Verify Usage Guidelines

I E-VerifyTM Seal Campaign

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announces the I E-VERIFY campaign that highlights employers' commitment to working with DHS to maintain a legal workforce and reduce unauthorized employment.

DHS is making available to current E-Verify enrolled employers an I E-VERIFY seal, which employers can post in a visible place (for example, windows, doors, or bulletin boards) to advertise that they use E-Verify to maintain a legal workforce. Use of the Seal will only be granted after confirmation of the employer's status in the E-Verify program. The use or placement of this Seal will not preclude federal agents from conducting worksite enforcement activities and is not intended to provide a safe harbor for the employers.

The I E-VERIFY Seal does not constitute DHS endorsement of any employer's business, goods, services, or policies. Furthermore, use of the Seal does not replace E-Verify program requirements to post both the E-Verify Participation poster and the Right-to-Work poster.

If an employer is interested in obtaining and using the Seal, the employer must send a request to uscis.verlogo@dhs.gov. Upon receipt of the request and confirmation of the employer's status with the E-Verify program, DHS will furnish additional guidelines regarding the use of the Seal.

E-Verify® Logo and Name

For more information or to request the use of the logo, please e-mail uscis.verlogo@dhs.govdescribing the nature of the proposed use.

USCIS PREDICTS 2014 H-1B CAP TO BE FILLED BY APRIL 5, 2013.

WASHINGTON—U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced on March 15, 2013 that it will begin accepting H-1B petitions subject to the Fiscal Year (FY) 2014 cap on Monday, April 1, 2013. Cases will be considered accepted on the date that USCIS receives a properly filed petition for which the correct fee has been submitted; not the date that the petition is postmarked. The cap (the numerical limitation on H-1B petitions) for FY 2014 is 65,000. In addition, the first 20,000 H-1B petitions filed on behalf of individuals with U.S. master’s degree or higher are exempt from the fiscal year cap of 65,000.

This date is known as the final receipt date.  I...
