What are the details?
USCIS annually disposes of E-Verify employer records that are 10 years old or older per the National Archives and Records Administration records retention and disposal schedule (N 1-566-08-7). This reduces security and privacy risks associated with the U.S. government retaining personally identifiable information.

To retain E-Verify case information, an employer (or their program or corporate administrators) may download and save the Historic Records Report, which includes:

• Company name and location;

• Initiated date and verification case number;

• Employee name and date of initial resolution;

• Date of additional resolution and final status; and

• Case closure date and case closure description.

Employers are required to record the E-Verify case verification number on the corresponding Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification or attach a copy of the case details page to the Form I-9. Employers should retain the Historic Records Report with each Form I-9.
