How Long Do Form I-9 and E-Verify Employment Eligibility Verifications Take?
An employer must first receive a user name and password before accessing the online Form I-9 and Employment Eligibility Verification Program. This is a one-time process and usually only takes a few days. Once the setup process is completed, employee work confirmations are instant. However, when a tentative non-confirmation of work is received, the employer is required to follow specific employee notification, follow-up, and case recording procedures. The employee has ten days to contact the appropriate agency to resolve the issue. The employer then runs a follow-up verification request. The specific agency may require more time to complete the process.
