USCIS Opens Comment Period on E-Verify Revisions

USCIS published a 30-day notice on September 10, 2026, inviting public comments on revisions to the E-Verify information collection through October 13, 2026.

USCIS is accepting public comments until October 13, 2026, on proposed revisions to the E-Verify information collection under OMB Control Number 1615-0092.

The notice follows a prior 60-day comment period published May 13, 2026, that received two comments. E-Verify is a web-based system that allows U.S. employers to electronically confirm the employment eligibility of newly hired employees. The associated form is G-1617. The estimated total annual hour burden for the collection is 2,045,781 hours, with an estimated total annual cost burden of $1,887,000.

Employers who participate in or enroll in E-Verify should review the notice to understand any potential changes to reporting requirements. Comments may address burden estimates or other aspects of the proposed revision and must be submitted via regulations.gov under docket USCIS-2007-0023. This update appears in immigration news 2026 as part of ongoing visa updates and policy changes affecting employment verification.

Employers can monitor the Federal Register for further developments and prepare comments before the deadline if the revisions may impact their enrollment or use of the program.
