Hello,

My EAD expired on 8/17/2016 and I lost my job because of it. USCIS received my renewal app on 4/01/2016.

I tried the self-check E-verify, as NOTAPRO suggested, just to see if I was still able to work, However, i got the following:


Unable to Proceed

Sorry, we are unable to give you access to the Self Check service at this time because the third party identity assurance service was unable to generate enough information about you in order to create a quiz to confirm your identity. The information you provided has not been checked against U.S. government databases for employment eligibility.

There may be several reasons why a quiz could not be generated for you:

You may have moved recently and your credit files and public records do not yet reflect your new address. If so, you can try running a Self Check again using your former residence in the address field.
You may have entered information incorrectly, preventing the independent service from locating any records about you
You chose not to provide your Social Security Number. In some cases, providing this additional information may make it easier for the third party identity assurance service to find your records and generate quiz questions for you.
You may have attempted to take a quiz too many times recently. In this case, if you need to access Self Check you should wait a few days and try again.
You may not have enough of a financial footprint for enough questions to be generated. This can happen if you have entered the country or the workforce recently or you simply have not applied for any type of credit.
You may have certain fraud alerts reported to your state or a credit bureau. These fraud alerts are usually created by an individual who was the victim of identity theft or is at a greater risk of becoming a victim.
You may have put a security freeze on your credit report.
If you would like to confirm the accuracy of the information found in your credit reports you may do so by visiting www.annualcreditreport.com and requesting free copies of your credit reports. If you find a discrepancy in any of your credit reports you should follow up with the individual credit reporting agency to correct those records.

If you would like information on your rights relating to credit reporting, or more detailed information on the steps you can take to correct errors found in your credit reports, please visit www.ftc.gov/credit.

Because the identity assurance step was not completed, Self Check did not check your personal information against any U.S. government records.


Even though an identity assurance quiz could not be generated, you may still be authorized to work in the United States. While we are unable to let you confirm your work eligibility through Self Check, alternative options are available and explained below. These methods may be used to determine whether government records relating to your employment eligibility are accurate.

Contacting the numbers below will not provide you with any information relating to the identity proofing process or why a quiz was not generated. For that information, please see the guidance above.

Wait until an employer checks your employment eligibility through E-Verify: Some companies use the E-Verify Program to check the work eligibility of their new hires. If there is an issue with your records, your employer will inform you of the next steps at that time. In most instances, DHS and SSA records are accurate; E-Verify finds about 97% of the work force to be employment authorized.
Contact the Social Security Administration: If you would like to check your records with the Social Security Administration, please contact their toll-free number at 1-800-772-1213 or call or visit your local Social Security office. Social Security can handle most inquiries over the telephone.
Contact the USCIS National Customer Service Center (NCSC): Call the NCSC to check the accuracy of your immigration records and to determine next steps with an immigration specialist. Noncitizens may contact the NCSC at (800) 375-5283, TTY (800) 767-1833.
