"Self Check" is a handy little service introduced recently by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. It allows an individual to check his own name/Social Security number combination, before doing a job interview, and so head off "no match" issues before hand. Besides the obvious ID theft issues, it's amazing how many records bounce because of clerical mistakes - misspelled names and so on.
Good idea for the prospective employer to provide the e-mail address of the service to folks they are looking at interviewing, again to speed up the process.
"USCIS is releasing the Self Check service in phases. At this point the service is offered only to users that maintain an address in Arizona, California, Colorado, the District of Colombia, Idaho, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, Virginia, or Washington. The availability of Self Check will be limited for the initial launch as the service is tested and improved upon based on the outcomes of the initial implementation."
As a charter member of ICE's IMAGE program, we take pride in thoroughly screening our folks. The Self Check program can only help.
