U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will begin disposing of E-Verify records that are over 10 years old beginning on January 1, 2015.  The disposal schedule follows the requirements set out by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)  It is required to dispose of the records that are 10 years old and older to minimize security and privacy risks.  As of January 1, 2015, USCIS will begin disposing of records whose last transaction occurred on or before December 31, 2004. USCIS will expunge certain E-Verify transaction records that are 10 years or older, those whose last transaction occurred on or before December 31, 2004. USCIS may retain E-Verify records associated with an ongoing Government investigation, prosecution or litigation.  This process will recur annually.
