If an E-Verify case returns with the "Photo Match" status, E-Verify needs to confirm that the photo they have on file matches any photos provided in the employee's paperwork to ensure that the documents are genuine.
On the **Case Actions **tab, you will be asked to view an image and decide whether it matches any photo ID the employee has provided.
- If the person in the photo provided by E-Verify matches the person in the photo ID provided by the employee, select **Photo Match**.
- If the person in the photo provided by E-Verify *does not* match the person in the photo ID provided by the employee, select **No Photo Match**.

#### Close Case and Resubmit
If an E-Verify case returns a "Close Case and Resubmit" status, the case contains incorrect or incomplete information and must be closed so you can submit a new case.
On the **Case Actions **tab, you must select a Closure Reason from the dropdown menu before closing the case. After choosing a Closure Reason, select **Close Case**.
#### Final Non-Confirmation
If an E-Verify case returns a "Final Non-Confirmation" status, the employee has not been authorized for work, and you must close the case.
On the **Case Actions **tab, you must select a Closure Reason from the dropdown menu before closing the case. After choosing a Closure Reason, select **Close Case**.

You must upload valid photo ID of the employee that matches the documentation they have provided.

#### Queued
If an E-Verify case returns a “Queued” status, E-Verify needs more time to review the provided information. There is no immediate action to take. Check back on the case periodically for an updated status.
