Everify nightmare.
After two years as a permanet resident, multiple job applications not clearly denied and forced to file for bankruptcy, I took the iniciative to test my own SS# and Alien number on EVRIFY. And... SURPRISE...! I discovered that for our pampered Department of Homeland Security, I AM NOT AUTHORIZED to work in the US! I wonder how many other foreign nationals, legally in this country are receiving the same results. Everify is proven to be an evil weapon of discrimination. When DHS will start looking for terrorists as they are supposed to do, instead of being ruining the lifes of families like mine!
