I'm concerned, because 2 out of 3 companies I worked for don't exist anymore (with all this crisis and all). Does CIS verify the info and how they do it in this case? Can they issue RFE to prove the work? Of course, I have I-94th for them (submitted) and W2th somewhere at home, but I highly doubt I can get any other info like I-9.

Form G-325A is the least noticeable/usable form for USCIS unless an applicant is trying to deal with USCIS within a year of coming into the US. As per USCIS interm policy, USCIS must need to send this form (filled by applicants) to US consulate in abraod to verify the information or to search any inconsistent information with their record. But if someone is dealing with USCIS after a year of coming into the US then USCIS doesn't send nor check anything with US consulate.
The prime purpose of this form is just to keep the biographical information on the applicant. USCIS don't check/verify where applicant worked and what unless an applicant is trying to adjust his/her status on the basis of employment basis. So, one shouldn't be worried if an employment couldn't be verified for any reason.

If they do their verification, shouldn't they find out the fact that these companies once existed and no longer do. PanAm no longer exists, so should airline pilots stop mentioning on their CVs if they ever flew for them?
Thanks, JohnnyCash! All those horrid stories about requests to show I9 (hell knows for what reason) just bring my nightmares that I'll be asked about something I won't be able to prove (I've been in US for 10+ years, so for some docs its just too long time to survive with relocations and all).
I don't know frankly. You don't provide phone or website in G325, so how could they know anyway? When I google one of the companies I contracted for it still bring the name and address. But I know for sure it doesn't exist anymore (I know former VP of the company).

I agree with JC. USCIS does not have machinery and reason to check every bit of information on all the forms. But that does not relieve us from putting truthful info as later on if for any reason case is dug out and searched for verification, GC can be revoked on perjury. CITIZENSHIP can be revoked too if fraudulent info is put in the forms. No pressure, just the truth.
<...unless an applicant is trying to deal with USCIS within a year of coming into the US...>
Regarding this, do you mean "within a year of first coming to the US or within a year of most recent coming". Some people come on J-1 visas or F-1 but go back and forth (e..g during summer). So if someone has been here for three years (i.e. since 2006) but last entered in Aug 2008 on a J-1 will this still be verified since the filing date for her green card would be less than a year (filed May 2009)

It doesn't matter if one goes ins and outs of US on any kind of non-immigrant visa regardless of how many times, but if that person will try to adjust status within one year of his/her last arrival/entry into the US then USCIS will send one copy of this Form to US consulate in aborad where applicant last obtained US visa to verify all the information on that form. It's noted in USCIS interim memo and the procedures adjusting status.
Also, people should always be truthful on this form (and any other forms) regardless of some information has changed over the time or companies don't exit anymore or whatever. Whether USCIS will be able to verify or not, applicants must be truthful in provinding any information on there because those information is provided under penalty of perjury and not been untruthful with USCIS could lead to a permanent bar to having green card.
What does this achieve? Do the US Consulates send their people into remote villages in the home country to verify all the info? Or simply check against the database maintained at the US Consulate for information filed at the time of applying for the non-immigrant visa (more likely the cse). In the former case I doubt the US Consulates have the resources to send people to verify all the info on everyone's G-325 forms. In the latter case, wouldn't the US Dept of State have that information anyway?
Either way, I ask just out of cusiosity since you seem to be so plugged into the USCIS's internal processes and such.

That is an interesting question Tabaliya. I think "field investigations" do happen but only when fraud is strongly suspected.
