USCIS issued an updated handbook to assist employers in completing Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. Form I-9 verifies that an employee is eligible to work in the United States legally. Because every employer must complete an I-9 for every new employee, knowing how to complete the form properly is essential to effective and efficient business practices.
The detailed handbook provides step by step instructions and samples of how to complete the I-9. It is especially helpful in explaining how to correctly input information for immigrant and nonimmigrant employees who are authorized to work in the U.S. legally. The handbook helps employers identify what type of employment authorization their employees have and how to read and analyze their documents and identification. Copies of the handbook are available on the USCIS website in English and Spanish. Dayzad Law Offices is available to guide Human Resources with immigration compliance.
