New I-9 Form on the Horizon

August 17, 2012 by 1 Comment

USCIS has proposed revisions to Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, which include:

  • Expanded Form I-9 instructions and a revised layout.
  • New, optional data fields to collect the employee’s e-mail address and telephone number.
  • New data fields to collect the foreign passport number and country of issuance. Only foreign nationals authorized to work in the U.S. who have also recorded their I-94 admission number on Form I-9 will need to provide the foreign passport number and country of issuance.

While these proposals must be issued as part of a final rule before they become effective, employers should be on the lookout for the new form in the coming months. The public comment period ended in late May.

This post originally appeared on the EAH Immigration Blog on August 17, 2012. Elkind Alterman Harston offer a full line of legal services to businesses and individuals in the areas of employment and family-based immigration, deportation and removal defense, and asylum and refugee law.The new CBA-CLE book, Immigration Law for the Colorado Practitioner, is now available for purchase. In addition to federal laws and regulations, lawyers must understand specific Colorado immigration laws and policies being implemented, and how they can affect their clients. This comprehensive reference covers an incredible range of practice issues, providing the necessary orientation, analysis, and authorities. It’s a new “must have” for the Colorado general practitioner, lawyers who focus their practice in areas that overlap with immigration law, as well as for lawyers who focus exclusively on immigration law.
