In a Federal Register announcement today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services announced that a new Employment Eligibility Verification form (Form I-9) will be available shortly. The revised Form I-9 will be two pages in length and will include new data fields such as an employee’s foreign passport information and telephone number and email address. It allegedly improves upon the Form I-9’s instructions. Employers will have 60 days from the date it is listed in the Federal Register to begin using the new Form I-9 and prior versions will not be acceptable.
Stay tuned for more information!
