USCIS continues to seek public comments on proposed changes to Form I-9
Giselle Carson Mar 29, 2016 in Immigration News
Public comments may be submitted until April 27, 2016. In response to the public comments already received, USCIS has already made changes to the proposed new form including:
- Validations on certain fields to ensure information is entered correctly;
- Drop-down lists and calendars;
- Embedded instructions for completing each field;
- A dedicated area to enter additional information that employers are currently annotating in the margins;
- A quick-response (QR) code that generates once the form is printed to facilitate audits; and
- Removing the requirement that foreign nationals provide both their Form I-94 number and passport information in Section 1.
Employers should continue to use the current version of the Form I-9 until the new proposed version is finalized and approved. USCIS will post the final version on its website.
