Immigration Alert
November 8, 2007
New I-9 Form Released
On November 7, 2007, USCIS announced that a
revised Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9) is available for use.
USCIS also released a new M-274, Handbook for Employers, Instructions for
Completing the Form I-9. USCIS "encourages" use of the new form immediately,
but indicates that it will not be required until notice is published in the
Federal Register. HLG will send out an Immigration Alert when the new notice
is published.
The new I-9 reflects the removal of five documents that had been used for
proof of both identity and employment eligibility. They include: Certificate
of U.S. Citizenship (Form N-560 or N-570); Certificate of Naturalization
(Form N-550 or N-570); the old Alien Registration Receipt Card (Form I-151);
the Reentry Permit (Form I-327); and the Refugee Travel Document (Form
I-571).
AILA has copies of all the new documents:
