Instructions and Help about I-9

How to Fill Out Form I-9 Hi everyone, I'm Priyanka Prakash, Senior Staff Writer at Fund era, and today I'm going to walk you through how to fill out Form I-9: Employment Eligibility Verification, which can be downloaded from USCIS.gov. This form must be completed for all paid employees to verify their work eligibility and work status in the United States. Employers and employees share in the completion of the form. Let's start with section one, which should be filled out by the employee their first day on the job. Employers should pr the form to the employee to fill out Section 1, along with instructions for the forum which are available at USCIS.gov. Today, I'm going to play the part of both employee and employer. Starting as the employee, I'm going to fill out Section 1 with my name, address, and date of birth. Entering your social security number is optional unless the employer participates in E-verify. If the employer participates in E-verify, and you have a social security number, you must pr that in Section 1. If you don't have a social security number, or haven't received one yet, you should leave this field blank. Email address and phone number are optional, though the USCIS may contact you if there's a mismatch between the information provided in this form and the information that's in other government records. If you choose not to premier address or phone number, you cannot leave those fields blank. You would have to type in N/A if you don't want to pr that information.

FAQ - I-9

What is the purpose of I-9 ?

Most of the documents you file are to be used to support the application of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as well as other federal regulations and programs. The documents we refer to under this category are: Employee's Eligibility Certificate (EEC), Immigrant's Employment Authorization Document Credible Inquiries and Affidavits, Certification and Authorization for Aliens and Form I-739. We refer to the latter form as Form I-739E because it is completed and dated with the “Immigration and Nationality Act (INA)” title. What are the forms that my client files? For information, please see: The types of documents that I-739-E and I-898-E must be filed with. For further guidance on using forms, please see Form I-739-E and Form I-898-E Frequently Asked Questions. I-898-E is only required when: The alien requests I-739-E because of an immediate threat of death or substantial bodily harm to himself or herself, his or her immediate family members, or others; The alien can establish that his or her refusal to return to his or her home country would pose an immediate threat of death or substantial bodily harm to himself or herself or to his or her immediate family members if that person were to return; or The person can establish that his or her refusal to return to his or her home country would pose an immediate threat of death or substantial bodily harm to him or her. I-739-E and I-898-E must be signed by the applicant The applicant must sign either Form I-739-E or Form I-898-E. However, a witness may sign form I-739-E instead of the alien by using Form I-739A (also found on your I-797 application) If the applicant is over age 65, the witness cannot sign Form I-739-E.

Who should complete I-9 ?

If you already take time off to care for a seriously ill family member, consider completing I-9 to show that you're doing the right thing and providing benefits to the beneficiary. If you don't have family ties to the beneficiary, the I-9 should say your reason for seeking benefits and any employment information you have, if required by I-9. Some agencies and employers may request this information. Be careful about asking how you want your benefits to be paid if you have health insurance, and you don't need money from I-9. Ask your job about your benefits to avoid being asked to pay the bill on your behalf. Your employer may want your EIC, I-9 or S-3 form to authorize them to collect your benefits. If they do, request a copy of those forms, along with more information. Some employers and agencies may require you to complete I-9 to provide benefits for the beneficiary, but they won't ask you for this information until after they begin collecting benefits. For example, the law requires employers to provide health insurance, so you need an I-9 to provide your defendants coverage.

When do I need to complete I-9 ?

When you take the first step toward an employment-based green card. After filing the Form I-766 petition, you must complete I-9 every six months. You do not have any more time to complete the forms once you file them. You have 60 days starting on the day you file the petition to file I-9 and 120 days starting on the last day for your green card. If the information on the I-9 forms does not match the info on the I-94, you have to go to another embassy for a “refusal to proceed.” I-9 does not contain any information beyond what's listed in the Form I-766, such as citizenship status. I-98E Is required prior to my interview date? Yes. Your interview date is usually the second week of October, and you will need to provide evidence to establish why you want to apply for admission to the United States; such as: proof of US residency in the United States for at least 6 months, evidence that you are not applying for a visa but for permanent residence, evidence that your visa status has not been revoked, a letter from your employer stating your intent to remain employed in the United States as of your interview date, or certification to the IRS that you are not the spouse or dependent of a US resident or citizen and that you cannot leave the United States without the permission of the employer. Please note that when you file Form I-766, I-866 and I-867 with USCIS (USCIS will accept the Form I-867 forms in lieu of providing a fee waiver) the dates listed in the petition do not constitute a formal interview date. I-766 and I-867 are not required to be completed before making an interview date for admission to the United States. If you are applying for a non-immigrant visa, you will receive a letter from the consular officer informing you of your interview date. That letter will include a waiver form, which you must complete as a part of the form I-859. The waiver of required documentation to file an I-859 is granted only after showing why you believe that the consular officer or an immigration officer will be deceived or confused about certain elements of your situation and why you need the waiver (i.e.

What are the different types of I-9 ?

I-9 forms a summary of the applicant's personal history and any other matters pertaining to his/her job, including the period of employment, pay schedule, and other conditions of employment. The I-9 form usually contains any special instructions the employer requires or requests. Each employer is required to send the I-9 form, along with the employer's signature along with the Form I-9 and other documents, to the USCIS officer. The USCIS officer has the authority to issue an endorsement, with an expiration date, for the employer's employee, which permits the employee to work and stay in the United States. A copy of the employee's I-9 endorsement must be forwarded to the employer to certify the employee's status. If the USCIS officer approves the employment (see below), then the Form I-9 is filed with the US Department of Labor and is issued for three years, unless the I-9 is extended or denied. I-9 endorsements are valid for 3 years from the date the Form I-9 is filed. How can an employer request an employee's Form I-9 to validate the employment of an employee for 3 years? Employers are authorized to submit Form I-9 to the USCIS. This form is required by federal law to confirm the validity of the employment of an unauthorized immigrant in the United States and is useful as evidence of the employment. The employer must include a letter, stating the grounds for an employer's request for an I-9, which must be received by the USCIS officer. The letter must identify the employee and the employment. The letter must contain the type of employment, the date and place of employment, the job classification and the pay grade sought, and the duration of the application. The employer must send the Form I-9 to the USCIS within 5 working days after having received a copy from the employee. If the employee does not approve the request within three days, the request is automatically denied. The Form I-9 endorsement does not have an expiration date.

How many people fill out I-9 each year?

The U.S. Census Bureau reports that there were 5.2 million Americans who had a temporary visa in 2014. The Department of Homeland Security and Census Bureau do not publish precise figures on how many people fill out an I-9 every year, but the most common number is 10.3 million. Is it possible someone is hiding their permanent residence under the I-9? Yes. If someone is claiming permanent residence in the United States, he or she cannot receive a green card through an immigration lawyer. A person's green card status can change from green card to no status. To obtain a green card from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, an immigrant must prove he or she has been in the United States continuously and has met the requirements to become a U.S. citizen. A green card holder may be required to pay federal, state, and local taxes for an entire lifetime, unless his or her green card is being used to seek an employment contract. Can I get a green card through any other means? Yes. Although the U.S. has several other immigration-related green card pathways like employment agreements and fiancée visas, they do not grant permanent residence through any other legal path. Will my temporary work visa become permanent residence? U.S. citizens who hold a temporary visa and meet the other requirements to apply for permanent residence may apply for it through a work-sponsored application program. How does it work? The program is a process called sponsor, sponsor, sponsor. The program has an estimated 97 percent approval rate. It allows the foreign worker to apply for permanent residence by submitting his or her work authorization card as evidence of the authorization. It then directs the visa applicant to file his or her I-9 with DHS, and the DHS computer system scans these documents for any criminal convictions, deportation, or other relevant information. Does the work visa process have an expiry date? Yes.

Is there a due date for I-9 ?

If I-9's not due any sooner than 15 days after an application is filed, can I still file? Are there any conditions on what I can use I-9 for? Yes. Under I-9, a natural-born citizen shall file for naturalization if that person has not been in immigration or naturalization proceedings for 12 months before I-9 filing. A lawful permanent resident applicant is able to file at any time (except for the six years between I-9 filing and the month in which an individual becomes a citizen, if he or she files I-9 within that 12-month window). A person who is a noncitizen who has been physically present in the United States for less than a year from one year before I-9 filing through the month in which the individual becomes a citizen, is still able to file for naturalization beginning on the fourth month after the month of entry into the United States. I-9 filing can be done through any immigration or citizenship court as long as the information on it is false or knowingly false. If I-9's are filed after expiration of time limits, can I still file? No. An individual who does not file by the due date or fails to file after such a filing is discovered by the INS may be removed for having committed fraud or deceit or willfully and knowingly making false statements related to immigration or naturalization matters. I-9 filing does not guarantee admission and admission may depend on other factors, including medical, other information, family circumstances, and other circumstances. A waiver of inadmissibility to the United States will not waive inadmissibility to any other country. Does I-9 serve as a clearance certificate from the INS for employment, immigration and naturalization? No, the I-9 does not qualify as legal certification that the individual is eligible for admission to the country, and it is not a document considered to be evidence of the individual's admission. Only the Form I-797, Notice of Action or Consent to File, and Form I-797A, Affidavit of Support, are considered evidence that the individual has made a request for admission pursuant to INA 212(a)(1)(B) or that the individual or the individual's spouse or parent has signed a written statement of support for the individual's application and has provided the same documentation to the INS. Are there any restrictions on whom I may file for naturalization? No.
