USCIS Posts Suggestions from Stakeholders on I-9 Form Improvements
Thursday, December 9th, 2010USCIS has posted an Executive Summary of a listening session it hosted on November 2, 2010 regarding the Form I-9. The summary presents stakeholder comments, suggestions and concerns for how to improve the form itself and the overall I-9 process. There were many worthwhile suggestions that we hope USCIS will strongly consider.
In this climate of excessive worksite enforcement, we note that there was particular emphasis on USCIS providing better, more clear I-9 employer tools and support. Employers were also confused as to how to correct the I-9 form and who corrects what (which is covered in audits and training performed by qualified attorneys skilled in the area of employer compliance).
Should you wish to discuss your compliance concerns and issues, please contact our office. We also have an excellent employer compliance resource center that you can access at www.I-9Audits.com.
