Revised I-9 Form, A No-Go On The No Match Issue And E-Verify

Revised I-9 Form

On November 7, 2007, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that a revised Employment Eligibility Verification Form (I-9) is now available for use. The revised I-9 Form seeks to achieve full compliance with the document reduction requirements of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 (IIRIRA).

Under the revised I-9 Form five documents previously acceptable to prove both identity and employment eligibility were removed from List A. These are: Certificates of U.S. Citizenship (Form N-560 or N-561), Certificates of Naturalization (Form N-550 or N-570); Alien Registration Receipt Cards (Form I-151), Unexpired Reentry Permits (Form I-327) and Unexpired Refugee Travel Documents (Form I-571). All were removed because they lacked features to prevent counterfeiting and fraud.
