USCIS Seeks Comments On Proposed Changes To Form I9

USCIS published a notice in the Federal Register on Nov. 24, 2015, to inform the public of proposed changes to Form I9, Employment Eligibility Verification. The public may provide comments on the proposed changes for 60 days, until Jan. 25, 2015.

Many of the proposed changes to Form I9 are intended to help reduce technical errors and help customers complete the form on their computer after they have downloaded it from uscis.gov. For instance, the form:

• Checks certain fields to ensure information is entered correctly;
• Provides additional spaces to enter multiple preparers and translators;
• Includes dropdown lists and calendars;
• Provides instructions on the screen that users can access to complete each field;
