Greetings Everyone! Hopefully you have had an opportunity to go over the Revised Form I-9 and instructions. A few things need to be mentioned: First, I understand we still have a few older I-9's in the pipeline, but please start using the Revised I-9 immediately. The Form I-9 OMB with the Revision date of 03/08/13 N (located at the bottom left corner) will no longer be accepted after January 21, 2017. USCIS has said it IS acceptable to print the 15 pages of instructions ONCE and to use them repeatedly for each employee to read when they are completing the Form I-9. I keep a notebook on my desk with the instructions available. On page one there is a shaded box under the employee signature and today's date fields. The employee MUST check ONE of the two boxes: "I did not use a prepare or translator" OR " A preparer(s) and/or translator assisted the employee in completing Section 1." See attached On page two there is shaded box of instructions at the top, the EMPLOYER is to enter the employees last name, first name and middle initial (if applicable) AND enter the numeric value of the citizenship/immigration status that the employee attested to on page one. See attached Lastly, you can go to your internet browser, enter www.uscis.gov, scroll to the bottom of the web page and under 'Verification" click the second choice: 'I-9 Central.' Once there, the ninth choice is 'Form I-9 Widget' that you can download and save to your desktop for printing the Form I-9. Cathy Milligan
