Now that you’ve gotten the January 22, 2017 I-9 under control, you will undoubtedly be pleased to learn that a new I-9 was released on July 17, 2017 and will become mandatory on September 18, 2017. Either the January 22 or July 17 form may be used until then.
The new form will be available from the USCIS website. Most of the changes are minor, technical ones, such as updating the name of the pertinent agency Section, improving the grammar and renumbering. There are, however, a few substantive changes in the lists of acceptable documents – so be sure to check those lists carefully in order to assure that you are receiving the correct documents.
If you need assistance with the new I-9 or any employment law and labor relations matter, please contact one of our attorneys in that practice area.
