Good morning:

Effective today, July 17, 2017, revisions have been made to the existing Form I-9.  Specifics from the USCIS are found below:



USCIS released a revised version of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTcwNzE3Ljc1OTc5MDMxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE3MDcxNy43NTk3OTAzMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NDMyNTIyJmVtYWlsaWQ9cGFtZWxsYS5qb2huc29uQHN0YXRlLm9yLnVzJnVzZXJpZD1wYW1lbGxhLmpvaG5zb25Ac3RhdGUub3IudXMmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&100&&&https://www.uscis.gov/i-9>, on July 17. Instructions for how to download Form I-9 are available on the Form I-9 page. Employers can use this revised version or continue using Form I-9 with a revision date of 11/14/16 N through Sept. 17. On Sept. 18, employers must use the revised form with a revision date of 07/17/17 N. Employers must continue following existing storage and retention rules<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbWFpbGluZ2lkPTIwMTcwNzE3Ljc1OTc5MDMxJm1lc3NhZ2VpZD1NREItUFJELUJVTC0yMDE3MDcxNy43NTk3OTAzMSZkYXRhYmFzZWlkPTEwMDEmc2VyaWFsPTE3NDMyNTIyJmVtYWlsaWQ9cGFtZWxsYS5qb2huc29uQHN0YXRlLm9yLnVzJnVzZXJpZD1wYW1lbGxhLmpvaG5zb25Ac3RhdGUub3IudXMmZmw9JmV4dHJhPU11bHRpdmFyaWF0ZUlkPSYmJg==&&&101&&&https://www.uscis.gov/i-9-central/retain-and-store-form-i-9> for any previously completed Form I-9.
Revisions to the Form I-9 instructions:

  *   We changed the name of the Office of Special Counsel for Immigration-Related Unfair Employment Practices to its new name, Immigrant and Employee Rights Section.
  *   We removed "the end of" from the phrase "the first day of employment."

Revisions related to the List of Acceptable Documents on Form I-9:

  *   We added the Consular Report of Birth Abroad (Form FS-240) to List C. Employers completing Form I-9 on a computer will be able to select Form FS-240 from the drop-down menus available in List C of Sections 2 and 3. E-Verify users will also be able to select Form FS-240 when creating a case for an employee who has presented this document for Form I-9.
  *   We combined all the certifications of report of birth issued by the Department of State (Form FS-545, Form DS-1350, and Form FS-240) into selection C #2 in List C.
  *   We renumbered all List C documents except the Social Security card. For example, the employment authorization document issued by the Department of Homeland Security on List C changed from List C #8 to List C #7.

Thank you.
