Do the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has issued a new I-9 form, with a revision date of August 7, 2009. The new form will be valid until August 31, 2012. The form can be: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf
There are no substantive changes in the new form so the old form, with a revision date of February 2, 2009, is still acceptable. However, that form is likely to be eliminated at some point, so it’s probably wise to start using the new form now.
Employers will have to use a new I-9 Form beginning on February 2, 2009. The new Form includes changes to the types of documents that may be accepted to demonstrate identity and employment authorization. The modifications include:
All documents must be unexpired. In the past an expired passport was acceptable.
List A documents no longer include Form I-688 Temporary Resident Cards; Form I-688A Employment Authorization Card; and Form I-688B Employment Authorization Card.
List A will now include certain foreign passports containing machine-readable immigrant visas and the new U.S. Passport Card.
The new I-9 Form is scheduled to be available on the USCIS website on February 2. Go to: www.uscis.gov .
