U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is presenting a stake holder conference on Tuesday, May 7, 2013 at 2:30 p.m. (Eastern Time). The teleconference addresses revisions to the Employment Eligibility Verification Form I-9 and the form's instructions. USCIS subject matter experts will discuss and answer questions about the revised form. These changes were published in a Federal Register notice on March 8, 2013. The changes include:
- Expanding the form to two pages.
- A redesign that ensures the form is in line with current design standards.
- Changes in font and font size, and placing the instructions in a one-column format.
- Expanded instructions that now more clearly describe:
- Information employees must enter in Section 1;
- Employers’ responsibilities for Section 2;
- Employer responsibilites, including when reverification is necessary, for Section 3.
