The U.S Citizenship and
Immigration Services (USCIS) division of the Department of Homeland Security
released four video vignettes for employees and employers about Form I-9, the
Employment Eligibility Verification Form. One video discusses the rights and
responsibilities of employees while the other three walk employees and employers through the
process of completing each of the three parts of the form. Each vignette walks
the viewer through the key steps in four minutes of less.
The video on section 1
of Form I-9 describes the section of the form that
must be completed by the employee. It explains each data field, highlights the
new optional phone number and email address fields, and demonstrates the
process for completing the new foreign passport and country of issuance data
fields. USCIS suggests that employers make this video available to new
employees.
The videos for employers, which
cover section 2
and section 3
of the form, illustrate important deadlines and instructions, explains
employers’ responsibilities, and includes important reminders. Also provided is
information on the reverification and rehiring part of the form, often the most
confusing part for employers.
For more information on
completing Form I-9, employers may visit I-9 Central or view the Handbook for
Employers: Guidance for Completing Form I-9 (M-274).
