USCIS suggests changes in I-9 protocols that could potentially affect all U.S. employers

From Dawn M. Lurie and Kevin Lashus of GT’s Business Immigration & Compliance team

During last month’s E-Verify redesign training, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) innocently "reminded" employers that companies have three days after an employee’s date of hire to open a case in E-Verify. Interestingly, USCIS also proposed that this four day or "Thursday rule" apply to the timing for completing Section 2 of the Form I-9.

Greenberg Traurig’s Business Immigration and Compliance Group has prepared a GT Alert discussing several concerns regarding this clarification and the way it has been disseminated. Link to the GT Alert here.
