Executive Summary: After a lengthy delay and extensive comment period, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) released today a revised Form I-9 (Rev. 03/08/13 N). Employers may download the new form by visiting the USCIS web site at: http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf. The government has made several significant changes to the Form I-9, which must be used by all employers to verify the identity and employment eligibility of new hires to confirm they are authorized to work in the United States. Although prior versions of the Form I-9 will remain valid for use until May 7, 2013, we encourage employers to begin using the revised form immediately.
