: Business Alert – Changes to Form I-9 for All Employers

(This was originally sent to our clients, colleagues and friends on December 9, 2007.)

USCIS (formerly known as the Immigration and Naturalization Service) has adopted a new Form I-9 which all employers must begin using on December 26, 2007. In short, USCIS is stepping up its enforcement of work place compliance with U. S. immigration laws. There are penalties for failure to adhere to the new rules.

Coleman & Gagnon has prepared a brief Client Advisory which includes Common Questions/Practical Answers regarding the new Form I-9 and the related USCIS rules. The Client Advisory, as well as a copy of the new Form I-9 and its instructions, are available at our website at the following link:

If you would prefer to receive the Client Advisory and Form I-9 documentation by email or U. S. mail, please email us and we will send them to you promptly.

Please contact me if you have any questions. Thank you.
