The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has made minor changes to Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification. The new revised Form I-9 with an edition date 01/20/25 and an expiration date 05/31/2027 is now available for download, while multiple previous editions remain valid until their respective expiration dates. Specifically, the Form I-9 (08/01/23 edition) is valid until 05/31/2027.
The minor changes are:
- Renamed the fourth checkbox in Section 1 to “An alien authorized to work.”
- Revised the descriptions of two List B documents in the Lists of Acceptable Documents.
- Added appropriate statutory language and a revised DHS Privacy Notice.
E-Verify will also have some minor updates, including: (1) the selection “A noncitizen authorized to work” will be updated to “An alien authorized to work.”; and (2) E-Verify cases will display “An alien authorized to work,” while employees and employers may continue to see “A noncitizen authorized to work” on Form I-9.
