The USCIS has announced that it has submitted an interim final rule to the Federal Register that will streamline the Employment Eligibility Verification (Form I-9) process.

The interim final rule narrows down the list of acceptable identity documents and further specifies that it will no longer accept expired documents. An expansive document list makes it much more difficult for employers to verify valid and acceptable forms and single out false documents compromising the security of the Form I-9 process. Within the changes included – the interim final rule will significantly improve the security of the employment eligibility verification process.
