Albuquerque Employment Visa I-9 Lawyer

Information About the I-9 Employment Form

In accordance with the Immigration Reform and Control Act (IRCA) of 1986, employers are required to verify that each employee hired is eligible to work in the United States. This verification is made possible through use of a form called the I-9. This form must be completed for all employees hired, regardless of their nationality and whether they are a United States citizen. If an employer fails to verify a person's employment eligibility through the I-9, that employer can be found guilty of violating federal immigration law.
