USCIS Revises I-9

The following two documents have been added to List A on the list of acceptable documents, which documents both identity and employment authorization:  a temporary I-551 printed notation on a machine-readable immigrant visa in addition to the foreign passport with a temporary I-551 stamp and a passport from the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) or the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) with a valid I-94 or I-94A indicating nonimmigrant admission under the Compact of Free Association Between the United States and the FSM or RMI.  The following three documents have been removed from List A of the list of acceptable documents:  Form I-688, Temporary Resident Card, Form I-688A, Employment Authorization Card, and Form I-688B, Employment Authorization Card.  Employers must use the revised Form I-9 for all new hires and to reverify any employee with expiring employment authorization beginning on February 2, 2009.  The current version of the Form I-9 (dated 06/05/2007) will no longer be valid at that time.
