Dear Stakeholder, The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) have announced an extension of the Form I-9 requirement flexibilities that were set to expire on August 31, 2021. Because of ongoing precautions related to COVID-19, this temporary guidance has been extended until December 31, 2021. The extension applies to the initial March 20, 2020 announcement that employers only need to inspect employees' Form I-9 identity and employment eligibility documentation in person for employees who physically report to work at a company location. Those hired exclusively in a remote setting are temporarily exempt from the in-person physical inspection requirements. More Information Visit the USCIS I-9 Central website for further guidance. The CIS Ombudsman is dedicated to assisting individuals and employers seeking to resolve problems with USCIS whenever possible. For more information on our office, please visit our website. Please complete the CIS Ombudsman Customer Satisfaction Survey. We appreciate your feedback. |
