Form I-9: Employment Eligibility

An employer is required to verify that an employee is authorized to work in the United States. Therefore, your job offer letter should be a conditional job offer that includes proof of employment eligibility.

Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) needs to be completed by each employee no later than the time of hire. Employers must complete the Form I-9 within three (3) business days of the date employment began. It is prudent to complete the Form I-9 the first date of employment to ensure that the deadline is met.
