TABLE OF CHANGES - FILLABLE FORM

Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification

Revision Date: 03/30/2016


Reason for Revision: Despite the agency’s continued efforts at improving the form and instructions, employers and employees continue to make errors when filling out the form. On January 20, 2011, stakeholders requested USCIS develop a Form I-9 that incorporates functionality and assistance tools to mitigate or prevent employer and employee error when completing the form.


Feature or Field Name

Current Form I-9, 03/08/13 N
If field is blank, item does not exist on current form or there is no change to current text.


Proposed Revision

These proposed revisions will appear to all users, whether the form is filled in using a computer or on paper.

Hover Text

A new proposed feature provides abbreviated instructions for completing the field when user fills in form fields on a computer. Hover text appears when user hovers mouse over a field that includes this feature.


Helper Text

A new proposed feature that provides more instructions for completing a field when user fills in form fields on a computer and clicks the ? icon included on most fields.


Drop-Down

Lists of selectable items have been added or updated. Drop-downs appear when user fills in form fields using a computer.

Error Messages

A new proposed feature visible when Form I-9 is filled in on a computer. Error messages instruct a user to correct a field when information entered does not follow prescribed form requirements.

Instructions Button


New button viewed in the top margin when viewing the form on a computer will contain a hyperlink once the form is approved by OMB to take users directly to the Form instructions located on the USCIS forms page. This allows for instant access to form instructions when the form is completed using a computer, precluding the need for employers to print out form instructions when using a computer. Button will not be visible when form is printed.

Once OMB approves the form, this hover text will read, “Instructions”.


However, to allay any public confusion, the hover text currently reads: “Proposed instructions are not yet available via this button. View them in the supporting documents to the I-9 Federal Register notice.” Once OMB approves the form and instructions, this button will link directly to the instructions.
