U.S. Employer Compliance and Corporate Immigration Services
Ensuring Compliance with Employment Eligibility Requirements:
All U.S. employers must verify the employment eligibility and identity of their employees, including U.S. citizens, by completing Form I-9. Failure to comply with these requirements can result in severe civil and criminal penalties for knowingly hiring or retaining unauthorized workers. As federal and state immigration enforcement intensifies, accurately completing and maintaining Form I-9 records is essential.
