Reminder: I-9s for H-1Bs effective October 1, 2019

If your company filed for an H-1B worker in the annual H-1B lottery and the petition was approved, these new H-1B statuses should have effective start dates of October 1, 2019.  As such, the employee “status” may be changing from one status to that of H-1B. Employers must either: 1) execute an I-9 for a new employee; or 2) update/reverify the current I-9 to capture this change of status.

If you have questions about I-9 compliance, please feel free to schedule a consultation with our I-9 team (info@iandoli.com).
