Employment eligibility verification is a form that all employers in the United States must fill out and retain for each individual they hire for employment within the country. This form includes citizens and non citizens, so it has no bearing on a visa status as it is across the board. The employment eligibility verification is known as the I-9 form and on it an employer must examine the employment eligibility of each and every individual that works for them. As an employer hires a new individual, they must review the required documents that an individual presents to determine that they meet the requirements and show the status of their eligibility to work overall. This information is recorded and indicated with the I-9 form that is filed as a part of the individual's personal record.
