USCIS has revised its initial guidance of November 7, 2007 to clarify that employers should begin using the new Form I-9 immediately. However, recognizing employers' need to transition to the amended form, DHS will not seek penalties from employers who use prior versions of the Form during a transition period. That period will end 30 days after the publication of an official notice to this effect in the Federal Register. We will advise you when the notice is published.

Proskauer Rose LLP counsels corporate clients and their employees in all areas of immigration, nationality and consular law. This includes obtaining work authorizations and visas to enable companies to hire aliens or transfer personnel between nations; compliance with and defense of anti-discrimination and unlawful immigration practices; and advice and appearances in special circumstance matters such as asylum claims and removal proceedings. Much of the work involves obtaining appropriate non-immigrant or immigrant visas to enable corporations to transfer executives, managers, persons with specialized knowledge or other key personnel temporarily or permanently to the United States.
