Immigration Check-Up: Is Your CAA I-9 Compliant?

2019

In light of recent immigration raids of worksites across the country and a significant increase in investigations by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), CAAs should take a closer look at their Form I-9 compliance to ensure that they understand their obligations as employers and use the most current version of the form. The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) requires employers to complete a Form I-9 to verify the identity of each individual hired for employment in the U.S. and determine that they are legally authorized to work in the U.S. This FAQ provides practical guidance for CAAs looking to do a checkup of their I-9 procedures, and also offers tips for CAAs that discover they are not in compliance with I-9 requirements.
