The USCIS published a new version of the Form I-9 on November 14, 2016. Employers must begin using the new version, dated November 14, 2016, by January 22, 2017. Employers must stop using the Form I-9 with a revision date of March 8, 2013. by January 21, 2017. The revised Form I-9 is easier to complete on a computer. Enhancements include: drop-down lists and calendars for filling in dates; on-screen instructions for each field; easy access to the full instructions; revisions to Section 1 requesting "other last names used"; streamlined certification for certain foreign nationals; prompts to ensure information is entered accurately; ability to enter multiple preparers and translators; a dedicated area for including additional information rather than having to add it in the margins; and a supplemental page for the preparer/translator.

USCIS Reaches H-2B Cap for the First Half of Fiscal Year 2017

On January 12, 2017, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) reported that it has reached the H-2B cap for the first half of Fiscal Year 2017. The final receipt date for new H-2B petitions was January 10, 2017 requesting an employment start date before April 1, 2017. The USCIS will reject any new H-2B petitions received after January 10, 2017 with an employment start date before April 1, 2017.
