Two new articles have been added to our website that provide important details to employers regarding audits currently being conducted by contractors from the Kentucky Consular Center and the Department of State.  If you employ workers in nonimmigrant visa status (H, L, O, P, Q), you should review these articles carefully to ensure your designated representative is prepared to respond to these unannounced audit calls.

On July 22, 2010, DHS published a final rule in the Federal Registrer that amended an interim final rule dealing with the electronic signature and storage of Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.  The I-9 form is used by an employer to verify an employee's identity and to establish that the worker is eligible to accept employment in the United States.  Set to take effect on August 23, 2010, the final rule allows employers to complete, sign, scan and store Form I-9 electronically as long as certain performance standards are followed.
