The Form I-9 remains the foundational employment eligibility verification requirement under federal law, and every employer — whether or not enrolled in E-Verify — must complete and retain a Form I-9 for each employee hired

An E-Verify case must be created only after the employer (or authorized representative) has completed Section 2 of Form I-9

The E-Verify process must not be used to pre-screen applicants or candidates prior to an offer of employment

All new hires must complete Section 1 of Form I-9 no later than the first day of employment

The employer must complete Section 2 no later than the end of the third business day after the employee's first day of employment

The E-Verify case must be initiated promptly after Section 2 is completed, subject to the timing requirements set forth in Section IV below
