Narrator: Employers must complete Form I-9 to verify the identity and employment authorization of new employees, both U.S. citizens and non-citizens. Employees complete Section 1 and employers complete Sections 2 and 3. This video shows how employers fill out Section 2 when using a computer to complete a Form I-9 obtained from the USCIS website. First, employers must ensure that employees have access to the form, instructions, and Lists of Acceptable Documents. Employers must either provide employees with printed copies or ensure employees have access to them online. Anyone can access the instructions from the Form I-9 web page. When connected to the Internet, you can access these instructions directly from the Form I-9 by clicking the instructions button at the top of each page. Even without Internet access, employers and employees using a computer can move the cursor over fields or click on the question marks to see instructions. Let's see how employers or their authorized representatives must complete Section 2. First, employers should review Section 1 to ensure employees completed it properly. Once the employee presents identity and employment authorization documents, the employer must ensure they are acceptable for Form I-9. Employers must enter information from the employee's documents in Section 2. Employers must complete and sign Section 2 within three business days of the employee's first day of employment. If the employer and employee complete the form together, the citizenship or immigration status the employee selected and the name entered in Section 1 are automatically available in the fields at the top of Section 2. If the employer and employee do not complete the form together, the employer must open a blank form, go to the top of Section 2, and enter the employee's name and the number next to the Citizenship or Immigration Status box the employee checked in Section 1. Completing the Citizenship and Immigration Status box activates the drop-down menus in the List A, B and C columns. The columns relate to the citizenship or immigration status the employee checked in Section 1. For example, the employee checks box 1 in Section 1 and presents a U.S. passport. The employer selects "1" in the Citizenship and Immigration Status in Section 2. When the employer clicks "Document Title" under List A, the employer can select the U.S. passport from the drop-down menu. Employers must always ensure that Section 1 and any extra pages generated for multiple preparers and translators are properly completed, printed and signed. If an employee presents documents from List A, select the documents from the first drop-down list in the first column. Entering documents in the List A column automatically fills Lists B and C with "N/A." To reopen Lists B and C, choose "N/A" from the first List A drop-down. If an employee presents List B and C documents, select the List B document from the first drop-down in the second column, and the List C document from the first drop-down in the third column. Entering documents in List B or...
