San Diego Immigration Attorney

We have attorneys expert on all matters related to immigration because we are aware that these things are generally complicated and hard to follow for a common layman, especially, when it is corporate audits and compliance. The Immigration Reform and Control Act released in 1986 authorize employers to comply with the employment eligibility verification form. Compliance is a must but may seem to be complicated without the proper assistance of any knowledgeable immigration attorney.

Employers should fill and secure a form I-9 for each person who was signed up on or after 6th November, 1986. It is a must that the form I-9 should be filled within three working days from the date when the employment begins. Though there is no intension of replacing legal advice on questions related to corporate compliance, basic information for employers on employment authorization documents and acceptable identity could be found in the USCIS handbook meant for employers.

E-verify is a system based on the internet that is operated with the help of the Department of Homeland Security hand in hand with the Social Security Administration (SSA) that helps in the verification of electronic employment eligibility. Federal laws, state laws and government regulations are still evolving on the requirements for employer registration. For all sorts of assistance and guidance regarding the compliance of immigration laws, you may feel free to contact us at immigration lawyers at San Diego.
