WASHINGTON - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today that the Office of Management and Budget has extended its approval of Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) to Aug. 31, 2012. Consequently, USCIS has amended the form to reflect a new revision date of Aug. 7, 2009.

Employers may use the Form I-9 with the revision date of either Aug. 7, 2009 or Feb. 2, 2009. The revision dates are located on the bottom right-hand portion of the form.

For more information on USCIS and its programs, or to obtain Form I-9 and the Handbook for Employers, see the corresponding link to the right under "Related Links." Employers who do not have computer access can order the Form I-9 by calling our toll-free forms line at (800) 870-3676.
