Employment Verification for Persons Applying for Citizenship
If you employ citizens and non-citizens of the United States, you are legally required to complete and retain form 1-9. Any immigrant applying for citizenship in the United States must provide a copy of this form with their citizenship application. It is your responsibility to make certain that the form is complete and to identify all pertinent documents given to you by the employee. These documents are listed on the last page of the form. Form 1-9 does not have to be submitted to the USCIS or to the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. You will need to retain it for at least three years from the date of hire and for one year after the employee leaves your company.
