23. Slide 23 In addition to Reference Manual for Processing Non-US Citizen I-9s, I-9 preparers should be familiar with the Handbook for Employers [M-274]. The Handbook was created by U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services to inform employers how to properly complete and update I-9 forms. http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/m-274.pdf Additional Reference Resources

24. Slide 24 http://www.uscis.gov/I-9Central JHUs Employment Eligibility Verification webpage: http://hrnt.jhu.edu/policies/form_i_9_e_verify.cfm Additional Reference Resources

25. Slide 25 A blank FNIF or instructions for accessing the fill able form should be provided by the I-9 preparer. The FNIF form will assist the hiring department in completing the ISR in SAP. It is strongly recommended that the FNIF be distributed with the Walk-In Hours and contact information for the Tax Office. It is important that non-U.S. citizens complete the FNIF form when they begin employment at JHU or re-verify their employment due to a change of status. The form is available on the Controller website: http://finance.jhu.edu/depts/tax/fnif.pdf

26. Slide 26 E-Verify – Initial Case Results After the I-9 preparer attests to the information entered in Section 2 and electronically signs the I-9, the information must be validated in E- verify. **If the individual does not have a SSN, their information will not be sent to E-verify until they report their SSN to Payroll**

27. Slide 27 Possible Initial Case Results Employment Authorized This response means that the employee is authorized to work in the United States. A case that is Employment Authorized is incomplete until it is closed.

28. Slide 28 Possible Initial Case Results DHS Verification in Process I-9 has been completed, but a response has not yet been returned by E- Verify. The case is automatically referred to DHS for further verification. No action is required by at this time. DHS will respond to most of these cases within 24 hours, although some responses may take up to three federal government workdays. Preparers will need to check E-Verify daily for a responses.

29. Slide 29 Initial Case Results SSA or DHS Tentative Non-Confirmation [TNC] A response of SSA Tentative Non-Confirmation indicates the information on the employees I-9 did not match information on record with the Social Security Administration (SSA) or the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). A Non-Confirmation does not mean that the individual is not authorized to work. The I-9 preparer must advise the individual of the TNC and the employee must choose to contest (i.e. follow the prescribed steps to correct the problem) or not contest. Individuals who indicate they do not wish to contest must immediately be referred to the appropriate Divisional Human Resources Office [staff] or appropriate academic department [all non-staff positions and appointments]. This requires immediate action by the hiring department or Division H.R. before case can be resolved in E-Verify

30. Slide 30 E-Verify – Interim Case Results An interim case result requires additional action before E-Verify can provide a final case result.

31. Slide 31 Possible Interim Case Results SSA or DHS Incomplete In some instances, there is a discrepancy in data between what has been entered by the Non-Citizen or I-9 prepare and what exists in DHS and SSA records. This may be as simple as a typographical error or incorrect information. Review the information entered in I-9 eXpress with the employee for correctness. Click Continue. Follow steps based on case result.

32. Slide 32 Possible Interim Case Results SSA or DHS Case in Continuance This response means that the employee is has visited SSA or contacted DHS, but more time is needed to determine a final case result.

33. Slide 33 Other E-Verify Results DHS No Show I-9 preparers will need to notify the employee to contact E-Verify immediately if their case results in a DHS No Show. It is important that Case Resolution Division review the record and issue a letter confirming that employment is authorized. The letter should be scanned and attached in i-9 eXpress. PHOTO MATCHING I-9 preparers are already familiar with photo matching for U.S. passports. I-9 preparers will now be required to complete photo matching for Form I-551 [Green Card] and Form I-766 [Employment Authorization Document/EAD].

34. Slide 34 When an employees employment authorization document expires, you must re-verify his or her employment authorization using Section 3 of the I-9. US Citizens and noncitizen nationals never need re-verification. Re-verification

35. Slide 35 Updating Section 3 is similar to completing Section 2 when an employee is hired. The I-9 Preparer selects the document from the list that the Non-US Citizen presents verifying their extended work authorization. Re-verification

36. Slide 36 Employees whose immigration status, employment authorization, or employment authorization documents expire should file the necessary application or petition sufficiently in advance to ensure that they maintain continuous employment authorization or valid employment authorization documents. Re-verification Departments and Divisions should monitor the expiration dates of their employees using the Work Authorization/Visa Expiration Dates Report. This BW report displays the work authorization date and visa type for all employees or fellowship recipients whose residence status is nonresident alien A guide to accessing and running the report is available at: http://ssc.jhmi.edu/bin/g/a/bw_work_auth_rpt.pdf
