Form I-9: Employment Eligibility Verification

[SaRy 73]

Hello,

 

I have a question regarding Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification.

 

So I recently got a job and the form is asking for my home address. The thing is that I am moving to a new house next week and I haven't updated my address on USCIS website yet. So should I go ahead and update it on USCIS website now so I can also use it for the form even if I haven't moved yet (on USCIS website it says to update the address within 10 days of moving)?

 

My other question is, since I arrived to the USA on K-1 visa and I'm in the process of adjusting my status (still waiting for an interview), which category do I fit in (1, 2, 3 or 4) on the I-9 form?

 

 

Quote

 

I attest, under penalty of perjury, that I am (check one of the following boxes):

1. A citizen of the United States

2. A noncitizen national of the United States (See instructions)

3. A lawful permanent resident (Alien Registration Number/USCIS Number):

4. An alien authorized to work

 

 

 

Thank you

I'd go with your current address, but either should work really.

Yes, update your address online within 10 days of moving. It's technically required but they don't really enforce it...but if you have an existing case then you don't want to miss out on any documents they may send you (RFE, interview notice, etc.). If the I-864 moves as well, they need to complete an I-865 too.

 

#4 - An alien authorized to work. An EAD will be required as evidence of this. Your timeline doesn't show you having one, but I'm assuming you do since you are completing an I-9. If not, you are not authorized to work.

Once you get a green card, use #3. Also go to the SSA to get a new Social Security card without the EAD restriction.

If you become a citizen eventually, use #1.

Thank you, geowrian! I think I'm going to update my address on USCIS today or tomorrow and put it in the form as well since we're moving in 3 or 4 days anyway.

 

So in addition to updating the address myself on the USCIS website (DHS), my husband also has to also fill out Form I-864 on my behalf and mail it to USCIS?

In that form you can specify the intended moving date, so I think we can fill it out and send it even before moving, which is good.

 

I do have an EAD/AP combo card (received last May). I've just updated my Timeline, sorry about that.
