Duration: 60 minutes

Federal immigration compliance has entered a new phase of increased enforcement, creating greater risk for employers. More I-9 audits, Notices of Inspection (NOIs) and shifting enforcement priorities are making compliance more complex. At the same time, employers must address ongoing employment authorization and reverification challenges while keeping pace with federal and state efforts to expand E-Verify requirements. For organizations with multistate operations or large workforces, the stakes are higher than ever.

In this 60-minute webinar, immigration law attorneys Nathalie Fassie and Tommy Jones of Fragomen, Del Rey, Bernsen & Loewy will review the latest developments in employment eligibility verification and workplace immigration compliance. They’ll provide practical guidance on navigating heightened enforcement activity, including ICE’s reclassification of many I-9 violations from technical to substantive violations and the resulting limitations on correcting errors. They will also address common reverification and recordkeeping issues and provide an update on proposed federal and state E-Verify expansions.

Attendees will learn how to:

  • Identify I-9 errors that may now be treated as substantive violations
  • Respond effectively to Notices of Inspection
  • Strengthen internal I-9 audit practices and compliance procedures
  • Prepare for potential expansion of E-Verify requirements
  • And more!
