Use Form I-9 to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States. All U.S. employers must properly complete Form I-9 for every individual they hire for employment in the United States.
It may include the following information: Employer address. Name and address of the company requesting verification. Employee name. Employment dates. Employee job title. Employee job description. Employee current salary. Reason for termination (If applicable)
Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, is the core of E-Verify. E-Verify is an internet-based system that compares information from Form I-9 to government records to confirm that an employee is authorized to work in the U.S.
We don't require you to have an SSN before you start working. However, the Internal Revenue Service requires employers to use your SSN to report your wages. While you wait for your SSN, your immigration documents can prove your authorization to work in the United States.
Employees must enter their current address, apartment number (if any), city or town, state and ZIP code. If the residence is not located in a city or town, enter the village, county, township, reservation, etc.
As a foreign national, you are only authorized to work in the United States with a valid nonimmigrant visa. You are not legally authorized to work with an SSN alone. You must have a valid work visa to be legally authorized to work.
Employees must have one of these qualifying eligibility categories to receive an automatic extension of their employment authorization and/or EAD validity: A03, A05, A07, A08, A10, A17, A18, C08, C09, C10, C16, C20, C22, C24, C26, C31, and A12 or C19.
The good news is that these two categories mean the same thing—both refer to individuals who have filed Form I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status) and are waiting for their green card approval.

Other foreign nationals whose immigration status authorizes them to work in the United States without restrictions may also use Form I-765 to apply to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) for an EAD that shows such authorization.
