Completing the I-9 for an International Hire
The Form I-9 is used to verify the identity and employment authorization of individuals hired for employment in the United States. All U.S. employers must complete an I-9 for all new employees to verify employment eligibility. We have created this guide for employers and international hires, however, the Office of International Students, Scholars & Programs cannot provide specific advice about completing the I-9.
No SSN yet?
- Please contact the Human Resources Talent Acquisition Team to complete the I-9, if the employee has applied for a social security number but does not yet have one
Notes on the I-9
- See W&M's Form I-9 Resources for instructions on completing the I-9.
- An international employee must be in the U.S. to complete the
I-9, since the admission information (I-94) is often required. - Resources:
- I-9 Central
- For employees in F-1 and J-1 status, USCIS has provided a list of combination documents.
- Please also see USCIS I-9 Resource for International Students.
