In March 2020, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) announced temporary compliance flexibility for certain I-9 requirements. What was first a short-term action has become a longer-term change. The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) recently announced that I-9 compliance flexibility will continue into the new year with an extension of the policy until April 30, 2022.

DHS is exploring alternative options to physical document examination and stated it is interested in obtaining public input about experiences with remote document examination that can be used to inform and improve DHS policies and processes.

Employers and others can submit comments at regulations.gov. All comments are public and posted on the site. The commenting period runs through December 27, 2021, with late-filed comments considered to the extent practicable.
