Both Form I-9 and E-Verify are requirements<\/a> that employers need to meet in order to maintain a legal workforce. They require that each employee fill up the I-9 form within 3 days of joining the organization. He or she has to fill in Section I of the form after acceptance of the Offer of Employment.<\/p>\n

Employers, on the other hand, need to fill in Section 2 of the same form even if they have opted for E-Verify.<\/p>\n

So, Form I-9 and E-verify<\/a><\/u> are different. Every employer has to maintain a Form I-9. E-Verify, on the other hand, is optional. Employers who have enrolled in E-verify need to confirm the details of their new employees electronically. But this is not the only unique thing about Form I-9<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
