Form I-9 is a vital piece of document that every employee has to fill up in order to prove his or her eligibility to work in the U.S. It needs to be filled up and submitted within three days of joining. However, just filling it out does not serve the purpose. You also need to submit all the required documents that establish your claims made in the form. The employee has to fill in section I and submit all the documents as relevant to him or her, and the employer scrutinizes the claims and the documents given in support of that.
