Temporary Visas

The non-immigrant visa classification covers a broad range of visas used to enter the United States for work, pleasure or study. Some visas are considered ‘dual status’; you may attempt to obtain permanent residency (a green card) while under that classification. Most non-immigrant visas, however, require you establish the demonstration of non-immigrant intent. This means you should demonstrate that you have a permanent residence in your home country that you have no intention of abandoning. The duration of time you may spend in the US can range from a few days to several years, depending on the visa. In most situations, your spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 may accompany you on a derivative visa. View more.

I-9 Compliance

The United States has employer sanctions, including criminal and civil penalties, against employers that hire persons who are not legally authorized to work in the U.S. In order to comply with the law against hiring unauthorized workers, all U.S. employers are required to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all new employees, including U.S. citizens and permanent residents. This is done by recording employee information on Form I-9 and reviewing documents listed on the back of I-9 forms that establish both the employee’s identity and eligibility to work. Every employer, regardless of size or number of employees must undertake this employment verification process.

Forms I-9 must be updated when the document provided by the employee for employment authorization has an expiration date. Therefore, I-9s should be regularly audited. I-9s must be retained for a period of 3 years or 1 year after the employee’s termination date. I-9s are not required for persons employed for casual domestic work in a private home on a sporadic, irregular or intermittent basis; persons who are independent contractors; or persons who provide labor who are employed by a contractor providing contract services.

Nguyen & Segura helps companies to create I-9 compliance plans and conducts internal audits. Please contact us if you require assistance in this area.
