I am at a new job and work in the HR department. I noticed my new job has not been keeping I-* records on file. How do I rectify this situation?
****, the first step would be to start maintaining I-* records immediately for all current employees. You should:
- Collect completed I-* forms from all employees.
- Ensure forms are filled out correctly and completely.
- Store I-* forms securely and separately from other employee records.
Are you aware of the penalties for non-compliance with I-* record-keeping?
