If you thought USCIS was catching up with the 21st century, think again! USCIS recently issued updated guidance regarding the signature requirement for the USCIS fillable version of the Form I-9. Even though the Form I-9 is an electronic fillable form, USCIS has clarified that employers/employees must still print and manually sign the form rather than typing or electronically signing signatures. Thus, employers and employees using the fillable version of the Form I-9 may electronically type answers directly into the form, except for the signature blocks. Any I-9s that have been completed with an electronic signature are noncompliant and need to be corrected. For more info, see this link.
