I-9 Form: Lawful PR or Alien authorized to work???I married a US citizen several months ago and we have the adjustment of status interview scheduled on February 28th, 2011. I have a new employer who has offered me a position that starts during 2nd week of March, 2011. Obviously Ill want to present to the new employer my I-551 stamp for the I-9 form... if I have to submit I-9 before the interview, will I have to categorize myself as an alien authorized to work WITH my EAD? Or can I still categorize myself as a lawful permanent resident and submit my I-551 upon arrival on my first day of employment??? What should I do??
if I have to submit I-9 before the interview I would never fill out an I-9 without an offer of employment.
I cant recall being asked for an I-9 at an interview stage. Usually, I completed it at an orrientation session on my first day of work. Did they tell you to bring in the documents needed for the I-9 to the interview?
You fill out the I-9 AFTER you get hired.
