Your I-9 Is Correct. Your Employee's Work Authorization Isn't.
Most I-9 problems with foreign national employees don't start with bad paperwork. They start with a gap between what HR knows and what immigration law actually requires.
An employee returns from international travel with a truncated I-94 and keeps working. An H-1B extension is pending but the I-94 has expired. A visa stamp runs out and HR assumes the employee can no longer work. An acquisition closes and no one tells HR what happens to the I-9s.
In each of these situations, the I-9 HR completed was technically correct at the time. The problem is what happened after.
In this session, Raj Singh and HR consultant Bryan Driscoll walk through four real scenarios that HR teams face regularly and get wrong. No theory. No overview of the form itself. Just the specific situations that create compliance risk and exactly what to do.

Why Attend Section
Why Attend
We will cover four I-9 scenarios that HR teams at companies with sponsored employees face regularly:
- The I-94 Truncation Problem: An employee returns from international travel and their I-94 has been shortened by a CBP officer. The employee keeps working. HR doesn't know. We walk through exactly what happened, what HR can do, and what process to put in place so it doesn't happen again.
- The 240-Day Rule: An H-1B extension is pending and the I-94 has expired. Most HR teams either stop the employee's payroll or have no idea the 240-day rule exists. We explain what documentation HR needs and how to stay compliant during the waiting period.
- Visa Stamp vs. Work Authorization: A sponsored employee's visa stamp expires. HR assumes they can no longer work and escalates. We clarify what a visa stamp actually is, why it has nothing to do with work authorization, and what document HR should be looking at instead.
- I-9 After an Acquisition: Your company acquires another. HR inherits a roster of foreign national employees with I-9s completed by someone else. We cover what you are required to do, what you are allowed to do, and what the most common mistakes are.
- Live Q&A: Bring your own scenarios for Raj and Bryan.
