What details can you see under Section 1?

Every transaction saved/signed by an employee and the preparers in Form I-9 Section 1 can be seen under this section. On the right side, you can see the number of transactions made in Section 1 and the links for navigating through them. All the transactions are effective dated/effective sequenced which makes easy to navigate through the data and identify a particular transaction. The most effective dated row is the latest transaction and if there are more than one row with the same effective date, the most effective sequenced row is the latest.

After expanding the scroll, the earliest transaction data is displayed under Section 1. Click "Correct History" to view all the previous dated transactions.

The following example shows three transactions in Section 1 and the lowest effective dated and effective sequenced row displayed by default.

Note: The lowest sequenced row is always '0' and as you keep navigating to the previous row, the effective sequence keeps incrementing based on the number of transactions made on that effective date. For a different effective date the sequence again starts from zero.

Click on First / Previous to navigate to the preceding rows and Next / Last to navigate to the succeeding rows. If you click "View All", all the rows display in sequential order with the most effective dated and the effective sequenced row on top.

Click "Previous" link to view the next earliest row in the sequence.

The details of the next earliest row is displayed as below. Note that the effective sequence is increased by one for the same effective date.

Click "Previous" link one more time to view the next earliest row. In this case, since there are only three rows, the third transaction is the latest row.

Where to verify reverification/rehire/name change details in I-9 Master?

Where to check E-Verify case details in I-9 Master?

In I-9 Master, the E-Verify case details are displayed under "Case Details" section. Click on the arrow preceding the section header as shown below.

Before the E-Verify case is created, the case details will be blank for that transaction.

After the E-Verify case is created, the "I-9 Case Identifier" and the "Case Number" populate under Case Details.

The lowest sequenced row is always '0' and it keeps increasing if there are more than one row with the same effective date. For a different effective date, the sequence again starts from zero.

In scenarios like restart activities or correction processes where a new DHS case is created for the additional process, a new row will be added under Case Details in the I-9 Master.

If the effective date is same, the effective sequence will be increased by one for each new row added or else if the effective date is different, a new row will be added with the new effective date and the effective sequence starting from zero.

Example: with same effective date, a new effective sequence row is added
