What transactions are eligible for Section 2 correction?

• All the processes associated with the I-9 should be process completed
• I-9 should not be terminated 

How do you initiate Section 2 correction?

Navigate to I-9 Console and click on "Info and Actions" for the selected transaction.

Navigate to Actions tab and select "Initiate Section 2 Correction".

Note:

1. If there is any additional pending process for I-9, you will see the "Undo Last Filing" option in the actions, and other processes will not be accessible.

2. If I-9 is terminated, you will not see actions for initiating any process.

How do you complete Section 2 Correction process?

When Section 2 Correction is initiated, the process first navigates to the reason page. Here, you can indicate the reason for initiating the correction process and choose whether the correction process requires E-Verification.

Select an appropriate option from the list by clicking on the Reason dropdown. 

Note: "EAD Auto Extension" option is applicable exclusively for updating employee transactions who received automatic extension to their expiring EADs for 180 days. A process is run everyday in the system which identifies the transactions eligible for EAD Auto extension and generates corresponding I-9 tasks for them by extending their expiration date to 180 days in Section 2. The I-9 Specialist can access these transactions via their My Tasks console, review them and electronically sign as necessary.  For more details , please refer EAD Auto extension page.

In the "Other Notes" field, provide any additional notes that could be useful for auditing purposes.

Select the E-Verify option based on the requirement. If E-Verification is to be performed for the correction process, select "Perform E-Verify" as "Yes". If E-Verification is not needed, select "Perform E-Verify" as "No".

After entering the details, click on "Continue".

Note: You may revisit this page and make changes to your selection until Section 2 is signed. Once it is signed, you will not be allowed to make any changes. If you have created this correction in error and wish to cancel this process, use "Undo Last Filing" option in I-9 Console actions. For more details on this, please refer to further sections.

The process will navigate to Section 2 activity. If "Perform E-Verify" field is selected as "No" on the previous reason page, E-Verify activity will not be included in the process. Conversely, if "Perform E-Verify" field is selected as "Yes", E-Verify activity will be included in the process

The Section 2 activity opens up in edit mode with previous data populated in the fields. Make changes to the data as needed.

In the Additional Information enter if any note/comment has to be added. You can check or uncheck the "Check here if you used an alternative procedure authorized by DHS to examine documents" checkbox based on whether an alternative procedure is used for remote verification of documents. Note: This alternative process is allowed exclusively when the Legal Entity (Company/Business Unit) responsible for the employee's hiring is registered for E-Verify, which means the Company or Business Unit has been configured in the DHS Client Setup. If the legal Entity (Company/Business Unit) is not enrolled in E-Verify, this checkbox will appear disabled.

When this checkbox is selected, attaching supporting documents in Section 2 is required. If attachment is not provided, the following error message will be presented upon saving the Section 2 activity. For more details on uploading attachments in Section 2 activity, please click here.

Note: If Section 2 is assigned to a remote user, and the checkbox indicating "Check here if you used an alternative procedure authorized by DHS to examine documents" is checked by the remote user in Section 2, they must upload supporting documents when completing the Section 2 activity if no attachment is provided in Section 1. The I-9 Specialist need not provide the attachment while completing the Section 2 review unless they delete the attachment uploaded by the remote user. In this case, the system will prompt for an attachment during the completion of Section 2 review.

Note: Though the checkbox indicating "Check here if you used an alternative procedure authorized by DHS to examine documents" is not checked, you will still be prompted for uploading attachments in Section 2 especially if attachments are configured as mandatory in I-9 activities.

After entering all the details, check "I Agree" and click on "Electronically Sign".

This completes the Section 2 correction process. In this example, E-Verify has not been opted in the process. Therefore, the process didn't navigate to the E-Verify activity. In case if E-Verify had been opted, the process would have navigated to the E-Verify activity after completing Section 2.

How to undo the Section 2 Correction process?

When you initiate the Section 2 Correction process, the "Undo Last Filing" option for canceling this process remains accessible within the I-9 Console actions until the user has completed the Section 2 Correction process.

Navigate to I-9 Console and click on "Info and Actions" link for the selected transaction.
