Initiate Section 2 Correction
- srigowri.a
- SriGowri Aspari
This action allows users to make changes to the previously recorded document details in Section 2.
Note: The option to initiate the reverification process will be available in the I-9 Console actions or Keyword Search actions in the "Employee I-9 Life Cycle" category only if the employee's I-9 is active and there are no associated I-9 processes with a pending status.
Who can initiate Section 2 Correction?
Users with the I-9 Specialist role can initiate Section 2 Correction.
What transactions are eligible for Section 2 correction?
The transactions eligible for Section 2 correction will satisfy the following changes:
- There should be no process in pending status associated with the I-9.
- The I-9 must be active which means I-9 should not have a termination date set to the current date or in the past.
How do you initiate Section 2 correction?
Navigate to the I-9 Console and click the "Info and Actions" link for the selected transaction.
|
Navigate to the Actions tab and select "Initiate Section 2 Correction".
|
Note:
1. If there is any additional pending process for the I-9, you will see the "Undo Last Filing" option in the actions. Other process-related actions, such as Initiate Reverification, Initiate Name Change, and Initiate Section 2 Correction, will not be available.
|
2. If I-9 is not active i.e terminated with the current or past date, you will not see actions for initiating any process.
|
How do you complete the Section 2 Correction process?
When the Section 2 Correction process is initiated, it first directs you to the reason page. On this page, you can specify the reason for initiating the correction and indicate whether the correction process requires E-Verification.
|
Select the appropriate option from the list by clicking on the Reason dropdown.
Note: The "EAD Auto Extension" option applies exclusively to employee transactions for those who received an automatic extension of their expiring EADs. A daily process runs in the system to identify eligible transactions for EAD Auto Extension, generating corresponding I-9 tasks by extending their expiration date to 540 days in Section 2. I-9 Specialists can access these transactions through their My Tasks console, review the extended data for the EAD document, and electronically sign to complete the process. 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 required for the correction process, set "Perform E-Verify" to "Yes." If E-Verification is not needed, select "No" for "Perform E-Verify".
|
After entering the details, click "Continue".
Note: You may revisit this page and make changes to your selection until Section 2 is signed. Once Section 2 is completed, you are not allowed to make any changes. If you have created this correction in error and wish to terminate the process, use the "Undo Last Filing" option from I-9 Console actions. For more details on terminating the Section 2 Correction process, please refer the following sections.
|
When the process navigates to the Section 2 activity, the document details entered in the previous process will be presented.
Note: If "Perform E-Verify" was set to "No" on the previous reason page, the E-Verify activity will not be included in the process. Conversely, if "Perform E-Verify" was set to "Yes," the E-Verify activity will be included in the process.
| Perform E-Verify = No |
|---|
|
| Perform E-Verify = Yes |

Make changes to the data as needed.
In the Additional Information section, enter any necessary notes or comments. If an alternative procedure was used for remote document verification, select the "Check here if you used an alternative procedure authorized by DHS to examine documents" checkbox. When this checkbox is selected, attaching supporting documents in Section 2 is required. For more details on uploading attachments in Section 2 activity, please click here.
Note: This alternative process is permitted only if the Legal Entity (Company/Business Unit) responsible for the employee's hiring is registered with E-Verify, meaning it has been configured in the DHS Client Setup. If the Legal Entity is not enrolled in E-Verify, this checkbox will be disabled.
If Section 2 is assigned to a remote user and they check the "Check here if you used an alternative procedure authorized by DHS to examine documents" checkbox, they must upload supporting documents when completing the activity. The I-9 Specialist does not need to add any attachments during the Section 2 review unless they delete the attachment uploaded by the remote user. If the attachment is deleted, the I-9 Specialist must upload a new one during the review. If no attachment is provided, the system will prompt for it by displaying an error message during the Section 2 review.
|
|
Note: Even if the "Check here if you used an alternative procedure authorized by DHS to examine documents" checkbox is not checked, you may still be prompted to upload attachments in Section 2, especially if attachments are configured as mandatory in the I-9 activities.
After entering all the details, check "I Agree" and click "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 terminate 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 the I-9 Console and click "Info and Actions" link for the selected transaction.
|
Navigate to the Actions tab and select "Undo Last Filing".
|
Click "Yes" on the confirmation message.
|
Select a reason, enter necessary comments and click "Submit".
|
Click "OK" on the message to continue.
|
The Section 2 Correction process is now terminated and all the actions related to the I-9 additional process are once again visible in the I-9 Console actions.
