Immigration Compliance Group is a full service consulting, immigration, and employer compliance organization that is uniquely positioned to assist our clients in developing and maintaining compliant employment practices.  Our talented team offers in-depth I-9 audits, compliance training - both onsite and offsite via Webinar. We perform partial (random) audits that consist of 10% of your employee population I-9’s, and we also perform I-9 audits of your total workforce. We provide our clients with a Report of Findings following the audit and provide specific instructions pertaining to what needs to be corrected on the I-9 forms, and how to go about it.

In our employer compliance practice, we find that most HR employees charged with the I-9 process have little to no formal training. This is extremely risky in today's enforcement climate. We strongly advise that all members of your staff that are charged with handling I-9's be formally trained with yearly refresher courses, and that the employer have an I-9 policy and procedures manual that is required reading for your I-9 staff.
