[daphne2109 0]

Maybe it's a silly question, but what you guys did or have done or are going to do with your employer when you are still waiting to get phisically the 10 yr GC, although you got the NOa that extends the 2 yr GC for another year?

You give to the employer a photocopyu of the NOA or you wait for the 10 yr GC?

Any suggestions accordingly to your experience?

Tks alot!!!!!

That is all you can do if they ASK you....

Yes you should give them a copy of your NOA2. An employer should request this once they see your GC has expired. If they dont' you should still bring it to them.

Your employer has no right to ask to see your greencard, all they are allowed to do is ask you to redo your I-9 form and for that all you need is a state drivers licence or state ID and a unrestricted SSN.

It is against the law for them to demand a Greencard.

I was never asked to fill out new I-9 while the new greencard was in process.

We just gave my husband's employer a copy of the NOA1 that extended it for a year. When he gets his 10 yr green card, we will give them a copy of it.

I am pretty certain that the employer is legally required to have a copy of the green card on file, thus allowing them to ask for it at anytime.

I work for a government contractor in HR and we have to have a copy of the GC on file to be in compliance with federal regulations - therefore needing to ask for it. AND FYI when filling out a new I-9 the proof of identification need be presented to the HR person signing the form, again the person must produce their permission to work in the US.

If a company is audited for compliance and it shows that there are non USC working for the company the company must be able to show that all workers are legally able to work or face very strict repurcussions.

An unrestricted SS card with driver license satisfies the requirement of the I-9. The employer cannot discriminate and ask for a specific document, it is against the LAW.

Here is the wording from the employers handbook.

Types of Employment Discrimination Prohibited

Under the INA

Document Abuse

Discriminatory documentary practices related to verifying the

employment eligibility of employees and the Form I-9 process

are called document abuse. Document abuse occurs when

employers treat individuals differently on the basis of national

origin or citizenship status in the Form I-9 process. Document

abuse can be broadly categorized into four types of conduct:

1) improperly requesting that employees produce more

documents than are required by the Form I-9 to establish the

employee’s identity and work authorization; 2) improperly

requesting that employees produce a particular document,

such as a “green card,” to establish identity or work eligibility;

3) improperly rejecting documents that reasonably appear to

be genuine and belong to the employee presenting them; 4)

improperly treating groups of applicants differently when

completing the Form I-9, such as requiring certain groups of

employees that look or sound “foreign” to produce particular

documents the employer does not require other employees to

produce. These practices may constitute unlawful document

abuse and should be avoided when verifying employment

eligibility. All work authorized individuals are protected

against this type of discrimination. The INA’s prohibition

against document abuse covers employers with 4 or more

employees.

All you need to show is an unrestricted SSN and a State DL or State ID, you do not need your extension letter or anything else. The Employer can use the E-Verify system to check if you are authorized in the same way they would for any other employee.

They haven't asked for anything from Andre. If they do, he will allow them to copy his NOA or his DL and his SS card, whatever they prefer.

I'd say the other posters on here are 100% right. All your employer or mine (my GC is expired now) can do is ask us to fill out another I-9. If you have an unrestricted SSN and a valid State ID/DL then that is all thats needed. Employers have no right to ask for or demand to see a GC.

Having said that I think it's good, assuming you have a good employer to keep them up to date if needed and to send a copy of your new GC, NOA or I-551 stamp to HR. Then again if most HR are like mine then it'll just get lost from the file and no one will ever track it or ask any questions.

I voluntarily gave them a copy of my NOA without them asking. I figured there was no harm in that, and there wasn't.
