And, he added, “it provides additional information on who may present a Form I-94, Arrival/Departure Record, to an employer as an acceptable document evidencing employment authorization under Schedule C of Form I-9, Eligibility Verification. ” .
Form I-94 must be accompanied by identification documentation for employment authorization purposes.
