Until now, employment authorization verification

is not mandated. Legislation regarding madatary employment authorization verification is almost certain, several current immigration bills contains such requirement. It can be predicted that in the near future a system similar to the current SEVIS may be in place .

INS recently is very strict with employer's I-9 requirment. However, at this time, it seems that INS does not collect the form.

On the other hand, an 2000 INS memo stated clearly that using AP won't compromise H/L status holder's benefit.
