The new revised form is to have a revision date of 6/16/08 in the lower right hand corner. When will this one be available? The link above still shows the old "07" revision date.

The prior version of the I-9 Form expired on June 30, 2008. This Form had a revision date on it (lower right hand corner of the Form) that read "Form I-9 (Rev. 06/05/07)N" On or about June 16, 2008, DHS issued a "revised" I-9 Form with an expiration date of June 30, 2009 and a revision date on it that read "Form I-9 (Rev. 06/16/08)N. About a week after issuing this "revised I-9 Form", DHS issued a "re-revised" I-9 Form that had the same expiration date (June 30, 2009), but the revision date was changed back to the 06/05/07 date. The new form reflects the documents acceptable for purposes of employment verification.
