How to Record Citizenship Status Changes in Tracker I-9
Goal
This shows how to record an employee's Citizenship Status Changes in Tracker I-9. The citizenship status in Section 1 does not need to be amended.
If the I-9 is a historical I-9, you may need to remove the reverification due date from the summary tab.
Employee going from "Alien Authorized to Work" to "Lawful Permanent Resident" status
When an active employee goes from "Alien Authorized to work" to a "Permanent resident" the employer should record the new permanent resident card (or other acceptable documents) in new Section 3 reverification. Then, the I-9 will no longer be subject to reverification, unless a Temporary I-551 is used, which case they will require reverification until an I-551 Lawful Permanent Resident card is used.
Employee going from "Lawful Permanent Resident" to "US Citizen" status
When an active employee goes from Lawful Permanent Resident to "US Citizen" status, a reverification is only necessary if the last document they used on the I-9 was a Temporary I-551. If they previously presented a Form I-551, Permanent Resident or Alien Registration Receipt card in Section 2 or a previous Section 3, no action is needed as they will not require reverification.
