I had to fill out an I-9. The I-9, you probably know, is to prove that you are eligible to work in the US. I have gone through vetting for various levels of security in the US and Canada, yet I have to fill out an I-9 and show proof that I didn't sneak across the border. That's pretty sad that you could be trusted with the nation's secrets, but... are you sure you're not a Mexican?
Anyway, the Not Funny, Really portion is the actual document.
Pages 1 and 2 are instructions. They include a section labelled What Is the Filing Fee? which is followed by a paragraph that begins There is no associated filing fee for completing Form I-9. This is followed by about another 40 words.
Page 4 is the actual form. Remember, there are two pages of instructions. All you need to fill in is your name, address, Date of Birth, social security number, and your status (citizen, etc). That's it. Two pages of instructions. The rest of the form is filled out by the person who verifies your document.
Page 5 is LISTS OF ACCEPTABLE DOCUMENTS. You can choose one from column A, OR one from column B AND one from column C. I chose the egg drop soup, fried rice, and General Tso's chicken.
I skipped Page 3. Page 3 is reproduced, in it's entirety, below. I am not making this up.
Somewhere else in the documentation there used to be a question.

ReplyDeleteThe growth and scope of the government is choking the life out of our country. It is a monster that just keeps infringing on us.
