VISANOW Expands U.S. Employment Eligibility Compliance Services

Form I-9 Compliance Alone Not Sufficient for Employers of Foreign Nationals to
Meet Employment Eligibility Criteria
CHICAGO--(Business Wire)--
To help employers contend with heightened government scrutiny, VISANOW, leading
global immigration services provider, has expanded its I9NOWSM U.S. employment
eligibility services by integrating online Form I-9 preparation and storage with
optional E-Verify validation, internal audits and process development and
training. Based on VISANOW`s patented online platform and hallmark near-instant
legal advice, I9NOW will help employers centrally organize their I-9`s and
easily E-Verify eligible I-9`s with government databases in one-click.

Complementing its Form I-9 related employment eligibility services, VISANOW also
offers H-1B compliance audits. Often overlooked within the H-1B visa and
compliance processes, Labor Condition Applications (LCAs) and Public Access
Files (PAFs) have their own compliance requirements that, if not adhered to, can
pose risks to employers of foreign nationals under the H-1B visa program.

VISANOW`s employment eligibility offerings are completed by pre-M&A compliance
audits that help companies to avoid assuming immigration liabilities or
non-compliance risks from an acquired company by assessing any such issues
during the M&A due diligence.

"Employment eligibility compliance is more important than ever, given that
within the last year I-9 inspection notices have almost doubled, H-1B on-site
inspections increased 5-fold, and M&A activity continues to gain momentum as the
economy recovers," commented VISANOW CEO, Robert Meltzer. "VISANOW offers
comprehensive services that not only cover a broader spectrum of employment
eligibility compliance than the narrow I-9-only offerings, but are based on the
all-inclusive fixed fee model we pioneered more than a decade ago."

VISANOW`s employment eligibility compliance services include:

* I9NOW online I-9 preparation, storage, and optional E-Verify validation
* Internal compliance audits
* Mergers & Acquisitions compliance assessments
* Compliance process development and training
* Legal representation
