Dear Editor:
The item stating that electronic signatures are now acceptable for I-9s that appeared in the Thursday October 14 issue of Immigration Daily is inaccurate. Please note that electronic signatures are not now acceptable for I-9s as the law doesn't go into effect until the [earlier] of the date 180 days after enactment or when final regulations go into effect.

Lisa Rodney

Editor's Note: As discussed in a letter in the October 18th issue of Immigration Daily, we took a bit of a license with our headline. As the one-page bill states and as you quite correctly point out, the amendment will not go into effect until the earlier of: 180 days after the enactment or when the final regulations go into effect.
