2. Provide tailored information: explain relevant visa categories, eligibility criteria, and key components of Form I-9.
3. Outline consequences of non-compliance and recent updates to immigration laws.
4. Offer practical compliance tips.

Output format Concise Q&A style with headings, or a summary table. Include citations to official sources (e.g., USCIS, DOL) where possible. Use plain language.
