Strategic Compliance Guidance for Employers
I-9 and E-Verify compliance is a critical responsibility for employers, and mistakes can lead to significant penalties, business disruption, and reputational harm. Momani Immigration Law LLC provides strategic guidance to employers navigating federal and state worksite compliance obligations, backed by decades of high-level immigration and employment compliance experience.
Attorney Magdeline Momani brings a unique perspective to these matters, having designed and overseen large-scale compliance programs as in-house counsel for a Fortune 1 company. Her approach focuses on risk mitigation, practical solutions, and clear guidance tailored to your organization.
Employer I-9 Self-Audits
We conduct attorney-client privileged internal I-9 audits to identify potential compliance risks before they become enforcement issues. These audits include a detailed review of I-9 forms, supporting documentation, and electronic systems to uncover technical errors, substantive violations, and patterns that may raise red flags.
Our audits also help employers identify broader compliance concerns, including document irregularities and operational gaps, allowing corrective action to be taken proactively.
Federal ICE Audit Defense
If your business receives a Notice of Inspection or other communication from Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), immediate and informed action is critical. We represent employers throughout the ICE audit process, including responses to Notices of Inspection, Notices of Suspect Documents, Notices of Discrepancy, Notices of Unauthorized Alien, and Warning Notices.
When necessary, we negotiate with the government in response to a Notice of Intent to Fine, working to resolve matters efficiently and strategically.
State E-Verify Requirements and Audits
E-Verify requirements vary by state and government contractor status. We advise employers on whether voluntary enrollment in E-Verify or participation in programs such as IMAGE is appropriate for their operations. When audits arise, we develop response strategies focused on accuracy, timeliness, and minimizing exposure.
Training, Policies, and Protocols
Compliance is strongest when supported by education and clear procedures. We design and facilitate I-9 and E-Verify training for HR teams and hiring managers and assist with drafting corporate immigration policies, codes of conduct, and ICE visit protocols.
