Once approved, you will take this letter and all of your important documents (bring your passport, visa, identification, I-20, and I-94) to the Social Security Administration Office (location of your preference). You will receive your social security card in the mail approximately two weeks after. Upon receipt, email HR Manager to receive further instructions.

WHAT IS I-9?

You will meet with a representative from UC Irvine Campus Onboarding to complete the paperwork. You will be required to provide original documentation.

If you were previously on payroll before, you may need to complete the I-9 process again depending on the date of appointment termination.
