This Settle In video, a basic guide for newcomers, provides essential information for starting a job in the United States. It explains workers’ rights and how newcomers can protect themselves from fraudulent employment schemes.

- Their rights when filling out Form I-9 (Employment Eligibility Verification) and how they can choose which documents to show.
