listed on their current document. The 

only document that can be replaced on 

the basis of a change to the applicant’s 

date of birth, as evidenced by a court 

order or a U.S. Government-issued 

document is the Certificate of

nonimmigrant status. An employer (or 

agent, where applicable) uses this form

nonimmigrant workers, and ensuring 

that basic information required for 

assessing eligibility is provided by the
