Thanks Patrick.  I  have seen the law and the rule, but my question is 
with the filing method, regardless of media.  The law says employers may 
copy documents for Sect 2, but if they do, they must be attached to the 
I-9.  I would like to not attach the copies of documents, since it is not 
required (less to manage, less available for audit, etc).   I wanted to 
see what others were doing about this filing method.  From what I have 
found when I googled this, it seems like many people are keeping copies of 
the documents.  Is the reason for keeping them maybe--just in case, or is 
it based on real experiences?  I have seen three different law firms with 
instructions on their web sites and two say don't attach and one said to 
attach.  Maybe it doesn't matter if they are attached or not as long as 
the filing method is consistent.   Thanks everyone, Susan

DHS put out some proposed / interim revised rules around 15 June 2006 that 
clarified this issue. In general, the revised rules do not require that an 
employer maintain supporting documentation.
