Q
- Can an employer advertise for
jobs stating "US citizens only", "US passport required" or some other
requirement that indicates the job is only open to U.S. citizens?
A -
Usually NO unless
U.S. citizenship is required "in order to comply with law, regulation,
or executive order, or required by Federal, State, or
local government contract, or which
the Attorney General determines to be essential for an employer to do
business with an agency or department of the Federal, State, or local
government." See 8
U.S.C. 1324b(a)(2)(C). For more
