Are there any special procedures for employers of certain foreign nationals?

Yes, there are special procedures for employers of certain foreign nationals in Virginia. Employers of foreign nationals must comply with federal immigration laws and must also obtain an Employment Authorization Document (EAD) for the employee. The EAD is usually issued by United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This document authorizes the employee to work in the United States. Employers of foreign nationals must also ensure the employee has the relevant visa required to work in the country. Different visas are granted for different reasons, such as work or study, and the employee’s eligibility for the visa must be evaluated before they can be hired. Additionally, employers in certain industries may also be required to sponsor foreign workers for permanent residency. This requires the employer to demonstrate that the employee is the most qualified for the job, and that their position cannot be filled by an American citizen. Employers of foreign nationals should also stay up to date on immigration laws and any relevant changes, and should be aware of their responsibilities for reporting and compliance. UCIS regularly issues updates on immigration laws, and provides more information on their website.
