FAQ
Many contracts now include clauses requiring team members to be U.S. citizens, but not always. If you're involved in work requiring a secret or top-secret clearance, it's a no-go for non-U.S. citizens. Even if you have multiple passports, you might be asked to give up the non-U.S. ones.
While the US federal government is more restrictive in regards to hiring people who are not American citizens or US nationals, Green Card holders can work in state and local governments for a range of positions.
In general, you must be a U.S. citizen or national (residents of American Samoa and Swains Island) to work for the federal government, but there are some exceptions.
While specific industries, such as defense contracting, may impose citizenship requirements due to federal mandates, most roles are accessible to qualified Green Card holders.
As an employer, you may require the services of a noncitizen to work at your company or business. If the individual is already a permanent resident (Green Card holder), you may hire that individual, but you must comply with the employment verification requirements.
Green card holders enjoy the flexibility to work remotely for non-U.S. companies while exploring the diverse landscapes and cultures within the United States. However, working outside the U.S. introduces considerations regarding the length of stay abroad, as prolonged absences may impact green card status.
Applicants must be a U.S. citizen, a U.S. non-citizen national, or a qualified alien.
