International Employment
Welcome! The International Employment Office (IE) assists the University to sponsor international employees both for nonimmigrant visas ( H-1Bs, TNs, Os), business and visitor visas (B-1s, B-2s, and visa waivers); and immigration petitions ("green cards"). IE stays current with relevant US Citizenship and Immigrant Service (USCIS, formerly INS), Department of State, and Department of Labor regulations and policies, and provides education to the university community to facilitate understanding and compliance.
The IE office is located in Suite 110 on the first floor of HR Admin II at 2711 Sullivan Drive. The Foreign National Tax Specialist is also located in this suite, so we are now known as International Employment and Taxation, or IET. The main IET telephone number and fax numbers are listed above on this page.
Training Classes: Employment Of Foreign Nationals
It is an employee's responsibility to maintain his/her legal immigration and employment status. However, hiring departments should monitor the expiration of visas and employment authorization documents to assist with compliance. This class covers what a hiring department needs to know.
Employment Verification Processes: Use of I-9 & E-Verify: The session will cover the I-9 completion process in detail, including federal requirements and University processes, timelines and restrictions. Copies of correctly completed I-9 forms, as well as identity and employment documents, will be provided. The class will also cover the federal E-Verify electronic employment verification process, including how to get access and what steps need to be taken to enter information and receive employment authorization approval.
Personal Interview with USCIS about your case: If you ever need to visit USCIS, you must schedule an appointment. Now you can schedule an appointment using Infopass, the on-line scheduler.
