Our U.S. Civil Service (federal) positions require U.S. citizenship. Our Trust funded positions do not require U.S. Citizenship, but do require appropriate documentary evidence of right to work in the United States issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The Immigration Reform and Control Act of 1986 requires employers to hire only individuals who are eligible to work in the United States. Those individuals normally are:

• a citizen (either by birth or naturalization) or national of the United States;
• or an alien assigned by the INS to a class of immigrants authorized to be employed (aliens who are lawfully admitted for permanent residence by the INS are the largest class of aliens in this category);
• or an individual alien who is expressly authorized by the INS to be employed.
