Is this Legal? - Page 2

But this is a consulting firm? why there?

The truth is that many employers usually do this because they want someone without any legal issues with the Government concerning status.The Bush & Obama Administration has been coming down quite hard on employers for hiring undocumented workers so it is only natural employers are somewhat skittish with regards to a temporary status.

Youre better off looking at Hospital type analyst positions because they dont discriminate based on citizenship status. Also, many of them have contracts that have you commit for atleast a year or two (you can extend after) which I think is really good.

I am not stuck on that job, but i was really surprised when I saw that.
Plus I am still debating if i should get a full or part time job.

Whatever is convenient for you I think. The point i believe is for all of us to maintain SOME type of job, whether its fulltime in a career utilizing our degrees or at a clothing store. It shows that we're really trying to work and we need the EAD, and hopefully will be a convincing point when its time for renewal.

Look at the situation from their point of view.

Would you want to hire someone who is only guaranteed to be able to work for 2 years? Then after those 2 years you don't know if he will not be able to work, if you will have to train someone else.

Hey I was looking at a porn star application and they say that they can't hire someone with a greencard. They want a permit to work for their company by the US? wtf does that mean.

To get into the porn industry you must be a US Citizen, UNLESS the company has overseas affiliations. Youre better off starting your own company that allows foreigners.

I've tried to apply for executive positions and have failed miserably.

That is why this community is 'fu%^&*'

'Look at it from their eyes' WTF kind of complacent answer is that.

The only scale here is the LAW.

the LAW
8 USC § 1324b
They may have a preference for perm status employees, BUT they cannot require this.
If you go in and interview along side a USC, and they hire a USC then they can do that. But they cannot make it so only USC's apply. Unless the company is engage in a Federal contract that prohibits the company from hiring non-LPR's or USC's, like the example I gave. ITAR.

We may be coming out of the shadows, but our mentality is far from coming out and asserting our basic rights.

Thats what I read somewhere else but friend who is an HR disagreed with me. I might apply just to let them know
