* Visas: Temporary Workers
If you are an employer who hires foreign workers, you must verify:
- The employee's permission to work in the United States
- The information provided by your employees, including their Social Security identification
You must file a petition with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) on behalf of any foreign national you hire before he/she can apply for a visa.
Contact USCIS at 1.800.357.2099 (TTY: 1.800.767.1833) for more information and assistance.
