USCIS Redesigns Employment Authorization Document and Certificate of Citizenship

One of the most recent changes made to immigration and naturalization took place on October 25, 2011. In an effort to increase security and combat fraud, USCIS redesigned two official documents, making it harder for criminals to tamper or counterfeit the documents. Also, authenticating the documents is now easier and more accurate.

The two documents affected are the Employment Authorization Document (EAD) and the Certificate of Citizenship (form N-560).

The EAD has been changed so that the card number is now located on the front of the card, as is the case number. The immigrant’s fingerprint and picture are laser engraved, making it harder to illegally reproduce the card. The unique background design and holographic imaging also makes the EAD difficult to tamper with.

The Certificate of Citizenship has been redesigned to include a digital approval signature and watermark that is engraved directly in the paper. The printing process has been changed to make the certificates more fraud resistant. And updated physical security features make it harder to tamper with the official documents.

USCIS anticipates that over 1 million people will receive the new documents in 2012.

As an employer, you may require the services of a foreign national 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.

If the alien is not already a permanent resident, you will need to file a petition so that

the individual may obtain the appropriate immigrant or nonimmigrant classification. You

may chose to file an immigrant petition (permanent) or a nonimmigrant petition

(temporary) on behalf of that employee. Fresno Immigration Attorney Phillip Kim
provide information on how to petition and the different eligibility categories.

Employees

No alien may accept employment in the United States unless they have been authorized

to do so. Some aliens, such as those who have been admitted as permanent residents,

granted asylum or refugee status, or admitted in work-related nonimmigrant

classifications, may have employment authorization as a direct result of their immigration

status. Other aliens may need to apply individually for employment authorization.

There are many ways in which a person may be able to work in the United States. You

may seek an immigration classification that permits you to live and work in the United

States permanently or temporarily. In most instances, your employer or potential

employer must petition for you. You will find more information about coming to the

United States to work temporarily or permanently and the many different eligibility

categories for working in the United States.
