[IPAC-List] Citizenship

[keith.poole at phoenix.gov]

On our application the question reads: " Are you legally authorized to 
work in the United States?  Yes / No".  Our current policy if an applicant 
asks is that we don't currently sponsor candidates needing visas.  The 
only job where we require US citizenship is Police Recruit because our 
state peace officer standards requires it.  In the past we have sponsored 
some foreign nationals / H1B visas, basically allowing them to legally 
work in the US even though they weren't citizens.   But, we haven't done 
this since around 2008.  All the ones we did sponsor at the time we let 
lapse and didn't re-sponsor.  It may be a while before we look into 
sponsoring again.  We have hired a few in recent years who have, I forget 
the exact term, permanent work visa? where they are not citizens but do 
not need ongoing sponsorship.  So they could answer Yes and potentially 
get hired.

Would you please share with me the language you use on your employment 
application and in your rules regarding citizenship as to who can apply 
for jobs and who can be hired. 
 
Thanks,
