US SPECIAL IMMIGRANT VISA (SIV) ELIGIBILITY Ref: 3 FAM 7715 and 9 FAM 42.32(d) Foreign Nationals hired under PSAs are eligible for SIV consideration. CA/EX is the point of contact for additional information and questions regarding the SIV program.
WORK PERMIT, WORK VISA, OR RESIDENCY PERMIT Ordinarily Residents (ORs) Non-host country citizens (including Ordinarily Resident US Citizens and most Members of Household who do not have official diplomatic status in country) must be legally eligible to work in country. HR may not hire any individual whose visa or residency status in the host country doesn’t allow employment. This may require that the individual have a work permit, a residency permit, a work and residency permit, the appropriate visa stamp in the passport, or other official documentation required by local labor law in order to work in the host country. It is the applicant’s responsibility to obtain the required documentation and to pay any associated costs. Applicants refer to Mission advertised Vacancy Announcements regarding requirements and information on securing work documents. Mission Assistance in Obtaining Documentation for <strong>Employment</strong> A Mission may establish a Mission-specific policy for HR to assist all Ordinarily Residents who are not citizens of the host country in obtaining the proper permits, visa stamp, or other documentation for legal employment once HR extends a conditional offer of employment. Participating agencies under COM authority must agree to follow the policy before it’s issued. HR must issue this Mission-specific policy in a Management Notice. HR then applies the Mission-specific policy equitably. HR must inform the individual that s/he is responsible for any costs or estimations involved in obtaining the required permits, visa stamp, or other documentation for legal employment in country. HR may provide the individual with the estimated total amount. HR makes sure the individual understands that the formal offer of employment is only made after: A. The individual provides all appropriate documentation to HR; and B. The individual meets all other conditions of employment (e.g., background investigation, preemployment medical). Before establishing the Mission-specific policy, management should carefully consider the impact of an increased HR staff workload in providing these services. In some countries, the workload could be quite substantial. Not Ordinarily Residents (NORs) Eligible Family Members (See 14 FAM 511.3) on the travel orders of direct hire Foreign, Civil, or uniformed service members assigned abroad and under Chief of Mission authority are not required to
