Hello, I'm Karlos with the Office of Personnel Management.
For most Federal jobs, you must be a United States citizen or National (meaning a person
who owes permanent allegiance to the United States (for example, natives of American Samoa
and Swains Island)). However, there are some exceptions. For instance,
if you are a student or recent graduate who is not a U.S. citizen, you may be eligible
to work for the Federal Government through one of the three Pathways Programs. The Pathways
Internship Program, the Presidential Management Fellows Program; or the Recent Graduates Program.
However, you must possess full U.S. citizenship by the end of the Program to obtain permanent
Federal employment.
For information about the Pathways Programs, go to USAJOBS.gov/studentsandgrads.
There are other exceptions, as well. Most agencies have information about employment
opportunities on their websites, including citizenship requirements.
So, if you're a non-citizen interested in working for a particular agency, visit that
agency's website to learn about opportunities for non-citizens.
Go to usa.gov for a list of Federal agencies.
For information on U.S. citizenship, student visas, and U.S. immigration laws, go to the
U.S. Department of Homeland Security's U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services' website
at www.uscis.gov . Information about eligibility and how to pursue U.S. citizenship or authorization
to work in the U.S. can be found on this site.
For more, go to USAJOBS.gov and search for: "New to the Federal Government - U.S. Citizens
and Non-Citizens" and also "Employment of Non-citizens".
I hope you find this information helpful and that you are successful in your job search.
