Corry Blvd. (513) 556-4278 IMMIGRATION ISSUES ARISING IN THE ADVERTISING, SEARCH, AND APPOINTMENT PROCESS FOR FACULTY POSITIONS United States citizens and lawful permanent residents of the United States (green card holders) are authorized to work permanently in this country. This guidance addresses the faculty search process as it interfaces with individuals who are neither U.S. citizens nor lawful permanent residents of the U.S. For purposes of this document, they are called foreign nationals. Virtually every tenure-track faculty searches draws some foreign national applicants: students completing U.S. degrees, individuals working elsewhere in the U.S. or candidates from abroad. In some searches foreign nationals predominate the pool. Every year UC hires dozens of foreign nationals for tenure-track positions. Before the foreign national commences employment at UC, he or she must hold an appropriate visa classification, most frequently H-1B. Shortly thereafter, the university will seek a "labor certification" on behalf of that new foreign national faculty member. This is a determination by the U.S. Department of Labor that the individual was selected as the best qualified, available candidate pursuant to a full, fair and open search. In most instances labor certification is the prerequisite for the university's immigrant petition on that persons behalf and, ultimately, for the faculty members application for permanent resident status and the derivative application(s) of his or her dependent family members. For a labor certification to be granted, the U.S. Department of Labor requires certain procedures to be followed. While they are not contrary to university policies or practices, they impose additional elements which must be precisely followed if we are to obtain a labor certification on behalf of our new faculty member. Consequently, to protect both the university (seeking to hire and retain the best faculty) and our faculty, (seeking to join UC and remain lawfully in the U.S.) the following guidance should be considered in every faculty search. Following these instructions will help ensure that the department/college will not have to conduct another search for a position that is already filled. Advertising the Position 1. The position must have been advertised in a national professional journal. The ad can be in print or online. However, if the ad is online, the job listing MUST be viewable to the public without payment of subscription and/or membership fees. In addition, online ads must be posted for at least 30 calendar days. The hiring department must be able to provide documentation of all advertising, which includes a copy of the actual ad, as it appeared in the journal or online source. For print ads, a tearsheet/copy of the entire page containing the UC ad is required. Online ads should be printed from the website on at least the first day and last day on which the ad ran. 2. At minimum, all ads should identify the university, the location of the employment (Cincinnati, Ohio), the position title and duties, and the minimum qualifications required. Needless to say, the successful candidate must meet all stated requirements, and all candidates who apply need to be evaluated against all stated requirements. It is not OK for any ads to merely state that multiple openings/positions are available, without a brief overview as to the job title, duties, and requirements for each position (per the regulations, which are attached). To do otherwise would constitute a pointer ad, which is not acceptable to the Department of Labor. 3. At minimum, the print ad should identify the university, the location of the employment (Cincinnati, Ohio), the position and the minimum qualifications required. Needless to say, the successful candidate must meet all stated requirements, and all candidates that apply need to be evaluated against all stated requirements. 4. The minimum qualification should identify the degree required, For example, A Ph.D. in Civil Engineering or a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Molecular Biology or a related field". The ad should not merely ask for "an earned doctorate" without identifying the field or a set of related fields and the related fields should be limited in scope as positions that can be filled by a broad array majors will not qualify for H-1B specialty worker status. 5. If a candidate may be hired "ABD", state that. For example, "a Ph.D. or ABD in Finance" or "the completion of all requirements for the Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering except for the dissertation." If the degree will be required by a specific date, indicate that too. For example, a Ph.D. in Chemical Engineering is required by the date of hire. We may not obtain a "labor certification" if the successful applicant does not meet the standard specified in the ad. 6. If a sub-specialty is required, it must be stated (a degree in 20th Century French Literature for example). 7. If experience is required, it must be stated in measurable terms. For example, "two years post-doctoral experience in Animal Nutrition", or two academic years of teaching experience in Physics. 8. If a professional license is required, it must be stated. (A medical license is required by the date of hire.) 9. It is advisable to not state "preferred" qualifications. The Department of Labor, charged with protecting the domestic labor market, views preferred qualifications as required qualifications because a domestic applicant who does not meet a preferred qualification would be deterred from applying. Consequently, if a qualification is truly required, state it; otherwise, do not. 10. Please avoid listing ideal qualifications or making vague references to qualifications which are neither quantified (measurable) or qualified. Examples to AVOID include: Diverse teaching experience and publications are highly desirable. Prefer applicant to have experience serving a diverse population of open admissions undergraduates. A masters degree is required; a doctoral degree is preferred. Transatlantic interests desirable. Must have demonstrated a developing national reputation Candidates must show evidence of commitment to research and excellence in teaching. Should have extensive professional experience in subject area. Proven record of undergraduate and graduate teaching and scholarly research. Seeking an outstanding researcher in field. Understanding of software/application. OR Exposure to software/application. The successful candidate should have post-doctoral research experience and a record of substantial research accomplishments. Must have high-quality scholarly potential. Emerging record of professional activity and teaching experience at the university level are required. Demonstrate strong communication skills, and be able to work collaboratively with other professionals and students. Examples to include: If a department wants someone who has published in his/her field, instead of saying Must have demonstrated scholarly research potential, the ad should say Must have at least two peer-reviewed publications in the field of insert name the field. If a department wants someone who has both research and teaching experience, instead of saying Candidates must show evidence of commitment to research and excellence in teaching, the ad should say Candidates must have one year of research experience in the area of identify area/field and two academic years of teaching insert subject matter at the university level, with documented positive student or colleague reviews. 11. The hiring department is responsible for printing documentation of all advertising related to the search. When in doubt, please check with UC International Services before advertising to determine if anything placed in the ad will exceed what the Department of Labor considers to be normal which, in the event of a Labor Certification Application (LCA), would require documentation as to business necessity and likely would trigger an audit. Visa Fees The university wants to hire the best qualified applicant and does sponsor individuals for H-1B, TN, O-1 and E-3 visa classifications. A tenure track faculty position cannot be hired using the J-1 exchange visitor, TN or E-3 visa classifications. UC will also pursue permanent resident status via Labor Certification. The University (the hiring department) is responsible for paying all costs associated with employment visas for the candidate of choice. The department can choose to pay the application fees associated with dependents or have the candidate pay those fees. In the permanent resident process, the hiring department is responsible for paying the I-140 application fee. The department can choose to pay the I-485 related fees and/or the fees associated with dependents or the department may choose to have the candidate of choice pay those fees. Candidates are often aware of visa-related issues and may raise these questions themselves asking what fees UC will or will not pay. Fees that can be paid by the candidate can become of source of negotiation between the hiring department and the candidate of choice. Search committees that encounter such questions can contact UC International Services for advice. After Making an Offer After making an offer to a faculty candidate who will need visa sponsorship, please contact UC International Services immediately for advice on the candidates eligibility for employment at UC (both temporarily and on a permanent basis) and, if your offer is accepted, for instructions on how to submit the visa request using the iBearcatsGlobal system. The hiring department will need to complete the hiring process in Success Factors as well as submit the appropriate visa request in iBearcatsGlobal. Time, of course, is of the essence because, by law, a foreign national may not be employed unless he or she is authorized. (Furthermore, by law, an employer may not employ an individual without authorization). After the faculty member joins the University, the hiring department will also work with UC International Services for assistance in obtaining a labor certification and permanent resident classification for that individual. The Labor Certification request must be filed with the Department of Labor with 18 months of the position offer date and the preliminary processes associated with Labor Certification take multiple months, so the process should be started early. Any offer to a foreign national should include the following statement: This offer is contingent upon your having employment authorization from the U.S. Citizen and Immigration Services to assume this position. We will assist you in obtaining the appropriate visa classification. Tenure will be contingent upon obtaining permanent residence and we will assist you in obtaining permanent residence through Labor Certification. Other pathways to permanent residence can be pursued, however, UC International Services will not assist with processing those petitions. Please note: The University assumes a significant responsibility in undertaking visa sponsorship. Sponsorship must be consistent with applicable laws and regulations as well as with institutional guidelines. Consequently, University policy requires that departments process all immigration applications and petitions relating to foreign faculty and staff through UC International Services. A unit may not relinquish UC control of visa sponsorship to an outside attorney, even if an employee or prospective employee offers to pay for such services. Preparing the Labor Certification Application, Immigrant Petition, Permanent Residence, UC International Services works closely with hiring units to prepare the application for labor certification, utilizing sample forms and letters for many of the supporting materials. Every fall it convenes chairs/heads, departmental secretaries or administrative assistants and the new foreign faculty members for an explanation of the process, the distribution of materials and a question and answer period. Following the approval of the labor certification, UC International Services works with the department and the faculty member to prepare the immigrant petition and file it for the university. In addition, UC International Services assists the foreign faculty member (and dependent family members) to prepare and file the application(s) to adjust status to permanent residence. Note: ALL ADVERTISED REQUIREMENTS MUST BE INCLUDED IN A LABOR CERTIFICATION APPLICATION (LCA).Subjective advertised requirements, such as must have demonstrated a developing national reputation would need to be objectively described/quantified in the event an LCA is necessary. Also Note: The sponsoring employer is not permitted to tailor the requirements to the foreign nationals credentials. The Department of Labor is adamant that only actual minimum requirements be reported in an LCA. The regulations specifically state that the employer must not have hired workers with less training or experience for jobs substantially comparable to that involved in the job opportunity. Thus, Departments must be consistent with prior hiring practices when setting minimum requirements.
