The Federal Government gives strong priority to hiring United States
citizens and nationals, but non-citizens may be hired in certain circumstances.
Agencies considering non-citizens for Federal employment in the
competitive service must follow usual selection procedures and also meet
the requirements of all three of the following: immigration law;
an appropriations act ban on paying certain non-citizens; and an executive
order restriction on appointing non-citizens in the competitive service.
In addition, agencies are responsible for applying any citizenship requirements
that may appear in their individual agency's authorization and appropriation
laws.
