Defending Against Discrimination With E-Verification in Chicago, IL

Regardless of your citizenship, we can help you attain E-verification in Chicago, IL. If you have the right to work, don’t let anyone take it away. Protect and defend against discrimination based on citizenship status and national origin with E-verification. If you have the skills, experience, and legal right to work, your citizenship or immigration status shouldn’t get in the way. Neither should the place you were born or another aspect of your national origin. Part of US immigration laws protects legally authorized workers from discrimination based on their citizenship status and national origin. You can read this law at 8 USC § 1324b.

Protect Your Right to Work in the US

The Immigrant and Employee Rights Section (IER) can help if an employer treats you unfairly in violation of this law. (The law that IER enforces is 8 USC § 1324b. The regulations for this law are at 28 CFR Part 44.) Call IER if an employer:

  • Do not hire you or fire you because of your national origin or citizenship status (this may violate a part of the law at 8 USC § 1324b(a)(1))
  • Treats you unfairly while checking your right to work in the US, including while completing the Form I-9 or using E-Verify (this may violate the law at 8 USC § 1324b(a)(1) or (a)(6))
  • Retaliates against you because you are speaking up for your right to work as protected by this law. The law prohibits retaliation at 8 USC § 1324b(a)(5))
