Frequently Asked Questions About
Employment Discrimination

I know that the Immigration and Nationality Act prohibits discrimination on the basis of citizenship status against "protected individuals." Who are protected individuals?

Protected individuals include citizens or nationals of the U.S., lawful permanent residents, temporary residents, and persons granted refugee or asylee status. The term does not include aliens in one of those classes who fail to make a timely application for naturalization after they become eligible.
