How does an employer check if his employees are legal/have work visa ?

Answer 1

Wait until Bush legalizes torture then do your thing

Answer 2

Employers are required under the Immigration and Nationality Reform Control Act of 1985 to have an I-9 Form (Employment Eligibility Verification) on file for ALL employees, not just employees you suspect are not U.S. citizens. On the I-9 Form, the employer verifies employment eligibility by looking at between 1-2 approved documents, shown on the reverse side of the form, to verify that the employee is legal to work. If the documents are forged or falsified, it is not the employer's responsibility to be a detective, as long as he's made a good faith effort to check. For more information, call the Dept. of Justice or Dept. of Labor, who oversee enforcement of this.

Answer 3

A person is only allowed to work for the company that petitioned for the working visa for him. If the employer has to check, the person is working illegally.

If the company wants to know if the worker is a legal US resident, they must ask to see his green card.

Employers ask for documentation. A birth certificate or a passport are 2 documents that can prove citizenship. A green card is a proof for legal residency (and the right to work) of non US citizens.
