IMMIGRATION DOCUMENTS
Information regarding hiring processes for scholars who are not U.S. citizens or permanent residents and who need work authorization such as an H-1B visa is available on UMSL HR’s Hiring Toolkit website. Units who are hiring full-time faculty should confer with their Dean and the Provost to determine whether UMSL will support work authorization for a particular position before submitting a job requisition form. Questions about visa and immigration processes for UMSL employees or prospective employees should be directed to HR Coordinator for Immigration Lauren Ellington, lpryt3@umsystem.edu.
