The federal minimum wage has been $7.25 an hour since July 24, 2009, and when a state minimum is higher you are entitled to the higher rate. Under the Fair Labor Standards Act, non-exempt employees must get at least one and a half times their regular rate for hours over 40 in a workweek, and exempt status depends on duties and pay — not job title. Some states, such as California, also require overtime after eight hours in a day.
In a J-1 intern or trainee program, the Form DS-2019 comes from a sponsor designated by the State Department — not from the company — and the U.S. host company must sign a training plan (Form DS-7002). Interns are current students or recent graduates (within 12 months) of a foreign post-secondary school; trainees need a foreign degree plus one year of related experience abroad, or five years of experience abroad. Federal rules cap internships at 12 months and training programs at 18 months.
Every new hire in the U.S. completes Form I-9. The employee fills in Section 1 no later than the first day of work, and the employer completes Section 2 within three business days, after examining the documents the employee chooses — one from List A, or one from List B plus one from List C. Employers that use E-Verify then compare the I-9 with government records, and may not take adverse action while an employee resolves a mismatch.
An employment-based green card through a U.S. employer (EB-2 or EB-3) usually runs in three steps — the employer gets a PERM labor certification from the Department of Labor, files an immigrant petition (Form I-140) with USCIS, and once a visa number is available the worker applies through Form I-485 (adjustment of status in the U.S.) or consular processing. Your place in line is your priority date, and the State Department's monthly Visa Bulletin shows when you can move ahead.
