Have ss and EAD -denied employment because not US citizen

[Blondie-CO 8]

My husband is an engineer and some companies have told him straight that they can't hire him because he's not a USC. Most commonly they are working with defense-related technology and government contracts. This is legal. But these positions will usually say "Must be USC" at the bottom of postings. Some will say "Must be USC or legal resident" and others say "Must have (suchnsuch) clearance etc."

It really depends on the job and the company. Details about your position would help.

Some companies prefer to hire US citizens over green card holders.

Its normal, I guess, nothing illegal about it. My LPR hubby also encountered the same thing, and he has a 10-yr GC from his father's F2B petition.
