Eligibility and Citizenship: It is the Department`s policy to achieve drug-free employment, and individuals selected for employment must be tested for illicit drug use prior to final appointment. Employment also depends on the completion and satisfactory assessment of a background investigation. Congress generally prohibits agencies from employing non-citizens in the United States, with a few narrow exceptions set forth in the annual appropriations act (see www.usajobs.gov/Help/working-in-government/non-citizens/). According to DOJ guidelines, only U.S. citizens are eligible for employment at the Executive Office for Immigration Review, U.S. Trustee Offices, and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Unless otherwise stated in a specific job posting, non-U.S.
citizens who meet the criteria of the Immigration and Assignment Act may apply for employment with other DOJ organizations. Please note, however, that the appointment of non-U.S. citizens are extremely rare; such appointments would be possible only if they were necessary for the implementation of the Department`s mandate and would be subject to strict security requirements. Applicants who hold dual citizenship in the United States and another country will be considered on a case-by-case basis. All DOJ employees are subject to a residency requirement. Applicants must have lived in the United States for at least three of the last five years. The three-year period is cumulative and not necessarily consecutive. Federal or military employees or dependents of federal or military employees serving abroad are exempt from this requirement. This is a departmental security requirement, which is waived only in extreme circumstances and dealt with on a case-by-case basis.
