Contractor Certification Immigration and Nationality Act.pdf

This document is a Contractor Certification form for the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, as amended, specifically for contractors working with the Department of Veterans Affairs. The certification requires contractors to comply with legal provisions related to immigration laws and regulations, ensuring they do not knowingly employ illegal aliens or foreign national non-immigrants who violate their visa status when providing services.

The document outlines strict compliance requirements, including the use of E-Verify and adherence to Executive Order 12989. Failure to comply can result in significant penalties, such as being prohibited from working at the Department of Veterans Affairs, potential termination of the contract, and possible prosecution under 18 U.S.C. 1001. The contractor must also obtain similar certifications from their subcontractors and agrees to follow all immigration-related legal requirements when working on Veterans Affairs contracts.
