Q: Fraudulent Green Card?
I have an employee who upon hire provided me with a SS Card and a Permanent Resident card. My payroll company has advised me that the SS# is "invalid". After a discussion with my employee, who acted totally confused about the situation, I decided to take a closer look at the Permanent Resident card she gave me. I'm now wondering if it is fake. It is stating a category "IR2", which according to websites seems to be only issued to children under the age of 21. My employee's date of birth is 1983, which would make her 35 yo. She has a husband and 2 children. The card expires on 11/26/24, and states Resident Since 10/18/14, with Country of Birth being Mexico. Could she have gotten this card when she was under the age of 21 and just keeps renewing it with the same category? Can you get an IR2 green card at the age of 31? Or is it more likely that this card is fraudulent?
A:
Be very careful. Employers should not try to be ICE agents. The immigration laws are very complex and you do not want to get sued for violating anti-discrimination laws.
