Title: Attestations by Employers for Off-Campus Work Authorization for Alien Students (F-1 Nonimmigrants) 
Abstract: This rule implements regulations governing the filing and enforcement of attestations by employers seeking to use aliens admitted as students on F-1 visas (hereafter F-1 student) in off-campus work. Under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA), as amended by the Immigration Act of 1990, employers are required to submit these attestations to DOL and the educational institution in order for such students, if otherwise qualified, to receive work authorizations from the Attorney General. The attestation process has been administered by ETA, while complaints and investigations regarding violations are handled by ESA. Statutory authority for the initial program expired on September 30, 1994, but on October 25, 1994, Public Law 103-416 revived and extended the program through September 30, 1996.
