Public Access File Audits

Public Access File Audits are evaluations conducted by U.S. immigration authorities to ensure that employers comply with immigration laws, particularly concerning the hiring of foreign workers. Employers are required to maintain a Public Access File that includes key documents like Labor Condition Applications and employee statements. During an audit, officials review these files to verify that the employer has followed regulations, such as paying the proper wages and providing working conditions documented in the file. This process helps protect worker rights and ensure fair labor practices in the hiring of foreign employees.
