In
response to contractor inquiries, OFCCP has posted a new Web page that provides
information related to entry visa denials by foreign governments, on the basis
of sexual orientation or gender identity, for contractors’ employees or
potential employees. The page explains how contractors contact OFCCP and
the State Department, as required by OFCCP regulations, should the company’s
request for a visa for an employee be denied on the basis of sexual orientation
or gender identity. It also provides resources to learn about the visa
requirements of various countries, and information regarding what a company may
do to obtain assistance if it has difficulty obtaining a visa.
The Visa Denials by Foreign Governments Web page
can be found on the OFCCP Web page at http://www.dol.gov/ofccp/LGBT/VisaDenial.htm
