USA-based companies are required by law to make sure the people they
hire can legally work in the USA. There's a form, it might be called
an "I-9," that the employer's representative fills out to say they've
verified the employee's eligibility for employment and includes check
boxes to show which method of eligibility was used. In this regard,
photocopying an original green card or passport is usual -- in my
experience, these documents were never left with the employer, but
were presented for photocopying and received back in one session.
The copy of the original degree cert. is a new one on me, but given
how folks can lie about that, it makes sense for some positions.
