How to Screen International Student
I had someone apply who's a Nigerian Exchange Student that's only lived in the states for 2 years
He's working full time making $840 per week & meets the income requirements
The problem is he doesn't have a social security number. I'm unable to run a credit or background check without it. He had a license that he gave me.
Other than this, he looks good. No pets, has a couple references, but I'm concerned I can't dig deeper into his background.
Has anyone else ever experienced this situation? How would you deal with this?
Thanks

@Sam Shueh Yes he has a Michigan drivers license and provided his number.
I asked for his Student Visa and Passport and he got real funny about it saying no ones asked me for that before. I told him we can't move forward until I get the Visa and Passport and I haven't heard back from him since.
