Felon in New York needs Job Info

Hello!

Thank you so much in advance for helping out convicted felons.

My brother just got out of jail after serving for 8 months for marriage fraud, he is an honorably discharged veteran of Afghanistan war and is planning to go to school now under 9/11 GI Bill program.

I was wondering if you could help and tell us where to find the info about what jobs are restricted for felons and most important what licenses they absolutely can't obtain here in NYC.

For example real estate salesperson license, or physical trainer, or any securities licensees, like Series 7 and etc....

Thanks a lot,

Best regards,

Anna.

A: Hello Anna,

I don't know how serious Marriage Fraud is. I'm not sure if is a felony in the state of New York or how it is viewed by employers. There is no list per se but certain jobs may require licensing or certifications that may be restricted to ex-offenders and felons based on their individual convictions. Your brother would have to contact each entity separately to find if he is eligible to be licensed or certified. Here is a list of occupations that require licensing in the state of New York and application information.
