SIX HIRING TRENDS YOU SHOULD PREPARE FOR AS WE HEAD INTO 2021

If Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR) status was obtained through an employment-based petition, you may apply for US Citizenship five (5) years after you were admitted as LPR. If you immigrated through marriage, you may apply three (3 ) years after you received your LPR status.

The Citizenship Resource Center at https://www.uscis.gov/citizenship is a treasure trove of information. There you will find forms and instructions for this process and you will also find the New Study Material for the NEW 2020 Civics Test.

The pandemic has changed hiring as we know it, while some changes are less than ideal and will likely be temporary (i.e. hiring freezes), other practices have proven to be highly effective and will likely stick around even after the virus’s impact has eventually subsided.
