Hey Everyone!

 

First time poster!!

 

I am currently in the process of getting my CR-1 Visa approved and I am looking into applying for jobs when I start to move to the US. I am getting a bit confused with some of the terminology used by different companies. For example:

 

  • You must have a Green Card or US Citizenship to apply for this role
  • This position must meet Export Control compliance requirements, therefore a United States Person as defined by 22 C.F.R.  § 120.15 is required.
  • To conform to U.S. Government space technology export regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) you must be a U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident of the U.S., protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a)(3), or eligible to obtain the required authorizations from the U.S. Department of State. Learn more about the ITAR here.

 

Can someone with a CR-1 Visa apply for these positions?

 

Thanks, Avi

you can you are a LPR as soon as you enter in the USA and the visa is activated. the stamp in your visa is good for 1 year.

 

my husband arrived on 2/1 on 2/6 we went to apply for his SSN, by 2/13 he had it in hand, on 2/24 we got an updated his card was in production.

 

we did check the box on ds260 we said he wanted to do ssc when he arrived but we went straight to the office and applied for it instead.

You will be a lawful permanent US resident with a green card, so yes. A CR1 is an immigrant visa, therefore you receive a green card.

  Many of the postings like that , you will not seriously be considered for until you are a US citizen .  In theory a resident can be cleared but only if you are the best ever at that work.  Expect a lot of rejections

This will not be over quickly. You will not enjoy this.
