Does U.S. Permanent Resident status (about a year until I become a citizen) count, or citizenship is required (like for ITAR regulations and such).

- StellarScience 2y agoUnfortunately the latter, but welcome and please keep us in mind in about a year!
- em-bee 2y agoare you sure? didn't SpaceX recently get in trouble for making exactly that distinction? not suggesting that you should get in trouble but rather suggesting to double check if your situation is really different.
- StellarScience 2y agoThanks, we are familiar with (and were initially a bit concerned by) that SpaceX example. However their situation is slightly different. They were able to hire Permanent Residents, but failed to mention in their ads that they could also hire a narrow subset of asylees and refugees who are considered US Persons despite not being Permanent Residents. (EDIT: I think the definition of "protected individual" at https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-M/part-120/subpart-C/section-120.62 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-22/chapter-I/subchapter-M... is the relevant one.) Our jobs are in a different category that is limited to US citizens.
