The U.S. Department of State (DOS) has issued a major policy shift that will have an impact on how immigrant visa applicants worldwide schedule and attend their interviews. Effective November 1, 2025, applicants must interview at the U.S. consular post in their country of residence or, with a properly filed request, in their country of nationality. With very limited exceptions, applicants will no longer have the freedom to choose where they complete the immigrant visa process. What This New DOS Rule Means in Practice For decades, some applicants were able to request “post-to-post transfers” for certain consular posts that offered…

Enterprise SEO once thrived on predictable and overly simplistic mechanics: running SEO audits, building keyword-driven pages, ensuring your information architecture is logical and clean, and creating linkable assets like calculators and guides. But search behavior is changing amongst the younger generations, and simply ranking #1 on Google for “best womens hiking boots” no longer works. What previous generations would use Google for, younger generations are now going to TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, and the most recent addition, generative AI tools like ChatGPT.  While Google Search is 373 times bigger than ChatGPT Search, no one truly knows what the landscape will look…

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced a major policy change that could affect thousands of people applying for U.S. citizenship. Through Policy Memorandum PM-602-0189, the agency is officially bringing back personal investigations of naturalization applicants, also referred to as “neighborhood investigations.” This move ends the general waiver of these investigations and returns USCIS to a more hands-on, case-by-case approach. While not every applicant will face a neighborhood visit, USCIS will now be using their discretion to conduct one whenever it seems necessary. What Are Neighborhood Investigations? Neighborhood investigations aren’t a new idea. In fact, they’ve been part of…

13 What if the way you have been measuring productivity is quietly draining your business of millions? For years, leaders in healthcare, finance, and agencies have trusted the same signals, such as hours worked, a green online status, endless meetings, and self-reported timesheets.  At first, these numbers look reassuring. In reality, they only show who looks busy, not who is actually moving the business forward.  That is why more companies are starting to question whether AI productivity metrics can give a clearer picture. It is like judging a hospital’s performance by how many lights are on instead of how many…

For many immigrants, receiving a green card is a life-changing milestone. It provides the right to live and work in the U.S. permanently, opening the door to stability and long-term opportunity.

20 Are office days really helping teams get more done, or do people work better when they are remote? Hybrid work has become the standard, and leaders need more than gut feeling to know if it truly works. Location-based productivity data, combined with Benchmarks AI, gives a clear view of how different environments shape performance.. The challenge is that many office vs remote decisions are still based on opinion. That means critical choices about productivity, engagement, payroll, and even office space often lack evidence. Take one financial services firm as an example. Leaders asked 300 analysts to come into the…
