    Guyana Introduces New In-Person Requirement For CARICOM Skills Endorsement

    This law might seem beneficial on the surface, but has anyone considered the potential tax implications of holding dual citizenship? Especially for those from countries like the US that tax their citizens abroad. It’s worth examining the details more carefully before jumping in.

    The Impact Of Artificial Intelligence On Immigration Systems: Opportunities And Challenges

    While predictive technology sounds great in theory, I’m skeptical about its accuracy. Predicting human behavior isn’t easy, and AI doesn’t always get it right. Plus, there’s the issue of who controls the data and how it’s used. We can’t just trust that it will be handled responsibly.
