What are the benefits of going to school after immigrants get American green cards?

In recent years, more and more parents have begun to realize the convenience of going to school with a green card, and consider applying for an American green card first, and then let their children apply for an American school. Here are the advantages of immigrants going to school after getting a green card in the United States. Welcome to read!

1. High admission rate: In the United States, public primary and secondary schools are not open to international students, and international students can only choose expensive private primary and secondary schools. After having a green card in the United States, in addition to attending public primary and secondary schools, the chances of entering a top university at the university application stage will be greater. For example, in the top 20 universities in the United States, about 90% of the places will be reserved for domestic students and green card holders, and only 6%- 10% is for international students, which shows the intensity. Not only that, a considerable number of popular majors are very demanding when accepting international students, and even refuse to accept them. With the American green card, children can enjoy the same admission treatment as American children.

2. Low tuition fees for students: The tuition fees for students with green cards are only one-third of those for international students. Studying abroad is an expensive investment. The annual tuition fee for international students in American universities is at least $25,000, and the fees for preparatory courses, undergraduate courses and master's degrees are above RMB 6,543.8+0,000. But after getting a green card through immigration, the cost of attending public schools can be reduced by at least half. Although universities are not free, in public universities, local people usually pay only one-third of the cost of international students. At the same time, with the green card, you can apply for scholarships, grants and legal jobs, enjoy various benefits and medical security of local students, and be accompanied by your family. This sense of security is also important for children's physical and mental development.

3. Wide range of scholarships: The range of scholarships that students with green cards can enjoy far exceeds the range that international students can apply for. For China students who are interested in applying for American university scholarships, they can only compete with outstanding students from all over the world for very limited scholarship places open to international students. But for students with green cards, the scope of scholarships they can enjoy far exceeds the scope that an international student can apply for. Because many scholarship institutions in the United States limit scholarships to "Americans" (including American green card holders). Therefore, after immigrating to the United States, children are far more likely to apply for scholarships than international students.

4. You can apply for student loans: Green card holders above 18 can apply for various student loans in the year when they get their green cards. Take the excellent private universities in the United States as an example, the annual tuition fee is as high as 30 thousand dollars; If a green card holder wants to study for a master's degree for two years, it is not difficult to apply for a student loan of 60,000 to 70,000 dollars. In case you can't find a job after graduation, the loan can be paid off temporarily and paid off in years after you find a job. Usually you only need to pay one tenth of your salary every month to repay the loan. In America, no one can't go to school because of financial difficulties.

5. Medical insurance: The medical expenses of students with green cards are mostly borne by social insurance.

6. Freedom of employment: After graduation, you don't have to squeeze the H- 1B visa with international students, you can stay in the United States with peace of mind and find the most suitable job, and it is easier to get a high salary and better development space. In order to protect the interests of Americans, many jobs in the United States (high-tech, biochemical, military and other research, production, security work) are not open to foreigners, even if foreigners have corresponding knowledge and expertise. This situation makes international students in an extremely unequal competitive situation with American students when they look for jobs after graduating from college. Green card holders need not worry, they can change from "inferior party" to "superior party". You can also freely choose to return to China for development, and you have an advantage by virtue of your green card status.

7. The government helps to find jobs: The U.S. government has specialized agencies to find jobs for its people free of charge. As long as green card holders register their skills, specialties and interests in this department, this department will find jobs for people free of charge. At the same time, the department also provides free training in basic skills (such as computer and English) for people waiting for employment to help them find jobs.

8. You can get a better living environment, pension, medical care, overseas asset allocation, international access and many other conveniences.

9. Unemployment benefits: When an applicant, spouse or even a child has no job after transferring to a green card, the government will find a job for you free of charge. With a six-month tax record, you can get government relief (ranging from $400 to 1200 per month) when you declare unemployment to local authorities in the United States.

10. You can also choose to return to China for employment. Holding an American green card has many advantages.

1. The tax bill is very favorable evidence to prove that the holder of the green card intends to maintain the status of permanent resident, and timely tax return can prove that he is fulfilling his obligations to American society as a permanent resident of the United States. American permanent residents working overseas should also fill in forms 1040 and 1 1 16, and consult an accountant to calculate the tax returns in proportion. According to the US tax law, American permanent residents can get a tax-free annual income of $70,000 if they work overseas.

2 relatives and family members address, nature and place of work. If the reason for leaving the United States is to be sent overseas by the company, the company's certification letter needs to specify the working hours and nature of the work.

3 real estate ownership certificate, bank account certificate, credit card, valid driver's license, auto insurance, medical insurance, etc.

4. Re-entry permit (if the green card holder needs to leave the United States for more than half a year)

5. Proof of contact with local communities in the United States: proof of participation in various social groups, alliances, clubs, etc. , and various membership cards.

Green card holders must carefully take as many measures as possible to prove that they have not given up their resident status and keep their green cards.

According to the US immigration law, if a green card holder stays outside the United States for more than 180 days, even if he does not voluntarily give up his green card, the US Immigration Bureau has the right to question whether he still has the intention of taking the United States as his long-term residence when applying for re-entry with a green card.

But this does not mean that permanent residents will not lose their permanent residency if they return to the United States for a few days every six months. If you keep going back to the United States every six months, there may be no consequences in the first two to three years, but after a long time, the risk of being considered by the immigration authorities to have given up the intention of staying in the United States permanently will increase.

Therefore, it is appropriate for the green card holder to inform the US Immigration Service in advance that he may leave the United States for more than half a year, and to show that he has no intention of giving up his permanent residency by applying for re-entry permit. However, the re-entry permit itself cannot completely prevent the entry-exit port staff from questioning and judging your intention of giving up permanent residence in the United States.

If you can't avoid living outside the United States for a long time, then keep the following evidence to answer the immigration question about your permanent residence intention:

1. The annual income tax shall be paid according to the regulations of the Internal Revenue Service. And make tax return records;

2. Have a residential address in the United States;

3. Have a bank account in the United States;

4. Hold a valid American driver's license and carry it with you when entering the country;

5. Have an American credit card;

6. Owning houses, automobiles and other industries in the United States;

7. Bring a social security card into the country;

8. Keep your green card within the validity period and apply for a new green card before the validity period expires.
