The latest policy of American immigrants returning to China

If you get an American green card, you are not an American citizen, but a citizen of China, because you actually have a China passport. You don't need a visa to get an American green card, because you are still a citizen of China, and your passport is still a China passport. Of course, you don't need a visa to enter China.

But the United States has immigration supervision, which means you can return to China, but you can't return to China after 1 year. If you stay for more than a year, the time you stay in front doesn't count. From the day you re-enter the United States, you must accept immigration supervision again.

However, if you become an American citizen, you need a visa to come to China. Because only three countries in the world can stay in China for two weeks without a visa, they are: Japan, Brunei and Singapore. In other words, other countries need visas to enter China.

If you sign a tourist visa, you can stay for 3 months. After 3 months, you can enter China with another visa after leaving China, so you can stay for another 3 months.

Having American identity here should actually mean becoming an American citizen and holding an American passport, so that you can buy air tickets directly to many countries in the world without a visa.

You can only apply for American citizenship if you have a green card for more than 5 years, so that you can change your passport into an American passport. Only in this way can you become a real American citizen.

Visa right

Almost all embassies and consulates outside the United States have some absolute right of self-determination in the decision-making of visa applications. In the words of China people, there is quite a feeling that the sky is high and the emperor is far away. However, because the US Immigration Bureau operates in full accordance with the provisions and procedures of the immigration law and has the characteristics of standardization, the processing of applications is exactly the opposite of that of overseas embassies and consulates in many aspects.

Audit restriction

Whether it is the administrative appeal office of the General Administration of Immigration, or the decisions of immigration judges, immigration appeal committees or federal courts on immigration appeal cases, they are binding on the Immigration Bureau.

Appeal channel

If most applications are rejected by the Immigration Bureau, applicants have the opportunity to appeal until they appeal to the federal court. In addition, the Immigration Bureau itself also provides informal appeal channels, such as asking the Immigration Bureau to "reconsider" the application.

Immigration generally does not interview non-immigrant applications, except in some cases. Immigration applications have also begun to exempt those who meet the requirements from interviews.

Auditing standards

Since most applications are accepted by the four service centers of the Immigration Bureau, the review criteria are basically the same.

prudent

Like overseas consuls, immigration officials have considerable discretion when applying. However, because applicants have more channels to appeal, in fact, discretion is used more in approved cases than in rejected cases.

Reject an application

Contrary to overseas embassies and consulates, the Immigration Bureau will send a written notice to any rejected application and tell them the detailed reasons for rejection.

Unable to select

When making an application, the applicant can only submit it to the designated immigration service center or the local immigration bureau according to his place of residence or business.

However, for applicants, having a wider range of identity choices does not mean that they can get the right choice, just as having more appeal channels does not necessarily mean that they can appeal successfully. Many times, it depends on the applicant's understanding of the provisions of the immigration law, as well as the organizational structure and operation of the immigration bureau.
