There are many types of American immigrants. This paper lists the common types of American immigrants for reference. In addition to the following categories, American immigration can also be achieved through spouse immigration, marriage immigration, study abroad immigration and birth immigration.

Second, American professional immigrants (E3)

3. Language: Now all immigrant countries need English scores. Without English, it is difficult to apply for immigration, but such immigrants in the United States basically have no language requirements. This is very beneficial to China people.

Third, labor migration is the first priority (EB 1)

The first priority of labor migration is divided into three categories: (1) special talents, (2) outstanding professors and researchers, and (3) managers and supervisors of multinational companies.

(1) Special talents

"Special talents" mainly refer to those who have obtained national or international recognition in the fields of science, art, education, business or sports, and their research achievements have been widely affirmed in writing in this field. These people must be very few people who are considered to be the top in this field. "

Therefore, there are two types of "special talents" with the first priority:

First, talents who have achieved one-time major international achievements, or won prizes or made major inventions. For example: Nobel Prize winner, Olympic medal or trophy winner, etc. Just this international award, these talents will be welcomed by the American government and immigrate to the United States easily.

The other category is "special talents" who have not won the above international awards but meet the following three conditions:

A awards or medals or international recognition for outstanding achievements in this field. Schools, municipal and even provincial awards do not meet the requirements.

B. Members of national or internationally recognized professional societies, associations, groups or organizations are required to have certain qualifications and level to join.

C. being reported by newspapers, radio, television or other news media because of achievements in skills.

D, in the form of groups or individuals, make judgments or evaluations on an activity, an organ or a group in a certain field, such as the editorial board of a magazine or having been invited to comment on other people's works and articles.

E. those who have made outstanding contributions in their major or field (including science, academics, art, sports or business).

F. Applicants in newspapers

Articles or books published or planned to be published in magazines.

G outstanding creations or works or achievements in art exhibitions or exhibitions.

I. get a high salary or remuneration in the same field.

J, has created high commercial value in the field of art, and has official statistics, such as issuing tapes, CDs or videos.

K there is other similar evidence to prove the applicant's outstanding ability.

If the above three conditions are met, there is no need to queue up and you can apply for immigration directly. It should be noted that meeting the above three conditions does not mean that it looks "consistent" in theory, but actually has deeper requirements.

(2) Outstanding professors and researchers

Outstanding professors and researchers are one of the most commonly used applications in the first priority of labor migration. The English code is usually called EB1b. Outstanding professors and researchers must have permanent job opportunities. Postdoctoral research is not a permanent job opportunity. Outstanding professors and researchers must also be engaged in teaching or research in an academic field for at least three years or more. The research during the doctoral period can be counted as the work experience of applying for EB1B. In addition, outstanding professors and researchers must also be professors and researchers who have achieved internationally recognized outstanding academic achievements in a special field.

It can be seen that applying for EB 1B for foreign employees who are looking for university teaching and company research work is very promising. The most important part of the application is how to prove that the professor or researcher is an internationally recognized outstanding person in the academic field. The immigration law has simple provisions on this. In other words, as long as you can provide at least two of the six supporting documents mentioned below, the applicant can claim that his achievements are: internationally recognized Excellence:

1。 He has won a major achievement award or an outstanding achievement award (the award is not required to be "or");

2。 Association members who require outstanding achievements in the academic field;
