List of American immigration routes

With the improvement of people's living standards, more and more people plan to immigrate to the United States, so what are the ways to apply for immigration to the United States? Next, let's take a look at the list of American immigration routes. Welcome to reading.

I. Humanitarian reasons (asylum)

In addition to occupation and relatives, you can also apply for immigration to the United States through other humanitarian channels, including seeking asylum. The common reasons for asylum are religion, politics, race, only child, homosexuality and so on.

America was founded by immigrants. The founders themselves are a group of people persecuted in their own country. Therefore, the United States will provide a safe haven for those who are persecuted in their own country for specific reasons and have real fears.

There are five acceptable reasons under the framework of American immigration law: persecution based on race, persecution based on religion, persecution based on nationality, persecution based on political views, and persecution based on belonging to a specific social group.

Asylum applications should be based on persecution, not general unhappiness, persecution should be based on the above five reasons rather than arbitrary retaliation, and applicants should have real fears. Zhang Daqin Law Firm does not apply for asylum, but would like to remind applicants that asylum applications need to be based on real fears.

In the process of applying for asylum, the applicant needs to face the inquiry of the immigration judge, and all the facts and details must stand scrutiny. Asylum applications should be filed within one year after entering the United States. If the asylum application is approved, you can submit a green card application one year after approval.

Second, lottery immigrants.

Lottery immigration sounds like the easiest way. Maybe you are wondering why you haven't heard of this method before. The official name of lottery immigrants is diversity visa, which aims to increase the diversity of the domestic population in the United States.

For countries and regions with less than 50,000 immigrants to the United States in the past five years, 50,000 places are randomly reserved every year. In view of the large number of immigrants from Chinese mainland to the United States, compatriots born in Chinese mainland obviously don't have this opportunity.

However, people born outside the mainland, including those born in Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province, can still register for the lucky draw. If your spouse meets the requirements, you can also participate in the lucky draw.

Although it is a diversified visa, it is also eligible for lottery winners, but compared with the above requirements of professional immigrants, it is much simpler. Lottery winners need to have a high school education or more than two years of technical work experience.

If you only know this route and meet the requirements, remember to draw a lottery ticket during the next registration period. By the way, signing up for the lucky draw is still free.

Third, immigrants who joined the army.

Many countries give preferential treatment to military personnel, and the United States is a country that respects military personnel extremely and gives preferential treatment everywhere. Joining the army can not only get a green card quickly, but also be naturalized directly and quickly, with no time limit for residence.

20 13, 10, 1, the Military Access (MAVNI) of the US Army is open to non-citizens and non-green card holders, and eligible participants can quickly become American citizens. MAVNI project caused great repercussions in the Chinese community from the beginning, because it seems that many Chinese can meet the recruitment conditions. In the recruitment plan, applicants are required to have legal status in the United States for at least two years. In addition to medical personnel, the types of personnel recruited also include people who can speak a specific language (including Chinese).

If you pass the recruitment, you must serve for at least 4 years according to the recruitment conditions. If the purpose of joining the army is only to get a green card or naturalization, then think about it. This recruitment plan will last until May 20 16, 15, and the annual recruitment will reach 1500.

Four. Amnesty-special bill

The United States Congress can pass legislation to grant immigrants status or benefits. The bill sometimes applies to specific groups of people (for example, people who arrived in the United States before a certain month) or specific people.

Every few years, the United States will alleviate the problem of illegal immigration through Amnesty. The president of the United States or the congress of both parties should also win public support through Amnesty. The comprehensive immigration reform plan is still under discussion. Whether it can be passed or when it will be passed is unknown.
