What if I immigrate to San Francisco and can't speak English?

Travel video Wan Yang: Generally speaking, there are five ways to immigrate to the United States. General immigration companies will make immigration plans according to individual requirements.

Work immigrant: H- 1B work visa

When you find a job after graduating from an American university, you can ask your employer to help you apply for an H- 1B professional visa. If you can maintain your H- 1B, you can apply for a green card for migrant workers within six years. Visa H- 1B requires the employer to submit an application for labor status to the Labor Bureau, and the operation is complicated. It is best to hire an experienced lawyer to handle the relevant application procedures.

Work immigrant: L- 1 work visa

L- 1 visa refers to the visa for employees of overseas multinational companies to apply for legal work in the United States, which is divided into L- 1A and L-1b. L- 1A is a visa held by executives of American multinational companies; L- 1B to the core technicians of multinational companies. Spouses of both types of people can apply for L-2 visas.

If you have a well-run company in China, and you are the boss, shareholder, senior manager or professional technician of this company, you can consider coming to the United States with an L- 1 visa.

L- 1 visas are generally divided into three categories: one is the management or technical personnel sent by China's parent company to the US branch; Second: companies operating in the United States with the funds of the parent company (the business scope can be completely unrelated to the parent company), or shares in existing companies in the United States (the share ratio is more than 565,438+0%); Third: China skilled workers employed by American companies (mainly manufacturers).

Because there are many skills to apply for L- 1 visa, and maintaining L- 1 visa also requires all aspects to do a good job, so in recent years, not many people finally get green cards through L- 1 visa.

Investment immigration: EB-5 visa

If you have no less than $500,000, you can consider EB-5, a project in which one person invests in family migration (the child must be under 265,438+0 when applying).

EB-5 has two working modes. One is to invest $500,000 in the regional center project to create 10 jobs, that is, to obtain a temporary green card for two years about one year after the investment is approved. If nothing happens, you can apply for a formal green card in the third year.

Conversely, if you spend more than $6,543.8+0,000 on a project in the United States, you still need to solve 654.38+0 employment opportunities. As long as your business doesn't fail, you can get an American green card.

EB-5 is very attractive to the rich, but it also has many loopholes, especially the investment projects in regional centers are full of traps. Investors need to have good psychological quality and careful analysis, and don't "lose your wife and lose your soldiers" in the end.
