What benefits can American green card holders enjoy in the United States?

The American green card is an ID card used to prove that foreigners have permanent resident status in the United States. In the United States, after obtaining a green card, new immigrants can effectively use the extra benefits of the green card in this way:

the birth of a child

Children born to any American (including illegal immigrants) in the United States will be regarded as American citizens, holding American passports, staying outside the United States without restrictions, and being free to enter and leave the United States for life. /kloc-citizens aged 0/8 will legally enjoy all the rights and interests of American citizens after taking the oath, including immediately handling American immigration for their spouses, children and parents.

Children's tuition

/kloc-before going to college at the age of 0/8, all primary and secondary schools in the United States implemented compulsory education, that is, zero tuition (except "aristocratic" private boarding schools). In contrast, at present, the cost of studying abroad in primary and secondary schools in the United States is more than 20 thousand dollars. Going to college (including graduate students and doctoral students) only pays local tuition fees. Take California for example. In a medium-level California public university, foreign students pay more than15,000 dollars a year, while "locals" pay only more than 2,000 dollars a year at California State University.

Student loan

18 or more American green card holders can apply for various kinds of student loans in the year when they get the American green card. For example, the tuition of an excellent American private university is as high as about $30,000 a year. When American green card holders want to study for a two-year master's degree, they can get a loan of 60 thousand to 70 thousand dollars. After graduation, if you can't find a job, you don't have to pay the loan. After finding a job, pay it off in years. Usually only one-tenth of the salary is repaid every month. In America, no one can't go to school because of financial difficulties.

scholarship

For ordinary China people who are interested in applying for American university scholarships, they can only compete with outstanding people from all over the world for very limited scholarship places open to foreigners. But for people with American green cards, the scope of scholarships is far from what a foreigner can apply for. Because many scholarship institutions in the United States limit scholarships to "Americans" (people with permanent residency in the United States).

The government helps you find a job.

The United States government has specialized agencies to find jobs for Americans free of charge. As long as American green card holders register their skills, expertise 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.

Freedom of employment

American green card holders are not restricted from working in the United States. 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 foreign students in extremely unequal competition with American students when they look for jobs after graduation from university. American green card holders don't have to worry, they can change from "inferior party" to "superior party".

Retirement benefits

Accumulated ten-year tax records (the bottom line is about $50 per month), and after retirement (usually 65 years old), you can receive a pension issued by the US federal government for life (1000 ~ 1200 dollars per month). For many immigrants, the number of years of receiving a pension is more than the number of years of paying taxes.

unemployment relief

When an applicant, spouse or even a child has no job after transferring to an American 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.

Medical insurance for the elderly

In the United States, medical expenses are quite high, but any "low-income" American green card holder (with no tax record) can apply for a "medical card" after retirement, and there is no need to spend money on a card to see what is wrong. This can completely relieve the worries of the elderly who are sick. For non-low-income people, as long as they have a ten-year accumulated tax record and pay a small amount of insurance after retirement, they don't have to bear the medical expenses themselves.

housing allowance

American green card holders can apply for buying apartments for low-income elderly people after retirement. You can buy a house subsidized by your country in the United States at about 35% of the market price.

government subsidy

When American green card holders have no accumulated tax records for ten years before retirement, as long as they become American citizens, the government will directly issue living allowances (more than $600 per month) after retirement (65 years old).
