Application materials and documents for American relative immigration

Relatives who are American citizens or permanent residents apply to the regional center of the Immigration Bureau, and the basic information required for the application is as follows:

(1) Ask the local immigration office for a relative visa application form, that is, 1- 130 form, and fill it out carefully as required, detailing the relative relationship between the applicant and the applicant in Ming and their respective real situations.

(2) The applicant must show his identity certificate. If you are an American citizen, you must provide a birth certificate or a naturalization certificate, that is, a citizenship certificate. If you are a foreigner, you must provide a legal residence certificate, that is, the l- 15 1 form, that is, a "green card".

(3) Proof of kinship between the beneficiary and the applicant. For example, a marriage certificate that proves the relationship between spouses can prove the relationship between children, parents, brothers and sisters, and a birth certificate, including the date and place of birth, parents' names, etc. These certificates are generally issued by the notary office where the beneficiary is located in duplicate, one of which is translated into English and submitted to the US Immigration Bureau after being approved by the US Embassy or Consulate General. After the submitted immigration documents are examined and approved by the Immigration Bureau, the Immigration Bureau will issue an immigration visa approval notice to the applicant, and the applicant will then send the entry approval notice to the beneficiary or consulate.

When the Immigration Bureau approves its immigration application, it will send a notice of approval to the American applicant, and at the same time, it will send another set of relevant approval documents to the American consulate of the beneficiary's country. After receiving the approval documents from the Immigration Bureau, the consulate will send a notice and detailed requirements to the beneficiaries. Beneficiaries should complete relevant certificates, and generally need to prepare the following documents:

(1) Fill in the resume (form-179) of the visa applicant sent by embassies and consulates in China, USA, and fill it out and send it to embassies and consulates in China as soon as possible.

(2) Apply to the local notary office for birth certificate, marriage certificate and other kinship certificates.

(3) Any applicant over the age of 16 must also apply to the local notary office for a certificate of innocence to prove that the applicant has never committed a crime. If there is a crime, the crime and sentence must be stated.

(4) Physical examination certificate (issued by a hospital recognized by the consulate).

(5) A life guarantee issued by American relatives, which proves that the applicant will not become an economic guarantee for the American public after entering the United States. This certificate must be notarized. Generally, the above documents need to be prepared in duplicate, and the Chinese certificate must be accompanied by an English translation. If necessary, you must also prepare a photo with your relatives in the United States and previous letters (there must be an original envelope to prove that the relatives are reliable). After all the application materials are ready, they can be sent to embassies and consulates in China, USA.

Extended reading: introduction to common problems of American immigrants

1. What is US Citizenship and Immigration Service?

The US Immigration Service is affiliated with the US Department of Homeland Security. The Immigration Bureau is the law enforcement agency of immigration law, which is responsible for handling immigration and non-immigration applications, foreigners' entry and exit, border patrol, arrest and expulsion of illegal foreigners, refugee review and punishment of illegal employment. Ordinary foreigners handle four regional immigration service centers that directly accept immigration and non-immigration applications, as well as immigration branches and offices that handle daily immigration affairs. The latter is commonly known as the "local immigration bureau". There are about 60 local immigration offices in the United States, but only 36 immigration branches have the right to approve. Immigration generally only transfers applications and conducts interviews.

2. How many EB-5 visas does the Immigration Bureau issue each year?

The main difference is that investors can choose the investment scheme of special economic zones, and they don't need to hire ten employees themselves, but they can enjoy the calculation method of indirect job opportunities in special economic zones. In terms of local economic prosperity, all walks of life can calculate their achievements in job creation due to the overall economic growth result of capital inflow and employment increase. For example, although you don't employ bus drivers in your investment business, after the local economic prosperity, the number of bus trips has increased, and the work of bus drivers has increased accordingly. This overall economic growth can be regarded as creating employment opportunities in the SAR.
