How to avoid the common problems of American immigrants

The United States is a country that values its own literacy. Although it is not written down in the immigration requirements, it is a necessary condition for the review. Here's how to avoid the common problems of American immigrants.

1. What is USCIS?

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 have the most contact with four regional service centers that directly accept immigrant and non-immigrant applications, as well as regional offices and branches that handle daily immigration affairs. The latter is commonly known as "local 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 2.USCIS issue each year?

The EB-5 project under the supervision of the US Immigration Bureau issues 65,438+00,000 visas to foreign investors (and their families) who create or maintain at least 65,438+00 full-time employment opportunities every year, of which 5,000 visas are reserved for foreign investors who invest in regional centers.

3. For investors, what is the difference between the investment immigration scheme of choosing special economic zones (namely "regional centers") and the general EB-5 investment immigration scheme in other regions?

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.

Does the $45,000 investment and fund issuance fee include legal fees?

The investment and fund issuance fee of $500,000 does not include lawyer's fees, which need to be paid separately.

5. How long will it take to process the I-526 application?

After you submit the I-526 application form, the current review time of USCIS is about 14 months, and the interview period of NVC stage and Guangzhou Consulate is about 6-8 months (depending on specific policies and personal circumstances).

6.2/kloc-how is the age of a child 0/year old defined?

Lawyers will apply for the "Child Protection Law" when submitting applications, and they will lock their ages during the I-526 approval time.

7. When can I apply for a permanent green card once I get a conditional green card?

The conditional green card starts from the date of landing and expires two years later. You can submit the I-829 application form three months before the deadline. The regional center and American lawyers provide you with all supporting documents related to limited partnership and capital contribution, and are responsible for recording all employment opportunities created.

Once the I-829 application form is submitted to the US Immigration Service, your conditional permanent residency can be extended for one year. Please bring your USCIS I-829 receiving notice and conditional green card to enter and leave the United States.

8. What is the difference between "conditional" and "unconditional" green cards?

According to the regulations, if you get an EB-5 immigrant visa, you will get a "conditional" green card valid for two years; After I-829' s application for termination conditions is passed, the "conditional" green card will be converted into an "unconditional" green card, with the validity period of 10 year. In addition, two green cards enjoy the same rights and privileges.

9. Who can obtain permanent residency ("green card")?

You (the investor), your spouse and all unmarried children under 2 1 year old when submitting the I-526 application form have the right to obtain a green card. Adopted children can also be counted as family members. The adopted child should be under the age of 16 and have lived with the applicant for more than 2 years.

10. How long is the validity of the permanent residency (unconditional green card)?

/kloc-0 0 year.

1 1. How long do I have to stay in America every year?

You must land within 180 days after receiving the visa issued by the American overseas consulate. Once you come to the United States, you need to establish residence status. Ways to prove that you live in the United States include:

Open a bank account.

Get a driver's license

Get a social security number

4. Pay state and federal income taxes

Rent or buy a house

If your business or professional nature requires it, you can work overseas. But if you live outside the United States, we suggest that you and your family go to the United States once every six months.

If you and your family don't stay in the United States long enough, the government may claim that you have given up your permanent residency in the United States, which will endanger your green card status. The longer investors and their families live in the United States, the less likely it is for the US government to claim that investors have "given up" living in the United States, thus affecting the issuance of green cards.
