Common sense of American immigration supervision

The first common sense of immigration supervision in the United States

1. 1 year

According to the US immigration law, a person holding a green card who has left the United States for more than one year without applying for a re-entry permit is regarded as giving up his intention to make the United States his home. In this case, the customs can directly confiscate the green card of the green card holder. However, green card holders can also prove that they have not lost their intention. For example, green card holders cannot return to the United States due to objective reasons such as illness or criminal behavior.

Obtain a re-entry permit before leaving the United States, and allow permanent or conditional permanent residents to apply for entry into the United States within the validity period of the permit without obtaining a return resident visa from the US embassy or consulate abroad.

2. Two years.

If you stay outside the United States for more than 2 years, any re-entry permit approved before leaving the United States will be invalid. In this case, it is suggested to apply for returning the resident visa to the nearest American embassy or consulate (SB- 1). Applicants of SB- 1 will be required to determine the eligibility for an immigrant visa and have a medical examination.

3. Six months

Usually, green card holders simply enter the customs when they enter the United States, and there is no question of whether the customs approves entry, because they can legally enter the United States. This is different from other people who enter the US Customs with various visas. They all need customs approval to enter the country.

However, the US immigration law stipulates that if a green card holder leaves the country for more than six months at a time, then returning to the United States must be approved by the customs before entering the country. In this procedure, the customs has the right to judge whether the green card holder has lost his residence intention and thus lost his green card according to the residence intention standard. Therefore, if the green card holder leaves the country for more than six months at a time, the customs has certain discretion to cancel the green card of the green card holder.

In the process of maintaining this intention, the stay time is not the decisive factor. Considering the clear legal risks brought by leaving the country for six months at a time or 1 year, in practice, we will inform the green card holders that the time to leave the United States at a time should not exceed six months. Within six months, except for other special circumstances such as crime, it is actually the inherent right of green card holders to enter the United States. Border officials can only accept more questions and suggest that green card holders sign the I-407 form to give up their green cards automatically.

For green card holders who travel frequently, they must clearly indicate their intention to live in the United States as their home. If the customs knows that the green card holder has no intention to live during questioning, it can cancel the green card, because in the final analysis, intention is the basis for maintaining the green card.

It should be reminded that under the existing laws and regulations, although it is technically safe to leave the country for no more than six months at a time, I still want to emphasize that the fundamental purpose of maintaining a green card at any time is to have the intention of taking the United States as home, rather than being in that country at any time or most of the time. In addition to time, there are many factors related to intention, and green card holders need to make appropriate overall arrangements.

Chapter two: Educational differences between children studying in the United States and immigrants.

In terms of children's education, many parents are also entangled between studying abroad and immigration. Compared with domestic students, children with immigrant status have advantages over domestic students in tuition fees, scholarships, competitiveness and employment opportunities after graduation.

For the protection of local students, some colleges and universities in the United States usually do not open some advantageous majors to overseas students. Moreover, with the increase in the number of international students, there are only a handful of places and scholarships in private high-quality colleges in the United States, and American public colleges and universities do not recruit international students. You can imagine how fierce their competition is. However, immigrant children with American green cards can enjoy the same educational benefits as native American students and can attend American public high schools for free.

Cornell University undergraduate admission rate 13.96%. The lowest admission rate is Harvard University, only 5. 16%. Under normal circumstances, the admission rate of undergraduate courses in the United States is roughly inversely proportional to the ranking, and it is an indisputable fact that the competition is becoming more and more fierce. According to the current annual growth rate of the number of students studying in the United States, it can be inferred that China students will continue to face the "most difficult application season" for undergraduate courses in the United States in the future.

However, if domestic families apply to immigrate to the United States, children can enter American high schools and universities as American green cards, and they can apply as locals, which greatly improves the admission rate in the United States.

Children attending American schools in high schools can not only improve their English ability quickly, but also get familiar with the American educational environment as soon as possible. Through a period of American campus life experience, children can make more friends and set clearer goals. Moreover, after graduating from high school in the United States, children can enter universities from high school more smoothly, and future children can also work in the United States after graduation.

Reminder: in terms of immigration, whether it is the age of children, the educational advantages of the United States, or for education, we must treat them differently. It needs to be comprehensively considered according to the different situation of each family, the children's own personality characteristics, development potential, personal interests and hobbies.
