What are the social benefits of immigrating to America?

# American Immigration # Introduction The social welfare needs in the United States depend on your immigration status, the length of time you have lived in the United States, and your income. You or your family may be eligible for other federal benefits. Let's look at what social welfare in the United States includes.

1. What are the social benefits of emigrating to the United States?

I. Overview

The contents of American social welfare include pension, disability welfare, federal medical care, food stamps and other forms, and most of the people targeted are the elderly or the disabled.

America's welfare system also includes federal health care and food stamps. Federal medical care is an expensive medical expense, which is used to help the elderly over 65 and the disabled under 65. It is divided into hospital insurance and medical insurance. One-third of the medical insurance premium is allocated by the federal government from taxes, and the rest is the monthly insurance premium paid by the applicant himself. Food stamps are designed to solve the problem of feeding the poor. The applicant should show his income certificate and passbook in person at the office. After the application is approved, they can receive a card to redeem food stamps within 10 days.

There are two main forms of social welfare checks in the United States: one is a pension check and the other is a disability check. The purpose of these two welfare checks is mainly to give back and help the disadvantaged groups in society and ensure the basic quality of life of American citizens.

Second, receive social security benefits.

If you are disabled due to physical or mental reasons, but you can't work or even die for at least one year, then you or your children (with low income or no viability) can apply for Supplementary Security Income (SSI). This kind of welfare is called social security subsidy and relief fund. Please refer to the government publicationNo. 05- 1 1000. You should apply for such benefits as soon as possible, because it takes a long time from application to collection. If you receive social security benefits and your annual income exceeds $25,000, or your husband and wife earn more than $32,000, you must pay federal income tax.

Third, federal medical insurance.

Medical assistance is also deducted from everyone's salary and used for medical insurance for the elderly over 65. Some people under 65 are also eligible for federal medical insurance, including the disabled. This plan helps pay for medical expenses, but does not include all medical expenses or most long-term care expenses.

Medical insurance and Medicaid are different. Medicaid is a kind of help for people with low income and no financial resources. This subsidy is handled by social welfare and other institutions. Some people are entitled to two kinds of benefits, while others can only enjoy one of them.

Usually, you have to work in the United States for at least ten years (or 40 quarters) to get these medical insurance benefits.

Two parts of applying for federal medical insurance:

A, hospital insurance (Part A) is responsible for paying the expenses of part of family medical care and hospice care centers in inpatient hospitals or professional nursing sanatoriums (after hospitalization).

B. medical insurance (part b) is responsible for paying for doctor services and many other medical services and supplies not covered by hospital insurance. Generally, people over the age of 65 can enjoy part A medical insurance, and part B insurance requires extra diplomatic money. In 2005, the monthly fee was $78.20. Anyone who can get part A insurance can apply for part B insurance.

2. American immigration channels

1, work visa

If the company where your parents work has a branch in the United States and you are an executive, you can get the opportunity to work in the American branch and get an L 1 visa, then your children can go to public schools in the United States for free, and so can your spouse.

I own a company and opened a branch in America.

If you have your own company in China, or have stayed in this company for at least one year, you can do business in the United States, and you can open a branch in the United States as long as you meet certain conditions.

You can register a brand-new company yourself. There are no requirements or restrictions on the investment quota. You can also buy or merge existing American companies. You can get the L 1 visa soon, your children can go to American public schools for free, and your spouse can apply legally. Moreover, there is no time limit for staying in the United States, and there is no immigration supervisor.

3. Relatives emigrate

The arrangement of brothers and sisters is very long, about 10 years. Let's not talk about it here for the time being. Our premise does not apply.

4. Investing in immigrants

There are two kinds of investment immigrants. One is the well-known EB-5 regional center investment, that is, 500,000 US dollars is invested in the regional center in the United States, the project is theirs, and the management and operation are also theirs. In this way, the selection of projects is very important.

5, outstanding talents, feasible, pick people.

Many performing stars and sports stars immigrate through excellent talents.

If you say that you are an outstanding talent, you must produce evidence to prove that you are outstanding, such as your qualification certificate, or how many achievements you have made in a certain industry/field, such as how many papers you have published as a university professor, such as your TV interview, such as your book. This evidence doesn't mean that you can compile it immediately if you want it now.

Step 6 marry an American

It is feasible to obtain identity through marriage.

Step 7 join the army

MAVNI project, operated by the U.S. Department of Defense, is specially designed to attract foreign youth to join the army. MAVNI is a talent recruitment plan in short supply, which is mainly used to meet the needs of the military for special talents, such as medical personnel and foreign language talents.

8. Political BH

Indeed, many people have acquired their identities in this way, and the cost is the lowest. As long as one of the husband and wife or the whole family apply together and ask a lawyer to handle it, they only need to pay a little government fee and lawyer's fee, which does not exceed $65,438+0,000 yuan. After the passage, the family can solve the identity problem together.

Second, the 90-day rule for American immigrants.

It can be simply understood that you must enter the United States for more than 90 days before submitting your application. According to FAM 302.9 (U), Section 9 of the Foreign Affairs Manual of the State Council, USA, a foreigner holding a non-immigrant visa who applies for status adjustment within 90 days after entering the United States will be presumed to be "deliberately making false statements". According to INA 2 12(a)(6)(C), foreigners who make false statements about important facts and obtain visas or other travel documents to enter the United States or obtain other immigration benefits will constitute reasons for not entering the country, and may even be banned from entering the country for life.

3. What behaviors will violate the "90-day rule"?

Officials have given the following acts that may violate the "90-day rule", including but not limited to: (1) working in the United States without application; (Note: Some activities may not constitute illegal work, such as those permitted by 9 FAM 402.2-5(E)); (2) You don't need to apply for and/or adjust your status to study in the United States; (3) Holding a B visa, marrying an American citizen or holding a green card, and living in the United States for a long time (the relevant evidence that can prove "long-term residence" includes: whether the applicant has signed a rental contract or purchased a house, whether there is a water bill and a gas bill with the applicant's name written on it, and whether the applicant has obtained a driver's license locally, etc. ); (four) do not change or adjust the identity, engage in any activities that need to be based on changing or adjusting the identity.

Fourth, the advantages of American immigrants.

The college admission rate is higher.

Overseas status can greatly improve the admission rate of universities. According to the latest undergraduate admission rate of Ivy League universities in the United States on 20 17, students with American green cards are 9 times more likely to be admitted to Ivy League universities as international students than ordinary students.

Tuition is cheaper.

The tuition fees of international students and green card holders are different. According to the tuition data of UCLA, non-resident students pay $29,754 more than resident students each academic year. With green card status, you can save about 770,000 RMB in tuition fees in four years.

Scholarships and grants

Green card holders are more likely to get scholarships, and scholarships in many institutions are not open to international students. In addition, international students cannot apply for the Federal Student Loan (FAFSA), and only American citizens or green card holders are eligible to apply.

There is no limit to the choice of majors.

Some majors are only open to students with American identity, and international students cannot apply. For example, there are about 150 medical schools in the United States, but only dozens of international students can apply.

You can work while you are at school.

Student visas are not allowed to work in the United States. They can only do some part-time jobs at school. Once they are found to be working illegally, they will be recorded and will affect future visa applications. Green card holders will not be subject to such restrictions.

Conducive to employment after graduation.

When recruiting, the company will give priority to applicants with the same level and identity. This is also the policy of the US government to protect the employment of its own people.
