Should parents send their children to study in America?

Not only big entrepreneurs expect to train successors through education, but many small and medium-sized entrepreneurs also hope to improve their children's international outlook and all-round literacy through elite education. Therefore, they were sent to Europe and the United States to study, and received the best local education at school, which not only improved their language ability, but also allowed them to get in touch with elites from all over the world and lay a rich international network. These intangible assets will become the backing of future enterprise growth and the best "soft power" to expand these "hard power" of family property.

How to cultivate children's soft power to go to the United States in a planned way?

At present, more and more entrepreneurs appreciate the educational environment provided by the United States, so they send their children to famous schools in the United States to study, and the schools perform well. These prestigious schools are full of talents and provide invaluable interpersonal networks. It is suggested that entrepreneurs who want to send their children to study in the United States should plan ahead to cultivate their children's ability to study in the United States while expecting their children's success, so that their children can become solid successors in the future.

How to cultivate children's soft power? If you want your children to go to middle schools in the United States as soon as possible, it is suggested to actively cultivate their English ability in primary school and take various exams to apply for private middle schools in the United States in the fifth and sixth grades of primary school. After all, the entrance threshold for private secondary schools in the United States is high, which cannot be achieved in a month or two. In addition, American education attaches great importance to children's personal specialties, and it takes a long time to cultivate the specialties that can achieve results. If parents can plan for their children for two years and do the following preparatory steps, they can finally apply to a good school:

First, assess children's learning strength;

Second, find professionals to help you learn and develop your expertise;

Third, go to the United States regularly to participate in summer camps, popular science exhibitions and other activities;

Fourth, planning time participation? SSAT (American Senior High School Entrance Examination), TOEFL, AMC (Asians must highlight their mathematical advantages);

5. Plan the interview time in the top middle schools in the United States;

Sixth, reasonably plan the application schedule for applying to top American middle schools.

As far as the students currently studying in the United States are concerned, we can find that if their children study in the United States at the middle school stage, they will be able to show the level of their peers in the process of applying for universities in the future, whether they are adapting to American culture or their academic performance; On the other hand, students who study in the United States at the university stage have to adapt to life quickly and have difficulties in their studies.

What's the difference between holding a green card and studying in the United States on a student visa?

Many parents are faced with the problem of whether their children will immigrate after studying in the United States. Many people were sent abroad to study when their children were in middle school, but four years later, they had to face their children and apply for universities. If a child wants to apply to a top university in the United States, whether he is an American citizen or not and whether he has a green card will be a key factor.

In the United States, in principle, foreigners need green cards to attend public primary and secondary schools. If you attend a private school, you need to apply for I-20 and get a student visa of F 1 College students also apply for I-20 as international students, but as far as good schools are concerned, the competition among international students is fierce, and the number of places that outstanding students from all countries want to grab is less than 10% of the total. Unless the applicant has special performance (such as the winner of the Olympic Games), the chances of admission are not great. On the other hand, if you have a green card, you can compete with ordinary Americans on the same starting line.

On the other hand, if students are not American citizens or hold green cards, the chances of applying for scholarships or grants are relatively low. The cost of going to college in America is very high. Most students apply for scholarships to pay for tuition or living expenses, and few people spend all their money. If you can apply for a scholarship of $50,000 a year, you can pay almost all the expenses. But in order to protect American citizens, these scholarships are really rare for international students. Generally, the tuition fees of good universities are very high, not to mention that medical schools spend about $250,000 in four years, which is undoubtedly a heavy burden for families who want to send their children to study abroad.

Another consideration is that some American schools and departments do not accept foreign students at all. For example, medical schools in the United States have about 150, but only dozens of foreign students can apply. In addition, readers may think that children who go abroad to study in universities can find a job to pay some living expenses or gain some work experience. But you can't work in the United States on an F/KLOC-0 visa. If you are caught working illegally, you will leave a record, which will have a very adverse impact on applying for various visas in the future.

F 1 The student visa must prove that:

First, when applying, you must prove that the main purpose of going to the United States is to study, and you are a full-time student;

2. Need a deposit certificate to prove that the applicant can bear all tuition fees, living expenses and other miscellaneous expenses (intended to prove that the applicant will not work illegally);

Third, prove that American schools have accepted the application for admission;

Go back to China after graduation, and there will be no attempt to immigrate to the United States.

After getting a visa to study in the United States, if there is an emergency during the study period, you can't drop out of school as easily as American citizens or green card holders, because once you drop out of school, you won't get the I-20 issued by the school, or you must find another school to transfer quickly within the time limit, which is extremely inconvenient for those who have a visa. Because of this, F 1 visa holders must pay attention to their visa holding status, and also pay attention to their passports that can't expire. They can only study in schools approved by the US Immigration Bureau. If they want to transfer, they can only apply within 45 days after the start of school. The academic performance of each semester must reach the standard. If they want to extend the course life, they need to apply, unless they are allowed to work outside the school. These will change with the sudden situation during their study.

To sum up, visa F 1 is too restrictive for international students. If they can't find a job within a few months after graduation, they will have to leave the United States, and it is impossible for local enterprises in the United States to have practical work experience. For parents who want to send their children to study in the United States as soon as possible, applying for a green card has become the most common choice.

In addition, it is necessary to remind readers that in recent years, due to the increasing number of applicants for work visas open to foreigners, the opportunities for successful acquisition have decreased year by year. Attention should be paid to avoid the situation that illegal study agents book student visas through "fake universities" in order to stay in the United States. In recent years, universities that provide visas have attracted the attention of the US authorities, and the US government has also specially enforced the law and severely cracked down on illegal intermediaries that provide fake student identities and foreign student visas through fake universities.

In order to avoid the above-mentioned visa-related problems that make it impossible to stay in the United States smoothly, and to let children develop in the United States with peace of mind, it is more appropriate for parents who plan to send their children to study in the United States to prepare for a green card, and be careful not to accidentally contact unknown illegal study agents and improper channels to obtain a stay qualification visa.
