The difference between EB- 1A immigrants and NIW immigrants in the United States

I. Differences between EB- 1A and NIW 1 and EB- 1A

EB- 1A, referred to as "excellent talent immigration", ranks first in American immigration programs, and its main purpose is to attract and attract outstanding talents from all over the world. The definition of outstanding talents refers to the top people who have made great achievements in their professional fields. We use a large number of successful cases to prove that outstanding talents are not unattainable, and only need to meet three of the ten requirements of the immigration law to apply. Such applicants have no language, age, education and other requirements.

2、NIW

NIW is called national interest-exempt immigrants, also known as high-tech immigrants, and belongs to a special category in EB-2 (the second priority of professional immigrants in American immigration law).

NIW attracts those who have contributed to the economic, cultural and educational interests and development of the United States. The applicant does not need employer's guarantee or work permit. They can apply for immigration directly to the Immigration Bureau and get a permanent green card in one step.

Article 2 American immigration methods

I. Applying for L 1 visa

Generally speaking, applying for a US L 1 visa is more suitable for overseas people who work in multinational companies and hold senior positions such as managers and executives. If the applicant has outstanding performance in his own company and can meet the basic requirements, he can apply for an L/KLOC-0 visa in the United States and finally apply for immigration to the United States.

Second, American EB-3 employer-sponsored immigrants

EB-3 is sponsored by American employers and is mainly suitable for the immigration routes of most overseas people. Different people have different types of immigrants, mainly skilled workers, professional technicians and unskilled workers. Applicants can choose the appropriate immigration category according to their own advantages.

Three. Apply for H- 1B visa

The U.S. H- 1B visa is mainly to attract more outstanding foreign technical talents or first-class visas issued by international students in the United States. Foreigners studying in the United States can apply for and obtain an H- 1B visa if they are sponsored by their local employers. For international students, they can apply for an American green card after successfully obtaining an American H- 1B visa.

Fourth, American investment immigrants.

Many foreigners will consider applying for American investment immigration. If they invest in some poor or high unemployment areas in the United States, the requirements for investment funds will be reduced. The investment funds of American investment immigrants are generally $654.38+$00,000. There are no rigid requirements such as academic background, English ability and business experience, as long as they can meet the requirements of capital investment and are over 2 1 year old.

F 1: visa for unmarried adult children of American citizens (2 1 year or older)

American citizens can apply for F 1 immigration for their unmarried foreign children by filling in the I- 130 form at the US Citizenship and Immigration Office. Unmarried children whose main beneficiaries are under 2 1 can also benefit from this immigration application.

Please note: If the main beneficiary is married, the American applicant must submit a notarized copy of the beneficiary's marriage certificate and a copy of the beneficiary's spouse's birth certificate to the American Visa Center. The F 1 immigration level of the beneficiary will be automatically changed to F3.

Chinese mainland applicants have to wait about five years to get a visa.

F2A: Visa for spouse and/or children of American green card holders (2/kloc-under 0/year old)

U.S. green card holders can apply for F2A immigration visas for their foreign spouses and unmarried children under the age of 2 1 30 at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Office by filling in the form I- 130. Here, it is strongly recommended that American applicants establish an independent I- 130 immigration application file for each beneficiary's family members, so as to ensure that the beneficiary's children can continue to enjoy the immigration qualification even if the applicant has been naturalized as an American citizen before the beneficiary's F2A immigration visa is approved. When an American applicant of category F2A becomes an American citizen through naturalization, the beneficiary's children will no longer enjoy the immigrant visa category of the main beneficiary as accompanying persons, because the immigrant visa of category IR 1 does not allow accompanying beneficiaries to be included.

Please note: If American applicants become American citizens after naturalization, they must submit a notarized copy of their naturalization certificate to the American Visa Center. The immigration level of the spouse of an American applicant will be automatically changed to IR1; If the children who benefit from American applicants have independent I- 130 immigration files, their immigration level will be automatically changed to IR2.

At present, Chinese mainland applicants have to wait about three years to obtain such visas.

F2B: Visa for unmarried children of American green card holders.

U.S. green card holders can apply for F2B immigrant visas for their unmarried foreign children at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Office by filling in the I- 130 form. These foreign unmarried children were over 2 1 year old when they applied.

Please note: If American applicants become American citizens after naturalization, they must submit a notarized copy of their naturalization certificate to the American Visa Center. The beneficiary's immigration level will be automatically changed to F 1.

Chinese mainland applicants have to wait eight years to get this visa.

F3: Visa for Married Children of American Citizens

U.S. citizens can apply for F3 immigration for their married foreign children at the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Service by filling in the form I- 130. The spouse of the main beneficiary and unmarried children under 2 1 can benefit from this immigration application at the same time.

Please note: if the main beneficiary is divorced, the American applicant must submit a notarized copy of the beneficiary's divorce certificate to the American visa center. The F3 immigration level of the beneficiary will be automatically changed to F 1.

Chinese mainland applicants have to wait about seven years to obtain such visas.

F4: American citizen's brother and sister visa
