What are the benefits of getting an American green card?

Primary and secondary schools in the United States implement compulsory education, that is, zero tuition (except aristocratic private boarding schools). Students don't have to pay any fees, just pay for lunch.

Public primary and secondary schools in the United States are not open to international students, and international students can only choose expensive private primary and secondary schools. After immigrating to the United States, children can enjoy the same free education as local students. Just show the contract of buying or renting a house, plus water and electricity bills, telephone bills and proof of vaccination for children, you can easily go through the admission procedures.

Studying abroad is an expensive investment. The annual tuition fee for international students in American universities is at least $25,000, and the fees for preparatory courses, undergraduate courses and master's degrees are above RMB 6,543.8+0,000. However, after obtaining immigration status, the cost of attending public schools can be reduced by at least half, and at the same time, you are eligible to apply for scholarships, grants and legal jobs, and you can enjoy various benefits and medical security for local students.

Advantage 2: student loan &; scholarship

If you are an ordinary international student, you can imagine the difficulty of competing with outstanding students from all over the world for very limited scholarship categories open to foreigners.

For students with American identity, they can not only enjoy a variety of scholarships and grants, but also apply for student loans conveniently, which saves a lot of worries for studying abroad.

Advantage 3: attending a top prestigious school.

At present, the United States strictly controls the admission ratio of international students, especially the top universities in the world. For example, in the top 20 universities in the United States, only 65,438+00% places are available for all international students (including China students) to compete, which shows the intensity. Take Harvard, MIT and Stanford University as examples. Among the freshmen of 20 165438+, it is 0.2%, 8.9% and 9.8% respectively. Among them, Harvard has only admitted an average of seven international students from China every year in the past seven years.

In sharp contrast, more than 90% of the places in American elite schools are reserved for their own citizens (including permanent residents). That is to say, if immigrants to the United States have permanent resident status, children can jump out of this fierce battlefield, which only accounts for 10% of the total quota, and enjoy equal opportunities for competition with American students, thus making the admission rate of prestigious schools jump sharply.

Advantage 4: American employment

According to the relevant provisions of American law, international students with American F 1 student visa must leave the United States within 60 days after graduation. If you want to work and live legally in the United States for a long time, you need to obtain American identity, which is a green card.
