What are the requirements for immigrating to the United States? What are the procedures?

There are investment immigrants, immigrants married to American citizens, and L 1 visa, which is a non-immigrant visa with immigration tendency. Compared with investment immigrants, the risk is low, the pass rate is high, the green card is obtained quickly and the money is saved.

In recent years, immigrant visa has become a hot spot of concern, and it is loved by the vast number of people going abroad as well as the postgraduate entrance examination. Many star singers have begun to emigrate, and many just want to apply for L- 1 visas in the United States. So what is the L- 1 visa and why is it so hot?

(US l- 1 visa) refers to the visa or identity of a transferred manager or employee with special skills in a multinational company. Managers of multinational companies apply for l- 1 visa and green card one year later, which has become a shortcut for business people to immigrate to the United States. Compared with the million-dollar immigration investment, setting up a company in the United States does not require a million-dollar investment, nor does it require hiring ten American citizens or permanent residents, nor does it require a two-year temporary green card. Therefore, although millions of dollars of investment immigrants attract attention, few people care.

First set up a branch and get a green card through the L- 1 visa.

If there is no branch office in the United States, the head office needs to start by establishing a branch office. When the branch has been operating normally for more than 12 months, American L-/kloc-0 visa holders and their immediate family members (including children under 2 1 year old) can directly apply for a green card without the approval of the US Department of Labor, and they can directly obtain permanent residency in the United States without any immigration quota restrictions. Compared with the investment immigrants who need 500,000 or 6,543,800 dollars, the holders not only get the green card quickly, but also do not need a lot of capital investment.

2. What is the L-1visa?

L- 1 visa, visa for multinational managers or multinational transferees. As the name implies, when it comes to multinational managers or employees, there must be multinational companies. In layman's terms, there is a company in China that sets up branches, subsidiaries and subsidiaries in the United States in the name of China Company, and goes to work in the United States as managers, supervisors or technicians of multinational companies to run this branch.

Three. L- 1 visa type:

* L- 1A: managers of multinational corporations suggest this kind of immigration to prepare for the first priority immigration of managers of multinational corporations;

* L- 1B: Professionals (such as accountants and engineers) must have corresponding certificates and diplomas, and professionals have to go through the second and third types of labor migration, which is slower.

IV. U.S. L- 1 Visa Duration:

Old American companies: Generally, the US Immigration Bureau approves the L- 1 of old American companies for more than three years, after which it can be extended.

V. American L- 1 Visa Family:

L- 1 The family members (spouse and unmarried children under 2 1) of the visa officer can obtain L2 status and go to the United States with them. After going through the relevant formalities, families with L- 1 visas can attend American public schools and enjoy local tuition fees. This is very attractive to China people who value education. In 2002, the new law also allowed the spouse of L- 1 to apply for a work card in the United States and work legally.

Family members with L- 1 visas can attend American public schools and enjoy local tuition.

If you want to go in and out of the United States freely, it is very annoying for people who often go abroad. If you get a visa, it is also limited by the validity period of the visa. L- 1 The longest stay of a visa in the United States is seven years, which saves the visa trouble.

4. The United States is a developed and open country and a free country that respects human rights the most.
