How many types of American immigrants are there to choose from?

At present, the better ways to immigrate to the United States are EB- 1A American excellent talents immigration and EB-5 American investment immigration.

EB- 1A is an immigration channel provided by American immigration law for foreigners with outstanding talents in the fields of art, science, education, business and sports. EB- 1A is not based on occupation, but on "personal ability", which mainly requires immigrant applicants to have outstanding professional ability compared with their peers. Evidence should include a major achievement (i.e. an internationally recognized award), or at least meet the following three criteria:

1. has won industry, national (or international) awards in its field;

2. The media reported my work and achievements;

3. Being a member of a professional association in this field or serving in a professional association or trade association;

4 as a comment, comment on the work or projects and works of others in the same field;

5. Has made original contributions in its field (such as patents, new technologies, new processes and new methods, etc.). );

6 papers, books and other academic articles or works published in domestic and foreign periodicals, periodicals or other media in the industry;

7. Performing arts, including regional or national (international) performances, exhibitions, art exhibitions or other public exhibitions;

8. Hold a major position in an important professional organization or group;

9. In related fields, the salary, remuneration or treatment of the applicant is higher than the industry average salary;

10. Commercial success in performance or art (such as auction income or box office income);

1 1. Outstanding corporate shareholders in industry segments, with annual turnover exceeding 5.5 billion yuan;

EB- 1A, an American immigrant, can be regarded as one of the categories of visa immigrants who get a green card in the United States at present, and it does not need the support of American employers, is not restricted by employers at all, has no age limit, does not need high education and does not need language ability. It takes an average of 10 days to be approved. One person applies for a permanent green card for the whole family.

According to the new EB-5 Investment Immigration Act, foreign investors can get a conditional green card for two years as long as they invest 800,000 US dollars in the tea area (target employment area) approved by the Immigration Bureau. The new bill reserves 3200 green card places for tea regional projects and infrastructure projects every year, and there is no need to schedule them. If the investment project indirectly creates 65,438+00 jobs, investors can apply to cancel the green card conditions and obtain a permanent green card. If the invested project still exists and operates normally 90 days before the expiration of two years, and indirectly creates 10 employment opportunities, investors can apply to cancel the green card conditions, thus obtaining a permanent green card.

In addition, if the applicant legally lives in the United States, he can submit the I-526E form and the I-485 form at the same time, so that the applicant can live, work, study and live in the United States as a green card in advance. Of course, the premise is that the applicant has legally lived in the United States for more than 90 days before submitting the I-485 application. When submitting I-485, you can apply for a combination card, get a work permit and a permit to return to the United States. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for international students, so don't worry about not finding an employer or not winning the H- 1B lottery. I-485 is valid for two years and can be extended indefinitely until the immigration application is approved, which is seamlessly connected with the living arrangements in the United States.
