American immigrant visas can be processed by entering a third country.

Compared with the permanent transit card, the 10-year valid visa has another special advantage: the American immigrant visa means that you can enter the United States from anywhere in the world with this visa. Unlike the transit card, you must always enter Canada. The following is a detailed introduction for everyone, welcome to read!

This is undoubtedly more attractive than transit cards for business people who need to travel frequently between China and the United States. If you want to go to Hawaii for a holiday and bask in the sun from China, it is obviously inconvenient to look around Canada and have a drink in the north wind before you see the blue sky and the sea.

American immigrant visas can be processed by entering a third country. I searched the internet for a long time, but there was no answer. Today, I came across a related article saying yes. Have other netizens had real experiences to tell us for your reference? The original text is as follows:

Citizens of many countries can enter the United States visa-free after obtaining permanent resident status in Canada. However, the citizens of China have not received such treatment. For a long time before 1998, the visa issued by the US Embassy to China citizens who settled in Canada was a kind of travel document called "BorderCrossingCard", which was called "transit card".

Starting from 1998, the US Visa Office in Canada suspended the issuance of "transit cards" for "technical reasons", and American immigrants changed to multiple-entry visas valid for 10 years. The reason for the suspension is not clear, but it is estimated that this is to prevent transit card holders from abusing their permanent characteristics for control.

For many people, the ten-year validity is equal to permanent validity. Because after living in Canada for three years, permanent residents can apply for Canadian citizenship and get a citizen card (something similar to a Chinese ID card), so that you can enter the United States with this card without even a passport.

For those China citizens who have no intention of applying for Canadian citizenship but only want to retain permanent resident status, a ten-year visa is still equivalent to a permanent valid visa. Ten years is a long time and time flies. In a blink of an eye, you will renew your contract. Since you have this visa in the past ten years, according to the credit principle of American visa (judging your future according to whether you have kept your promise in the past), you will definitely be given it in the next ten years.

Ten, twenty, thirty years. You will soon reach the age where you don't want an American visa, and you don't need it either. Therefore, a ten-year valid visa is a permanent visa. As long as you have Canadian permanent resident status, you can get this visa and get the qualification to travel to and from the United States permanently.

A transit card is a stamp issued on a passport, which says: Immigrant holders can enter the United States from Canada with this certificate for unlimited times and time. Even if your passport has expired, this certificate is still valid.

The transit card is a permanent visa for the United States. Its inconvenience is that it can only enter from Canada. If you go to the United States from China, the transit card will not work.
