Which is better, emigrating to America or studying abroad?

If you don't have an American green card, you need to provide an American study visa. The key is to provide sufficient and credible materials to American immigration officials to prove their purpose of studying abroad. In addition, we should also consider English. If the TOEFL score is not good and the spoken English is average, it will be difficult to pass the interview.

Advantage 2: tuition

Since primary and secondary schools in the United States implement compulsory education, that is, zero tuition fees (except for aristocratic private boarding schools), students do not need to pay any fees, only need to pay lunch fees. After the arrival of new immigrants, it is very simple to enter the public school where they live. Just show the contract for buying or renting a house, plus the water and electricity bills, telephone bills and proof of vaccination for their children.

Advantage 3: student loan

/kloc-green card holders over the age of 0/8 can apply for various student loans in the year when they get a green card. For example, the annual tuition fee of excellent private universities in the United States is as high as 30 thousand dollars. Green card holders want to study for a two-year master's degree, and they need $60,000 to $70,000, so they can apply for loans.

Advantage 4: attending a top prestigious school.

To enter the top universities in the United States, like eight Ivy League universities, the average annual admission rate is only 9.2%. Generally speaking, the number of international students enrolled by prestigious schools is about 5%~ 10% of the total enrollment each year, and it is open to the whole world. Take Harvard University as an example. In the past seven years, only seven China students have been admitted each year. 90%~95% of the places are reserved for permanent residents or citizens, and about 2000 local students are admitted every year.

Mr. Xie immigrated to America with his family when his son was in the fourth grade. His son did well in school and was finally admitted to MIT. There is a China girl in his son's class, and her academic performance is excellent. However, because she did not immigrate to the United States, she had to apply as an international student when applying for a university, and finally went to the University of California, Berkeley. It can be seen that even if two equally excellent students study in the United States, they will apply for universities because of their different identities.

Advantage 5: Scholarship

For international students who are interested in applying for American university scholarships, they can only compete with outstanding people from all over the world for very limited scholarship places open to foreigners. But for people with American green cards, the scope of scholarships is far from what a foreigner can apply for.

Advantage six. part-time jobs/work

Because international students have no identity, there are many restrictions on working. First of all, they can only apply for part-time jobs on campus. Most of these part-time jobs are unskilled manual labor, and the number is limited, which is difficult for most international students to obtain. Secondly, only those who have obtained the above positions have obtained the social security number.

(social number)

Students are eligible to take part-time jobs outside the school. Local students have no identity problems, few work restrictions, and can freely choose their workplace. The number of off-campus part-time jobs is large, the remuneration is high and the work content is rich.

Advantage seven, medical expenses

The high medical expenses of international students can only be borne by commercial insurance or at their own expense. Most of the medical expenses of local students are borne by social insurance, so parents can accompany them at any time and get more care and guidance in their study and life.

Advantage 8: Employment

American green card holders have no restrictions on working in the United States, and international students are in a very unequal competitive position with American students when they look for jobs after graduating from college. The United States government has specialized agencies to find jobs for our people free of charge.

Advantage 9: Stay and work in America.

If you don't have a green card after international students finish their studies in the United States, the first thing to solve is the identity problem. American F- 1 Students have one year of optional practical training after graduation.

cultivate

(select) qualifications. If students do not apply for OPT within 60 days after graduation, they must leave the United States. After getting the OPT visa, find a job, and then the employer will come forward to change the student status of F- 1 to the employment status of H-1B. With the H- 1B visa, the applicant can apply for a green card while working. The general cycle is as long as 6~7 years.
