Green card holders in the United States can enjoy these benefits

In the United States, people with green cards and those without green cards enjoy completely different benefits. So what benefits can green card holders enjoy? Follow me on the Overseas Immigration Network to take a look.

1. Visa

Obviously, if you hold a US green card, you no longer need a visa to enter the United States.

2. Tuition fees

Since all primary and secondary schools in the United States implement compulsory education, that is, zero tuition (except for aristocratic private boarding schools), students do not need to pay any fees, only lunch fees . After a new immigrant arrives, the admission procedure for a public school in the place of residence is very simple. You only need to present a house purchase or rental contract, plus a water and electricity bill, telephone bill, and proof of child vaccination.

3. Student loans

Green card holders over 18 years old can apply for various types of student loans in the year they get their green cards. For example, if you attend an excellent private university in the United States, you can apply for one year. The tuition fee is about US$30,000. When a green card holder wants to study for a two-year master's degree, it will cost US$60,000-70,000, and he or she can apply for a loan.

4. Go to top schools

If you want to go to a top American school, like the 8 Ivy League schools, the average annual acceptance rate is only 9.2%. In general, the annual enrollment of international students in prestigious schools is about 5%-10% of the total enrollment, and they recruit students from all over the world. Take Harvard University as an example. In the past seven years, only seven Chinese students have been admitted every year; 90%-95% of the places are reserved for permanent residents or citizens, and about 2,000 local students have been admitted each year.

5. Scholarships

For international students who intend to apply for scholarships at American universities, they can only compete with outstanding people from all over the world for a very limited number of scholarships open to foreigners. But for those with U.S. green cards, the scope of scholarships they can enjoy far exceeds what a foreigner can apply for.

6. Medical expenses

The high medical expenses of international students can only be borne by commercial insurance or self-payment. Most of the medical expenses of local students are covered by social insurance, and their parents can be with them at any time, giving them more care and guidance in study and life.

7. Employment

There are no restrictions on working in the United States for those holding U.S. green cards. However, foreign students are in extremely unequal competition with American students when they are looking for jobs after graduating from college. . The U.S. government has a special agency to find jobs for its own people for free.
