What preparations do you need to make to immigrate to the United States?

In Asia, China and India have the largest number of immigrants. Nearly100000 immigrants born in China live outside China. And these immigrants, living in the United States, have more than 2 million people. America is a traditional immigrant country. Many friends have asked when immigrants from the United States, Europe, the United States and Canada should start preparing to immigrate to the United States. When is a better time? Many people will think that immigrating to the United States may only require paying relevant fees and several necessary application procedures.

In fact, this kind of thinking is far from underestimating the complexity and periodicity of the process of "immigration", and it does not understand the correlation between the preparation required for many jobs and many factors.

To immigrate to the United States, we must first consider the following points:

First, the way to immigrate to the United States

First of all, we should consider which ways to immigrate to the United States are suitable for our own situation. The ways of emigrating to the United States are mainly divided into marriage immigration, visiting relatives, studying abroad and working visas, investment and talents. Relatives' migration was the most common migration method used by China people in the past. If you have no immediate family members in the United States, for China applicants:

If you have gained national or international recognition in the fields of science, art, education, business and sports, you have achieved fruitful results and far-reaching international prestige. As one of the few top professionals in China, it is most correct to apply for EB 1A visa directly. No education is required, and there is no schedule. As long as you are talented, you can get the 10 green card directly after approval, which is the fastest shortcut to immigrate to the United States and get the green card.

▲ Ten conditions listed by the US Immigration Service

In addition, if you meet any two of the top ten conditions of outstanding talents listed by the US Immigration Bureau, choosing NIW visa (national interest exemption immigration) is also a cost-effective way to immigrate to the United States. After all, people who choose to immigrate to the United States cannot all be experts in the industry and elites in the professional field. People like the middle class, entrepreneurs, ordinary housewives and college students over 2 1 year-old, even if they have no significant international influence, outstanding scientific research achievements and high salaries expected by their peers. This does not affect their choice of EB-5 investment immigrants.

You only need to meet the investment requirements of 1 10,000 USD or 500,000 USD to prove the source of funds. However, with Trump coming to power, the immigration policy has been tightened step by step, and the schedule of investment immigration has become longer and longer. At present, EB-5 has been ranked as 15 years. Whether Trump will close EB-5 in the future because of drastic reform of immigration policy is still unknown. Therefore, friends who want to invest and immigrate to the United States should hurry up!

Second, the cost preparation

No matter what kind of immigration project you choose, you need considerable investment. The preparation of expenses is not only the preparation of funds, but also the preparation of sources of funds. For example, EB-5 investment immigrants in the United States, you must explain the source of funds when applying.

Third, the conditions for preparing the applicant

Some immigration projects, especially skilled immigrants and outstanding talents, require higher personal background and conditions for investors.

Fourth, suitable time for children's activities.

Among the immigrant groups in China, a considerable proportion of the purpose of immigration is to educate their children, so the early preparation of immigration should be combined with the choice and planning of children's education and future work. Therefore, if you want your children to study abroad and receive top international education, it is necessary for you to plan your children's study abroad together with immigration.

Five, other factors affecting the preparation in advance

Now the process of foreign exchange is becoming more and more complicated, so it is better to prepare in advance, at least you can use the annual foreign exchange quota of your family first. Considering exchange rate and economic fluctuations, it may be necessary to allocate funds overseas in advance. In view of the global tax in the United States, it is necessary to make tax planning in advance before becoming a tax resident (for example, getting a green card) to reduce a considerable proportion of unnecessary tax burden.

In addition, immigrants from the United States, Europe, the United States and Canada need to remind everyone that immigrants do not have to acquire nationality. Many friends think that they are not from China after emigration, which is fundamentally wrong. The right of abode referred to by "immigrants" generally refers to "permanent right of abode" (green card).

There is no need for immigrants to give up their nationality. If they really want to acquire nationality, they need to meet the living conditions in the United States on the basis of permanent residence. Compared with nationality (citizen), "immigrants" with permanent residency in the United States can enjoy most rights except political rights (mainly voting rights and being elected).

It is the dream of many people to have an American green card. When you hold a green card, you can not only enjoy the same rights as American citizens, but also bring a lot of convenience to your life and work. So, what specific rights do green card holders enjoy?

Green card holders have the right to live permanently anywhere in the United States;

Working in the United States;

Owning assets in the United States;

Attend public schools;

Apply for a driver's license in your state or region;

Join the American army;

If they meet the requirements, they can get social insurance, subsidies and medical insurance benefits;

If qualified, you can apply to become an American citizen;

Apply for a visa for your spouse and unmarried children to live in the United States;

Leave and return to the United States in some cases.

Well, after talking so much about dry goods, I believe everyone understands what preparations should be made in advance to immigrate to the United States.
