What are the benefits of a green card?

01. Save money

Compulsory education is implemented in primary and secondary schools in the United States, and students do not need to pay any tuition fees. However, public primary and secondary schools in the United States are not open to international students, and international students can only choose private schools. With a U.S. green card, whether renting or buying a house, your children can attend high-quality public schools and save a lot of tuition fees every year.

02. Freedom of coming and going

After you have a green card, you no longer need to apply for a visa to enter the United States, which is very convenient. For a U.S. travel visa, the visa officer must first determine whether there is a tendency to immigrate during the interview. Applicants need to provide sufficient and credible materials to prove their purpose of entry. At the same time, when entering the customs, officials will also give you a stay time of 1-6 months depending on the reason for entry. If you want to stay in the United States for a long time, this is not possible.

03. Have a greater chance of being admitted to a prestigious school

American colleges and universities have relatively strict controls on the proportion of international students they admit. In particular, the competition for admission to the world's top prestigious schools is fierce. All international students compete for only 10%-20% of the places, which shows how intense it is. Harvard only admits an average of 7 Chinese students each year. In stark contrast.

More than 90% of the places in prestigious American schools are reserved for citizens and permanent residents of the country. In other words, if you immigrate to the United States and have permanent resident status, your children can enjoy the same equal competition as native American students, and the probability of being admitted to a prestigious school will be greatly increased.

04. Apply for more types of scholarships

For ordinary Chinese students who are interested in applying for American university scholarships, they have to compete with outstanding students from all over the world for a very limited number of places. Scholarships open to international students. However, if you hold a U.S. green card, the scope of scholarships you can enjoy is much wider, because many organizations that issue scholarships limit scholarships to only U.S. citizens and permanent residents.

05. Free internship and accumulation of experience

International students cannot legally work before graduating from undergraduate degree. They can only do some unpaid and simple internships or work on campus. As long as students with a U.S. Green Card are over 16 years old, they can officially work legally, pay taxes, and accumulate social credit and work experience. In this way, when they graduate, they will already have 2-3 years of internship experience, which can greatly increase their chances of finding their ideal job. Opportunities to work.
