Benefits that immigrants can enjoy when they get a green card in the United States.

The United States is a big immigrant country in the world, and many people immigrate to the United States every year. So what benefits can you enjoy after successfully immigrating to the United States and getting a green card? Yes, I'll take you to know about it.

First, the benefits of the American green card

1, employment

With a green card, there will be no restrictions on working in America. In order to protect the interests of Americans, many jobs in the United States (high-tech, biochemical, military and other research, production, security work) are not open to foreigners, even if foreigners have corresponding knowledge and expertise. This situation makes international students in an extremely unequal competitive situation with American students when they look for jobs after graduating from college.

2. Tuition

Tuition is an expensive investment for students studying in the United States. Students who get a green card can attend all public primary and secondary schools in the United States before 18 years old. At university, students who immigrate to the United States can enjoy the same tuition as local students. Take the University of California at Berkeley as an example. Local students only need more than $65,438+00,000 for one-year undergraduate tuition, while international students need to pay $36,000.

Step 3 retire

Green card holders who have paid taxes for 10 years can receive a pension from the US federal government for life after retirement (usually 65 years old) ($65,438+$0,000 ~ $65,438+$0,200 per month). For many immigrants, the number of years of receiving a pension is more than the number of years of paying taxes. In addition, green card holders can apply for buying apartments for low-income elderly people after retirement. You can buy a house subsidized by your country in the United States at about 35% of the market price.

4. Pension

American "low-income" green card holders (without tax records) can apply for a "medical card" after retirement, and they can see any disease without spending money, thus avoiding the high medical expenses in the United States and completely relieving the worries of the elderly about illness. For non-low-income people, as long as they have a ten-year accumulated tax record and pay a small amount of insurance after retirement, they don't have to bear the medical expenses themselves.

Second, the United States green card application conditions

Hard conditions (qualifications of the applicant)

To apply for a green card through NIW, the following conditions must be met:

1, master or doctor.

2. There are a certain number of articles in journals or conference papers.

3. The number of times the article was cited.

4, as the chairman of a professional meeting or branch.

It accords with the economic, social, environmental, cultural and health care interests of the United States.

Soft condition

Immigration lawyers overemphasize the importance of soft conditions, because they can't change the applicant's hard conditions in a short time when preparing their applications.

Of course, a convincing recommendation letter and a strong application letter can really improve the chances of application being approved, but this solution is only applicable to applicants who are about to apply and have no time to prepare or improve their hard conditions. When preparing an application letter, a simple and vivid application letter is far more convincing than a lengthy and complicated application letter.

Other external conditions

In the process of hearing the application, the immigration officer also depends on the basic qualifications of the applicant. In other words, the immigration officer will judge whether to approve or reject the application according to the applicant's hard conditions. Laiyang headline

Immigration officials have clear evaluation criteria to judge whether the applicant meets the requirements of NIW green card application. For example, it is difficult for a first-year graduate student who has no academic achievements to get approval for NIW.

Third, the conditions of American professional immigrants

5.EB-3 Employer-sponsored immigration

For the vast majority of applicants, EB-3 is the most suitable type, with no language requirements or academic qualifications. Moreover, the employer is easier to find and the job is simpler, that is, the salary is not high, the work is hard, and the waiting time for getting a green card is long. The overall price of EB-3 is about 654.38 million+USD.
