Five Benefits for Children of American Immigrants

Five Benefits for Children of American Immigrants

1. Newborn:

Children born in the United States to anyone in the United States (including illegal immigrants) are regarded as American citizens, hold American passports, have unlimited residence outside the United States, and can freely enter and leave the United States for life. /kloc-citizens aged 0/8 will legally enjoy all the rights and interests of American citizens after taking the oath, including immediately handling American immigration for their spouses, children and parents.

2. Student tuition:

/kloc-before going to college at the age of 0/8, all primary and secondary schools in the United States implemented compulsory education, that is, zero tuition (except private schools). Going to college (including graduate students and doctoral students) only pays local tuition fees. Take California for example. In a medium-level California public university, foreign students pay more than12,000 dollars a year, while "locals" pay only more than 2,000 dollars a year at California State University. If a child completes three years of high school education and four years of college education in the United States, tuition alone can save about 500 thousand yuan.

3. Scholarships:

For ordinary China people 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 green cards, the scope of scholarships is far from what a foreigner can apply for. Because many scholarship institutions in the United States limit scholarships to "Americans" (people with permanent residency in the United States). Therefore, after immigrating to the United States, children are far more likely to apply for scholarships than overseas students.

4. Student loans:

Green card holders with 18 or above can apply for various student loans in the year when they get their green cards. After graduation, if you can't find a job, you don't have to pay the loan. After finding a job, pay it off in years. Usually only one-tenth of the salary is repaid every month.

5. Immediate family benefits:

The government helps to find jobs, freedom of employment, retirement benefits, unemployment benefits, life insurance and funds, medical insurance for the elderly, housing subsidies, government subsidies, social security cards, disability benefits, family benefits, social security subsidies and old-age insurance.

Further reading: American immigrant guarantor

Relatives of American citizens or green card holders (legal permanent residents) in the United States expressed their willingness to provide financial guarantee for their relatives who intend to immigrate to the United States when submitting their applications for immigration visas to the United States for their relatives in China. During the application process, American consular officials will ask the applicant to provide a co-sponsor according to the situation.

According to American immigration policy, you must have a guarantor to apply for a green card. The guarantor can be a company with which you have an employment relationship or a family member with American citizenship.

In fact, the guarantor is the American applicant. In some cases, when American applicants don't have enough income to provide financial guarantee for their applicants, then joint guarantors are needed when applying. The co-guarantor is usually another person, usually a friend or relative of the American applicant or visa applicant; They agreed to provide financial guarantee for American applicants when they could not provide guarantee.

For most American immigrant visa applications, American consular officials will review the guarantee materials submitted during the visa interview, including financial guarantee (I-864 form or I- 134 form). Officials will also review relevant supporting materials provided by American applicants, including work certificates, tax records and asset certificates. Consular officials will judge whether the income of American applicants reaches 125% or more of the federal poverty line according to the number of families.

Co-guarantors must be American citizens or legal permanent residents (green card holders) living in the United States, and are willing to provide financial guarantee for those who intend to immigrate to the United States. The requirements for co-guarantors are the same as those for guarantors.
