What's life like when China immigrated to the United States?

# American Immigration # Introduction The number of investment immigrants has also increased greatly in the past ten years. The political stance, values and financial resources of this group of new immigrants are very different from those of the older generation, and the new and old immigrants are gradually dividing regions and resources. Let's talk about the life of China who immigrated to the United States online.

1. What's life like when China immigrates to the United States?

In recent years, both new and old immigrants have paid close attention to this topic, but the answer is difficult to generalize, because the "difference" between China immigrants is too great. Uncle Mi's friends immigrated to the United States through marriage, work and other different ways. Different ways of immigration affect the future lifestyle, which can reflect different political positions and interests.

Friend A immigrated to the United States through doctoral studies, and is now a university professor in the United States. No matter where you study or where you work now, it is a small town in the midwest (with a population of 40,000 to 50,000).

In the midwest, such small towns are basically Americans, and there are few foreigners (there are more Asians where there are universities). Therefore, both life and work should be in English. As for food, if you don't cook, you can only eat delicious and "American Chinese food". What is the life of such professional immigrants? What is lacking is spiritual integration.

The life of Uncle Mi's friends is very different from that of China people in Chinese communities in Los Angeles, San Francisco and new york. For example, in Flushing, new york, it feels like returning to China. One of the most intuitive experiences: Chinese is everywhere (although many of them are traditional), and some of them have everything here in China, but the environment really needs to be improved.

In fact, many older immigrants living there can't speak English because they don't need English. In the Chinese area, the advantage is probably eating, because there are all kinds of authentic Chinese food, which is cheaper than the American Chinese food in our town, and the children of the old immigrant generation have grown up and are more integrated into the United States than their parents.

Even after the reform and opening up, there are great differences. For example, twenty or thirty years ago, most international students went to the United States to study for doctoral degrees, mainly relying on scholarships, and their lives were relatively "economical". Although many people have returned to China to seek gold in recent years, some students have stayed in the United States after graduation.

In addition, most students go to the United States for undergraduate studies. These students often have better family conditions in China and are willing to spend money in the United States, giving Americans the impression that "China people are really rich". These students have also become the main force to return to China after graduation. After all, for them, there is a good life in China, so why stay in a foreign country?

Why do people often say that China people are not United? Mishu believes that in the final analysis, it lies in "heterogeneity" and the great difference in interests. For example, the US government and Congress are currently discussing immigration reform. For professional immigrants from China, except for a few outstanding talents and professors who can get green cards, most of them need to rely on the sponsorship of their employers. Only after the green cards are approved for five or six years can they really get green cards.

Moreover, it is reported that the Trump administration wants to cancel the relative immigration and give some relative immigrants to professional immigrants. Although it was just news, someone immediately cheered on a Chinese forum (mainly netizens who were professional immigrants), while another official account of Chinese WeChat, which was biased towards * * * and the party, sang the opposite, thinking that relatives' immigration should not be cut off (behind this official account of WeChat, there are Californian Chinese, many of whom immigrated by relatives in their early years).

On the issue of reunification, it can be said that China people with different backgrounds live in different worlds, and everyone is trying to live and integrate. After all, China people can endure hardships, and their material life will not be much worse, but life is not just the immediate life, but also poetry and distance.

2. What problems should I pay attention to after immigrating to the United States?

I. Politics

Political reasons are not extensive, and people who are dissatisfied with the US government often refuse. Persons who have been deported from the United States Immigration Bureau for less than one year and have not obtained the permission of the relevant authorities to apply for entry again; Exchange visiting scholars have lived in China for less than two years after leaving the United States; Those who do not have qualified passports, those who forge false documents in an attempt to defraud visas; Have helped others to enter the United States illegally.

Second, the economy

Experts suggest that this is one of the more common reasons, mainly because the applicant can't prove that he won't be a burden to the American public after entering the United States, or that he is looking for a job but failed to get permission from the Labor Department. Each visa applicant needs to prove that he has sufficient financial resources in different ways, or that his relatives in the United States can provide sufficient financial support, or that he has found a legal job in the United States, or that he has a considerable amount of money in the bank, or that he has proved his financial situation in various other ways.

Third, criminals.

According to the provisions of American immigration law, those who violate the criminal law cannot get an entry visa to enter the United States. However, not all criminals are ineligible. In some cases, spouses or children of American citizens or permanent residents, as well as parents, may not be bound by this law.

Four. Application procedure

All kinds of certificates provided are incorrect or incomplete, either because the certification materials are inconsistent with the facts, or just because the visa officer applicant has doubts about the purpose of entering the United States, and the applicant cannot effectively dispel this doubt. The solution to the problem is to reissue all kinds of necessary documents and handle all kinds of certification materials realistically in accordance with the opinions of visa officers and the provisions of American law.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) morality

The applicant's bad moral conduct is also one of the reasons for refusing the visa.

Six, physiological medical treatment

According to American law, visas are refused for physiological and medical reasons, mainly including mental patients; Patients with infectious diseases; Alcoholism and drug addiction; Idiot; People with physical defects and disabilities that affect their ability to earn a living.
