American immigrants' understanding of housing property rights

# American Immigrants # Introduction The most obvious difference between American housing property rights and China housing property rights is the holding period of property rights. The United States is a private property system, and the sale of houses includes land. In other words, when you buy a house, you also buy the land where you built the house. Let's introduce American housing property rights knowledge to immigrants. Welcome to read!

American immigrants' understanding of housing property rights

If you buy in partnership, the way to hold property rights varies according to the laws of different States.

Take New York State as an example, there are three main ways to hold multi-person property rights: joint property rights of husband and wife, joint property rights and joint property rights.

Take marital property rights as an example. In many States in the United States, the house bought after marriage is jointly owned by the husband and wife, regardless of whether the property owner writes one name or two names. However, it is different in New York State. The laws of New York State protect property owners, that is, whoever writes the name of the property owner has the right to buy and sell houses. Therefore, the joint property rights of husband and wife need to be written on the property certificate.

If there is only one party's name in the property rights of husband and wife, if there is a dispute, you can also get part of the property as long as you provide evidence.

If there is only one party's name on the real estate license, that person has the right to handle the sale and lease of the house. In addition, new york Marriage Law adheres to the principle of fair distribution of property between husband and wife. If there is only one party's name on the real estate license, once a dispute arises, the other party can prove his contribution to the family and get part of the property. The sale must be agreed by both parties and cannot be transferred to others.

If parents and children buy together, they don't have to pay inheritance tax.

Common property rights have the characteristics of consistent property rights, consistent time, consistent interests and consistent possession. The property owner obtains the property right at the same time, and the documents confirming the right are the same. All property owners do not distinguish the share of property rights, nor can they dispose of their own property rights alone. If one property owner dies, other living property owners automatically acquire their property rights in the shares, so the joint property rights cannot be disposed of in the form of a will.

According to the law, the emergence of joint property rights must be clearly stipulated in written documents, and all property owners hold property rights in the form of joint ownership. For example, some States stipulate that husband and wife hold property rights in the form of joint property rights. Many parents choose to buy real estate with their children, so that once their parents 100 years old, the real estate under their parents' names will automatically belong to their children, eliminating all the formalities of making a will and paying no inheritance tax.

Perfect property rights protection system: American property rights insurance protects property owners.

Many houses in the United States have a history of hundreds of years, so some houses may have property rights problems such as tax arrears on loans, which makes property rights insurance in the United States very necessary. Compared with the well-known home insurance, property right insurance mainly provides protection for property owners when they encounter property right disputes or capital lending problems.

Property insurance is a one-time purchase and does not require annual payment. Therefore, real estate lawyers remind the public that although property insurance is not compulsory, it is recommended that homeowners buy it to prevent property disputes in the future.

Because there are strict restrictions on the holding period of real estate in China and the current high domestic housing prices, applicants who immigrate to the United States can consider buying real estate in the United States if they have no plans to buy real estate in China. However, applicants need to pay attention to the provisions of the United States on housing property rights, and must not cause inconvenience and economic losses to themselves because they do not understand American laws.

When the Immigration Bureau approves its immigration application, it will send a notice of approval to the American applicant, and at the same time, it will send another set of relevant approval documents to the American consulate of the beneficiary's country. After receiving the approval documents from the Immigration Bureau, the consulate will send a notice and detailed requirements to the beneficiaries. Beneficiaries should complete relevant certificates, and generally need to prepare the following documents;

(1) Fill in the resume (form-179) of the visa applicant sent by embassies and consulates in China, USA, and fill it out and send it to embassies and consulates in China as soon as possible.

(2) Apply to the local notary office for birth certificate, marriage certificate and other kinship certificates.

(3) Any applicant over the age of 16 must also apply to the local notary office for a certificate of innocence to prove that the applicant has never committed a crime. If there is a crime, the crime and sentence must be stated.

(4) Physical examination certificate (issued by a hospital recognized by the consulate).

(5) A life guarantee issued by American relatives, which proves that the applicant will not become an economic guarantee for the American public after entering the United States. This certificate must be notarized. Generally, the above documents need to be prepared in duplicate, and the Chinese certificate must be accompanied by an English translation. If necessary, you must also prepare a photo with your relatives in the United States and previous letters (there must be an original envelope to prove that the relatives are reliable). After all the application materials are ready, they can be sent to embassies and consulates in China, USA.

After the immigration quota is issued, the consulate will send another message to the beneficiaries, including:

interview notification

Interview information

Physical list

Apply for immigrant visa and foreigner registration card.

When applying for an immigrant visa interview, the consular officer will review all the documents submitted by the applicant, including the physical examination form and the affidavit of life security. Consular officials will approve immigrant visas after confirming that there is no reason for refusing visas. The visa is valid for 4 months, and the applicant must enter the United States during this period. Immigration inspectors will check when entering the country, and only when there is no problem will the applicant's passport be stamped with the certificate of temporary permanent residence. At this time, even if the applicant obtains permanent residency, it will take about 3 months to get a formal green card.

In the above application process, the first application procedure for relatives to apply for immigration is mainly to obtain two forms, namely, the application form for immigrant visa and the approval letter for immigrant visa. The application for immigrant visa mainly shows the relationship between American applicants and foreign beneficiaries and their respective identities. The applicant must fill in the application form truthfully and provide the corresponding supporting materials. When American consulate officials ask questions in the interview of immigrant visa, they should answer the questions according to their actual situation, and there should be no cheating. Try to be concise and serious when answering questions.
