Three points that American immigrants should pay attention to

Article 1 Three Points for Attention of American Immigrants

First of all, don't invade other people's yards.

Because the United States is a country with a vast territory and a sparse population, they generally do not buy all kinds of residential buildings when buying a house, but choose to build on their own homestead. All houses basically have their own courtyards. So in this case, many people in China have developed the habit of visiting other people's homes, so they may enter other people's yards without their consent. This situation is understandable in China, but in the United States, it is very likely that people will think you are up to something, so they may choose to call the police.

Second, don't hang your underwear outside the window.

In fact, underwear is a personal privacy issue. For many people in China, when hanging clothes, they are likely to hang all their clothes on the balcony or outside the window, so that they can be dried more quickly. But for Americans, they usually don't hang their underwear on the balcony, but choose a dryer to dry their clothes. If you hang your underwear outside the window, it will probably make people feel that you are uneducated, or even.

Third, don't act rashly when you meet the traffic police.

This is a problem that many people may ignore. For example, when they meet traffic police in China, as long as the traffic police in China don't stop them, most people just drive by, but this is not the case in America. If you meet a traffic police on the road and the traffic police want to check the car, then you must not act rashly at this time, let alone avoid the checkpoint, because these traffic police are generally armed. If you are smart enough to get the file, you may be considered as drawing a gun. In this case, you are likely to be detained, so you must follow the instructions of the traffic police at this time.

Applicants need to choose the appropriate EB-5 program during the immigration stage in the United States. After determining the investment project, it is necessary to sign the subscription agreement, custody agreement and fund issuance memorandum, and also submit the I-526 application form for foreign entrepreneurs to emigrate and the G-28 authorized lawyer form;

2. Prepare a series of materials and forms.

After determining the investment project, the immigrant applicant needs to prepare a series of materials and forms at this time, mainly including personal information package, proof of fund source, application fee materials, etc.

3. Prepare I-526 materials and remit money.

After preparing the materials and forms, investors need to entrust professionals to submit a series of prepared materials to the Immigration Bureau. After the Immigration Bureau hears the case, the applicant will get a file number. While waiting for the result of I-526 application, if supplementary materials are needed, professionals will submit supplementary materials. After all the materials have been reviewed by the Immigration Bureau, the applicant will receive an I-526 approval letter.

4. Immediately after the national visa center stage, applicants mainly wait for the visa quota after I-526 is approved, and then wait for the visa quota after I-526 is approved. With a certain quota, immigrants need to submit an application to the NVC National Visa Center, and they can get an immigrant visa after passing the application.

5. During the medical examination interview, the immigrant applicant needs to provide real information and valid application materials. Before the interview, immigrants need to have a physical examination. In the interview stage, applicants need to bring unopened medical report, letter of appointment, materials that have been submitted to NVC but are invalid or other updated materials. Applicants need to bring it with them during the interview. If the applicant passes the interview, the interviewer will leave the applicant's passport and mail it to the designated bank with an American immigrant visa.

6. In the landing stage in the United States, applicants need to land in the United States within the specified time and obtain a green card. Immigrants should land in the United States within six months of obtaining an immigrant visa and report to the US Immigration Service. After paying the green card processing fee, the Immigration Bureau will send the green card to the address filled in by the applicant on time. In this way, the applicant has immigration status and can enjoy the welfare benefits of medical care, education and old-age care in the United States.

Further reading: the process of American immigrants renting houses

The process of renting a house in the United States is roughly the same as that in China. They all look at the house through various channels, then sign the contract and pay the deposit and rent until the lease expires. However, the procedures and details that American immigrants need to pay attention to in renting houses are stricter and more standardized. Generally speaking, immigrants need to go through five steps to rent a house in the United States. First, they submit the application, then sign the lease, then pay the deposit and other lease fees, and finally terminate the lease. The whole process of renting a house in America seems simple and involves many details. If immigrants are careless, they will easily fall into rent disputes and add unnecessary troubles to themselves, which should be highly valued by us.

1. Apply for renting a house

The first step for immigrants to rent a house in the United States is to submit an application. The application form may need to fill in the social security number and work certificate of American immigrants. If immigrants don't have a social security number, they can use a permanent resident card or show a salary slip as proof of work. In addition, you may have to pay a large application fee to apply for renting a house. Australian immigrants added that if they are unemployed American immigrants, they may need to find someone else to sign a rental contract. This person is called a * * * co-contractor. If the rent cannot be paid, the cooperative contractor has the responsibility to pay it on his behalf.

Sign a lease contract

In the United States, most lease contracts are for one year. Of course, immigrants can also find short rent, such as monthly rent. But the rent in short rent may be higher. Once you sign the contract, you agree to keep the house clean and in good condition. If the rented house is damaged, immigrants may have to pay extra.

Pay a deposit

Just like renting a house in China, renting a house in the United States also requires a deposit, which can be recovered at the end of the rental contract. But what American immigrants need to pay attention to is to check the condition of the house or apartment before moving in and tell the owners of the problems found. Before moving out, ask the owner whether it needs maintenance or cleaning, and then get back all the deposits.

4. Pay other rental fees

Immigrants must confirm the cost of each item before signing a rental contract. Some expenses may be higher in summer (using air conditioning) or winter (using heating). If living expenses are included, be sure to include this information before signing the contract.

5. Termination of the lease contract

In America, most owners require at least 30 days' notice to move out. Before signing the contract, immigrants should confirm that they have understood the terms of the contract and ask how many days before moving out.
