What benefits can I enjoy when I get an American green card?

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 puts 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. /zd/lx
