How to choose to immigrate to the United States

The ways to immigrate to the United States are: relative immigration, professional immigration, investment immigration, and political asylum.

Relatives' migration is applied by relatives, which is the main migration method at present. In this regard, the immediate family members of American citizens are the easiest, and there is no quota limit. It is easier for spouses to immigrate than relatives, so fake marriages prevailed for a while, but many fake marriages were found out and repatriated, so the trial is getting stricter and stricter now. Followed by minor or adult children of permanent residents, according to the current timetable, those born in Chinese mainland will have to wait for 5-7 years. Brothers, sisters and parents usually wait longer. Although some people have been dependent on immigrants for a long time, they are basically approved when the schedule arrives.

There are also several types of professional immigrants. Generally speaking, it will take several years for international students to get an H 1B visa after they find a job, and then their institution will help them apply for a green card. During this period, if you lose your job, your visa will be suspended. You only have 30 days to find a new job. After 30 days, you will leave the United States and have no job according to law. At present, the American economy is not good, the unemployment rate is soaring, and American companies are also reducing their willingness to hire foreigners. In the fiscal year of 20 1 1, the H 1B work visa was opened for one week, and only 19000 applications were received, which was the lowest start in recent years. So it is not easy for international students to find jobs now, especially those who have just graduated. International students, like visiting scholars, have special talents or high academic qualifications and can apply for national interest exemption. This is the fastest way, but it is also very demanding. Celebrities in art and sports usually go this way. Managers of foreign companies in the United States can also apply for professional immigrants, except skilled immigrants, such as chefs and very popular nurses.

Investment immigration is a hot way of immigration recently, namely EB-5 investment immigration project. It is said that the third wave of immigration, which has been widely reported recently, mainly refers to this. EB-5 investment immigration project, according to the requirements of the US government, must invest 500,000 US dollars in designated areas, usually remote or underdeveloped areas. The investment period is five years. The project directly or indirectly creates 10 employment opportunities, and then a two-year conditional green card can be issued. After two years, if the investment behavior still exists, you can apply for a permanent green card. If the investment behavior has failed, the dream may be shattered. In fiscal year 2009, the United States approved 1979 China people to apply for EB-5 project, but this does not mean that they will get permanent green cards.

These investors, first of all, must ensure that the source of funds is legal and submit various documents, including tax bills for five years to 10. In addition, this kind of investment is also quite risky. Most investors who are unfamiliar with the business environment in the United States think that starting a business in the United States is very worry-free, but worry-free entrepreneurship may not be successful and investment is risky. It is reported that at present, more than 200 investors have failed to invest in projects, and the financial cards are empty. The long-rumored Philadelphia project began in 2004. Many people have obtained conditional green cards, and if the investment situation is maintained well, they can successfully immigrate. This is a very successful example.

Some investment companies are boasting in China, but this is not the case. For example, if you sell the house on the Second Ring Road in Beijing, you can immediately immigrate to the United States successfully. There are many false elements in it. Even if the investment immigration is successful, how to work and live in the United States is still a problem. Of course, rich people don't care about this, but rich people also have problems. If the immigration is successful, there is still business to take care of overseas. If overseas banks have deposits and investments, they need to pay taxes again in the United States. Recently, the Obama administration has been tracking down overseas tax evasion and imposing heavy penalties. If all the property is moved to the United States, then the heavy inheritance tax and so on are also factors that the rich need to consider. In 2009, 500 people in the United States voluntarily gave up their American citizenship, mainly because of tax issues.

Finally, political asylum. In 2009, the United States approved 6 109 people from China. Because the asylum applicant is already in the United States, it is an important way for China people who have no legal status in the United States to obtain permanent residency. There are many reasons for applying for political asylum, such as only child, religious belief, dissent and so on. Recently, many people have applied for asylum on the grounds of demolition after coming to the United States. Political asylum is not granted, mostly because of insufficient reasons, fraud or poor fraudulent means being discovered. For example, someone applied for political asylum on the grounds of a child. After investigation by government lawyers, it was found that this person had two voluntary abortions in the United States, and the result was naturally rejected. Others were persecuted on the grounds of demolition, but government lawyers found that the complaints of several people were exactly the same, not only rejected, but also traced the source of the complaint. The success rate of political asylum is about 28%, and the remaining 78% unsuccessful people will be repatriated within a time limit and will not be allowed to enter the United States in the next ten years, so there are also considerable risks.
