An important migration route

If you are a relative of an American citizen, it is obviously not too difficult to immigrate to the United States. Just wait patiently for the schedule. But in fact, most people who feel helpless like immigrating to the United States are professionals. Professionals who immigrate to the United States need to immigrate through the United States. For ordinary professionals, it is a good way to apply for the third priority category of professional immigrants.

Professionals with more than two years of work experience can obtain the qualification of legal immigration to the United States. Because according to American law, any qualified person who is in short supply in the American labor market can apply to become a legal professional immigrant (labor immigrant) in the United States through the qualification of skills or special talents. For example, at present, there is a shortage of immigrant sponsorship places in the US labor market:

A. Catering industry: chefs, waiters, managers, etc.

B. Construction industry: carpenter, cement craftsman, bricklayer, plumber, painter, electrician, etc.

C. Cleaning industry: cleaning service personnel in families and offices, and managers in office buildings;

D. Automobile industry: automobile repair or maintenance personnel, body repairmen and heavy machinery repairmen.

This visa provides an opportunity for all ordinary people who can find an employer in the United States to set foot on the mainland of the United States. However, the US Department of Labor strictly requires applicants to obtain a labor permit first. This is to prove that there are no suitable employees in the United States to do the work of foreign applicants, and the labor permit is applied to the Ministry of Labor by the American employer of foreign applicants. The whole process of applying for professional immigration can be summarized into three basic steps:

1) find an American employer, and you can't change employers throughout the bidding process.

2) Handle the labor permit (labor certificate).

3) Apply for a permanent resident visa (green card).

Among them, it is the most difficult, complicated and crucial step to apply for a labor certificate from the State Labor Bureau. Of course, at present, a large number of occupations with shortage of talents in the United States can also be exempted from the labor card procedure and directly enter the procedure of applying for permanent resident status.

Labor card is very important for American professional immigrants. Most types of professional immigrant visas require applicants to first find an employer in the United States, and American employers will apply for labor permits for employed foreigners.

This employer must do business in America. The nature of the job must be permanent, that is, the employment relationship is indefinite. If there is a certain termination period, it is considered as temporary work, which does not meet the permanent regulations here. In addition, this job must be full-time, that is, about 40 hours a week.

The approval of the American labor card must meet the following basic requirements:

(1) The applicant must find a legal employer in the United States;

(2) The applicant's employer must provide relevant information to the Ministry of Labor to prove that it has the financial ability to provide you with the salary provided by this position, which shall not be less than 95% of the average salary of similar positions in this state;

(3) I must meet the requirements of education and work experience required for this position;

(4) No American citizen or permanent resident who is qualified for the job is willing to apply for the job.

In order to meet the requirements in point (4), the Ministry of Labor requires the employer of the applicant to publish an advertisement in a designated newspaper or magazine for a period of 30 days, including the title, remuneration, working hours, and explaining the responsibilities and required qualifications of the position. The recruitment advertisement cannot publish the company name and address of the employer, but only the address and position number of the national labor department. All letters and resumes of candidates for this position must be forwarded by the labor department to the employer, so as to achieve the purpose of supervision of the whole recruitment process by the labor department. The employer shall respond to each applicant's application and provide written materials to the Ministry of Labor for explanation.

When an employer applies for a labor card for a foreign employee, the Immigration Bureau will also check whether the employer has really provided a job opportunity for the local American applicant and whether it has the financial resources to bear the salary of the foreign applicant. The immigration bureau often requires companies to provide their balance sheets, income statements and income tax returns, proving that the company has sufficient economic strength to pay foreign applicants at least one year's salary, and this economic strength can be maintained for a reasonable period of time.

American immigration law allows employers to apply for immigration for anyone who meets the requirements of this labor permit with an approved labor permit. Ordinary skilled workers, such as cleaners, electricians, painters, plumbers, carpenters, masons, cooks, etc. As long as you have more than two years of relevant work experience, find an employer who is willing to come forward to guarantee in the United States and meet the requirements of American law, you can immigrate to the United States smoothly.

American immigration agency

American embassies and consulates (American embassies &; American Consulate) is a subsidiary of the State Council, USA, which has been established in various countries and regions all over the world. One of the main duties of embassies and consulates is to issue visas to foreigners who apply to enter the United States. At present, about 230 American embassies and consulates abroad can issue visas.

The National Visa Center (NVC) is run by a private company that has an execution contract with the State Council. The center was established to be responsible for green card applications. After the applicant's immigration application is approved by the Immigration Bureau, the National Visa Center will send the applicant the first set of consular forms and instructions, and send the applicant's file to the corresponding American overseas consulate. The National Visa Center is also responsible for the lucky draw of green cards, and the lucky ones are drawn every year. However, applicants from some countries, including China, cannot take part in this lucky draw.

Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS, US Immigration Service &; Naturalization service) was established in 189 1. It belongs to the U.S. Department of Justice and is headquartered in Washington, D.C. Its highest official is the Director of Immigration, usually appointed directly by the President of the United States. The US Immigration Service has four regional branches in China and other regional offices directly under it in many cities. Usually, immigration applications are handled directly by regional branches, and the directors of regional branches approve or reject various immigration applications and non-immigration applications according to legal authorization.

DOL (US Department of Labor) is another independent administrative agency that implements immigration policy in parallel with the US Department of Justice. Generally speaking, most applicants looking for a job in the United States must first apply for a "labor permit" or "labor certificate" from the US Department of Labor. The work permit is a formal approval issued by the Ministry of Labor, which proves that the job applied by the applicant is incompetent by local workers in the United States. The application procedure for labor license shall be handled by the Ministry of Labor.
