Related knowledge of American labor immigrants

Work permits are divided into temporary work permits and permanent work permits. Generally speaking, a work permit refers to a permanent work permit. Similar to the work permit, there are "certificate of health institution" and "application form of labor situation", both of which are applications or reports from the employer to the Ministry of Labor.

Permanent work permit, commonly known as work permit, is an application made by employers to the Ministry of Labor in advance to support their employees to apply for professional immigration.

As the first priority occupation category, people with special abilities meet the exemption category of "national interests". If the applicant is not in the United States, the employer needs to confirm the employment relationship. If the applicant is already in the United States, the employer who supports his application for professional immigration can be the employer who has worked for him or other employers.

Temporary work permit is a temporary work permit that employers must apply to the Ministry of Labor in advance when applying to the Immigration Bureau for hiring temporary skilled or unskilled workers with H-2B non-immigrant visas. This application for temporary work permit is only related to non-immigrant visas, not to professional immigration applications.

The certificate of health institutions, also known as the "certificate of absence from work", only refers to a procedure that hospitals, clinics and other health institutions must first report to the Ministry of Labor when applying for a non-immigrant work visa with H- 1A registered nurses to the Immigration Bureau, and only involves non-immigrant visas.

The application form of labor situation is a procedure for employers to apply to the Ministry of Labor when they apply to the Immigration Bureau for a non-immigrant work visa for H- 1B professionals. It only involves non-immigrant visas and has nothing to do with professional immigration applications.

If the work permit is approved, the employer can apply to the Immigration Bureau for professional immigration. Whether the Immigration Bureau approves or not is the final decision, which is more important than the approval of the work permit. However, in practice, the approval of the work permit may exceed the approval of the Immigration Bureau, because under normal circumstances, the Immigration Bureau approves all applications that have been approved by the Ministry of Labor.

If the applicant belongs to the category of professional immigrants who apply for exemption from work permit, or is an occupation exempted from work permit as stipulated by the Ministry of Labor, the employer does not need to apply for a work permit, but directly applies to the Immigration Bureau. Applications should be submitted directly to the regional service center of the Immigration Bureau. When the application is issued, if it is accepted, the employer will receive an acceptance notice with a receipt.

When the employer's professional immigration application is approved, the applicant can apply for a visa or adjust his status. However, whether applying for a professional immigrant visa or adjusting one's status, the applicant must verify whether there are places in his category. If there is no quota, he can only apply for a visa or adjust his status if there is a quota. However, professional immigrants in most categories generally have ready-made places or don't have to wait long.

Applying for an immigrant visa or adjusting one's status is the last step of professional immigration, that is, turning the application into reality. If the work permit and the employer's application focus on examining the job invitation and the qualifications of the employer and the applicant, the last procedure is to confirm the qualifications and background of the applicant. If everything meets the requirements, the immigrant visa or immigration status will be approved.

1. For which relatives can American citizens submit immigration applications?

American citizens can submit immigration applications for spouses, children (married or unmarried), parents and siblings. However, there is a prerequisite for parents, brothers and sisters to submit immigration applications: American citizens must be at least 2 1 year old.

2. For which relatives can American green card holders submit immigration applications?

Green card holders can only submit immigration applications for spouses and unmarried children, but not for parents, married children and siblings.

3. How do American citizens submit immigration applications for their spouses?

This should be divided into the United States and outside the United States. If your spouse is not in the United States, you need to apply for I- 130 and two G-325 forms. (When the I- 130 form is approved, the Immigration Bureau will notify the visa center, and then the materials will be sent to the consulate for processing. The US Consulate in Guangzhou will provide notification and processing information. It will be more convenient if the spouse is in America. American citizens can fill in and submit the I- 130 form and I-485 application at the same time to register their spouses with permanent residence (green card) status.

4. Apply for immigration for immediate family members. After submitting the application, how long can relatives immigrate?

When your I- 130 application is approved, the State Council will inform you to start applying for an immigrant visa (at present, if the beneficiary is outside the United States, he can immigrate to the United States about one year from the application).

If your application has been approved, and your relatives are already in the United States (and they entered the United States through legal channels with visas), they can directly apply to the Immigration Bureau for status adjustment (I-485) and get a green card.
