International students can get a green card if they participate in the US conscription program.

For most international students, it is not easy to get an American immigration green card, but there is a shortcut in the near future. From 10 10/month 1, the U.S. Army's? MAVNI shortage talent recruitment plan? It will be open to international students and work visa holders, and eligible participants can become citizens soon. Once the policy was announced, it aroused widespread concern and heated discussion among international students. Experts in this industry said that the two major problems of employment and green card can be solved by enlisting, but there are also many restrictions and the competition is fierce. International students who are interested in this should plan as early as possible and strengthen physical training.

The recruitment plan is highly competitive.

? Obtaining American citizenship through conscription is indeed a shortcut to realize the desire of immigrants, but the competition is also very fierce. ? Lin Lin, a senior American study expert at Xintong Education, further analyzed that for international students, the US Army's? MAVNI talent shortage recruitment plan? Statement: All foreigners with legal non-immigrant visas, aged between 17-34, f 1 and F2 student visas, J 1 and J2 work visas, H 1-B work visas, legal status in recent two years, and not leaving the United States for more than 90 days, and meet the physical conditions.

? However, the number of people who plan to recruit is small. When it comes to bilingual recruitment, it is generally around 100; On the other hand, there are many qualified people who want to be naturalized or strive for employment opportunities, so the competition is fierce. ?

It is understood that? MAVNI talent shortage recruitment plan? Last year, we originally planned to recruit 120 bilingual recruits, but later it was reduced to about 60 people, and it was full in just two months. Lin Lin suggested that students with this idea should pay close attention to the policy news related to the conscription plan, learn as much as possible about the division of labor in the army, and make clear what role they can play in the army; Secondly, only by strengthening physical training can we successfully pass the military physical fitness test. In addition, if the majors studied by students are closely related to the positions needed by the army, the winning rate of applications can be improved.

Professionals are more likely to get green cards.

Although? MAVNI talent shortage recruitment plan? There are many conveniences, but many foreign students think it is still very dangerous, so many people are hesitant about it. Experts in this industry say that in addition to participating in the conscription plan, international students have many opportunities to stay in the United States and get a green card.

According to Lin Lin, international students with F- 1 visa can apply for 12 months internship visa before graduation, that is, OPT (Optical Training). Graduates with expired visas can use the legal status of OPT to find jobs while practicing.

Since the reform in 2007, the OPT visa has been changed from one-time application for OPT for 65,438+02 months per person to one-time application for OPT after completing a higher degree. Lin Lin pointed out that this reform is of great benefit to students studying in American community colleges. She pointed out that community colleges have a two-year academic system. Students who get an associate degree after graduation can apply for OPT once, and they can apply for OPT again when they apply for a bachelor's degree in their junior and senior years. ? This is actually equivalent to four-year college graduates adding one year's work experience. American employers usually give priority to students with work experience when recruiting. Therefore, students in community colleges should be good at using graduation season and internship visas to increase their employment chips. ?

When OPT expires, students need to apply for an H 1B visa (that is, a special professional/temporary work visa) to legally stay in the United States, otherwise they will only have two months to prepare for returning to China. H 1B visa requires company application. In other words, before OPT expires, students need to find a job, and their company will apply for an H 1B visa.

Students who have obtained an H 1B visa can apply for a green card after two years of formal work. Lin Lin said? From the internship visa to the H 1B visa, and then to apply for a green card, this is the most routine and important way for students studying in the United States to obtain a green card. ?

In addition, due to the demand for professionals, students who graduated from some science and engineering majors such as biomedicine, physics and computer can get OPT for up to 29 months. Lin Lin suggested that students who are good at science and engineering and have the desire to emigrate can choose to enroll in such majors. She also pointed out that in the United States, accounting is also very beneficial to immigrants. As long as you get a CPA (Certified Public Accountant) in North America, it is equivalent to a green card in sight.

It is understood that a proposal put forward by the US Senate in March this year revealed that the comprehensive relaxation of the US high-tech immigration policy will increase the number of H- 1B visas by 50,000 to 65,000 per year. Applicants must have? Special talent? Or? Professional knowledge? Foreigners. This is undoubtedly a very good immigration channel for the students majoring in science, engineering and accounting mentioned above.

The above is how to prepare an American immigrant green card for you. I hope it will help you.
