How to apply for a US green card;

1.f 1 (or F2) How do I get a green card in the United States?

Generally speaking, in order to obtain a green card, students studying in the United States usually find a job after completing their studies, change their F 1 student status to H 1B employment status with their employers, and then apply for a certificate from the Ministry of Labor through their employers. After approval, apply to the bureau as a second-class occupational priority immigrant. After approval, apply for green card. His professional work and achievements show that his application for immigration to the United States conforms to the interests of economy, social environment, culture and medical care. Individuals with special abilities can be exempted from national interests without applying to the Ministry of Labor for proof. Some students with F 1 student visas, whether teaching assistants or postdoctoral students, can apply in this way.

2. How can I get an American green card for my J status?

For visiting scholars with J 1 (or J2) visa, they must return to their own country to live and work for two years before they can apply for permanent residency in the United States, which limits the way for such people to obtain permanent residency to some extent. However, such people can apply for immigration in the following three ways:

(1) "excellent people" can apply to the immigration office for naturalization through the first priority category;

(2) Those with special talents or high education can apply to the Immigration Bureau through the "national interest exemption" channel;

(3) Apply to the Immigration Bureau for exemption from the two-year residence restriction. Of course, you can also go back to China for two years before emigrating.

3. how to get an L-status green card?

For L visa holders, they can apply to the bureau for immigration according to the first priority among professional immigrants, and the formalities and procedures are much faster without going to the Ministry of Labor. L 1 visa belongs to the manager or administrative director of a foreign company in the United States or other types. Generally, as long as this American branch has been operating continuously for more than one year, it can apply for L/KLOC-0 visa personnel in the company, including managers of foreign parent companies. The relationship between subsidiaries does not need to exist for a period of time in advance. Home Inn has been operating for many years, and now it is wholly or partially acquired by a China company (some acquisitions need to be "effectively controlled"). Acquired American companies can immediately apply for green cards for middle managers. It doesn't matter whether the applicant has L 1 status or whether the time in the United States is L 1 status. The business volume of American subsidiaries will have some impact on the applicant's immigration. For example, if it exceeds $654.38+00,000, the probability of passing is high. The most important factor is to prove to the Immigration Bureau that the foreign parent company and its branches in the United States are in normal operation, and the American branches must also prove their financial ability to operate in the United States for a long time, including the number of jobs and the number of employees who pay profit tax. All L/KLOC-0 visa holders who meet the above conditions can apply for permanent residency directly to the Immigration Bureau.
