Is there any way to immigrate to America, EB?

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

Relatives migration

Relatives' immigration depends on relatives' application, which is the main immigration method in the United States at present. In this regard, the immediate family members of American citizens are the easiest, and there is no quota limit. 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 immigrants who come to the United States by relatives have to wait a long time, they are basically approved when the schedule is up.

Professional immigrants

Professional immigration is also a kind of immigration to the United States. There are several kinds of 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.

investment immigration

Investment immigration is a hot American immigration method recently, that is, 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' s investment in American immigration projects is a requirement of the US government to invest 500,000 US dollars in designated areas, usually remote or underdeveloped areas. The investment period is five years, and the project directly or indirectly creates 10 jobs, 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 fails, your dream may be dashed. In fiscal year 2009, the United States approved 65,438+0,979 people from China to apply for EB-5 project. It is worth noting that these investors, first of all, must ensure that the source of funds is legal, and submit various documents, including tax bills from 5 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.

political asylum

Political asylum is also a form of American immigration. 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. Getting a green card through political asylum does not mean once and for all. Some successful asylum seekers may have their green cards confiscated when they return home to visit relatives, because the reason for asking for political asylum at that time was that they would be persecuted after returning home. If they return to the United States safely now, it means they don't need political asylum. There are some others. For example, the United States has 50,000 places each year for countries (regions) with a small number of immigrants to the United States. Those who are interested can take part in the lucky draw, and if they win, they can get a green card. At present, people from China, Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province are eligible to participate in the lucky draw. This year, 49 people won prizes in Hongkong and 368 in Taiwan Province Province.
