How do China students immigrate to the United States after graduation? Can parents, brothers and sisters immigrate together?

The first way for China students to immigrate to the United States is to apply for a green card through F 1 (student) -H 1b (work), and another way is to immigrate to the United States through marriage, which is called American marriage. Mainly talk about the first way, which is also the most common way we talk about: F 1-H 1b- green card.

First of all, China students applying for an H- 1B visa must meet the following requirements: Generally speaking, they must have at least four years of work experience and a bachelor's degree in the United States (usually a three-year degree and three years of work experience equivalent to a postgraduate position also meet this requirement). However, other professionals, such as lawyers, doctors and accountants. You must hold the relevant industry license to engage in professional activities in the state where you will work. If non-college students can prove that they are equivalent to college students through more than 12 years of work experience, they can also use H 1B visa for employment.

The application for H- 1B is limited every year. Once the quota is reached, the US Immigration Service will not approve H- 1B's new employment application until next year. Three types of foreigners are not subject to quota restrictions, and H- 1B applications can be approved according to their circumstances: 1. Foreigners working in institutions of higher learning and their related or affiliated non-profit entities, non-profit research institutions or government research institutions; 2. If foreigners have been included in the quota within 6 years before the application of H- 1B is approved, the quota will not be recalculated unless it is suitable for the new 6-year time limit of H- 1B; 3. The number of foreign nationals who have obtained a master's degree or above from American institutions of higher education shall not exceed 20,000 every year.

Holding an H- 1B visa has two main advantages: 1. Apply while working. H- 1B visa is valid for 6 years. The new H- 1B visa is initially valid for 3 years and can be renewed. The initial renewal can be as long as 2 years, and the final renewal 1 year, no more than 6 years. Six years is enough time for applicants to apply for a green card in the United States. Usually, after the H- 1B visa holder works for him 1 year, the American company will guarantee the applicant to apply for a US green card from the US Immigration Bureau. 2. The visa rate is extremely high and the application time is fast. Because the H- 1B visa is originally a non-immigrant visa that allows you to immigrate to the United States, unless you hide any "criminal record" or you have any false academic qualifications or work experience. If everything is true, the chances of getting a visa will be great, and the time from applying for a visa in China to departure will usually not exceed 3 months.

According to the amendment just passed by the US Senate, employers applying for H- 1B visas are likely to pay more than three times the original fee, and the fee for each visa will increase from the current $65,438+0,500 to $5,000. What effect will the increase in application fee have on the application of H- 1B?

Of the extra $3,500 paid by employers, $3,000 will be used to set up a new "American competitive scholarship" to encourage American students to go to college and choose computer, engineering, mathematics, nursing and medicine. The maximum prize awarded by the National Academy of Sciences to the selected students is $65,438+05,000 per year. Another $500 is used for scholarship programs for gifted students.

China students can only go through the immigration formalities for their parents after they have settled in the United States. The following is the process:

First, regardless of whether the guarantor and the applicant are separated, the visa officer also needs you to provide proof that you support your parents.

Secondly, this kind of application also needs to look at other very important aspects, such as the situation of other relatives of the applicant: for example, the guarantor has other brothers and sisters in China who also have the responsibility of support. In this case, even if the financial conditions of the American guarantor are better than those of other relatives in China, this kind of application will be very difficult.

Third, like all visas, the main applicant needs to provide his own financial situation (such as work income and bank deposits), proof of housing in the United States and so on.
