What are the advantages of American green card?

The American green card is really a good thing for many people, because the United States is the only superpower with a very developed economy, and the social welfare and development opportunities here are also relatively good, so the American green card has become something that many people want. Share with you the functions and benefits of a wave of American green cards.

For friends who are going to immigrate to the United States, a large number of people apply for green cards because they want their children to have a better education and living environment and can stay and work in the United States after graduation. So what social benefits and benefits can they enjoy when they get the American green card?

Central and North America: Canada (6 months), Mexico (6 months), Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba (14 days), Bahamas (30 days), Cayman Islands (30 days), Costa Rica (90 days), Dominican Republic (30 days), San Salvador and Jamaica (30 days).

2. save tuition. /kloc-before going to college at the age of 0/8, all primary and secondary schools in the United States implemented compulsory education, that is, zero tuition (except "aristocratic" private boarding schools). In contrast, at present, relevant institutions in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou need more than 20,000 US dollars for primary and secondary schools to study in the United States. Going to college (including graduate students and doctoral students) only pays local tuition fees. Take California for example. In a medium-level California public university, foreign students pay more than15,000 dollars a year, while "locals" pay only more than 2,000 dollars a year at California State University.

It is convenient to apply for a scholarship. For ordinary China people who are interested in applying for American university scholarships, they can only compete with outstanding people from all over the world for very limited scholarship places open to foreigners. But for people with green cards, the scope of scholarships is far from what a foreigner can apply for. Because many scholarship institutions in the United States limit scholarships to "Americans" (people with permanent residency in the United States).

4. Apply for a student loan. Green card holders with 18 or above can apply for various student loans in the year when they get their green cards. For example, the tuition of an excellent private university in the United States is as high as $30,000 a year. When a green card holder wants to study for a two-year master's degree, 60,000 to 70,000 dollars can be used as a loan. After graduation, if you can't find a job, you don't have to pay the loan. After finding a job, pay it off in years. Usually only one-tenth of the salary is repaid every month. In America, no one can't go to school because of financial difficulties.

5. immediate family members benefit. Green card holders can apply for green cards for their spouses and minor children under the age of 2 1 after marrying foreigners.

6. The government helps to find a job. The American government has a special agency to find jobs for its people free of charge. As long as green card holders register their skills, specialties and interests in this department, this department will find jobs for people free of charge. At the same time, the department also provides free basic skills training (such as computer and English) for job seekers. ) to help them find jobs.

7. Freedom of employment has no restrictions on green card holders working in the United States. In order to protect the interests of Americans, many jobs in the United States (high-tech, biochemical, military and other research, production, security work) are not open to foreigners, even if foreigners have corresponding knowledge and expertise. This situation makes foreign students in extremely unequal competition with American students when they look for jobs after graduation from university. The green card holder need not worry, he (she) can change from an "inferior party" to an "excellent party".

8. After ten years' tax record of enjoying retirement benefits (the bottom line is about $50 per month), you can receive the pension (1000 ~ 1200 per month) issued by the US federal government for life after retirement (usually 65 years old). For many immigrants, the number of years of receiving a pension is more than the number of years of paying taxes.

9. When an applicant who can receive unemployment benefits, his spouse or even his children have no job after transferring to a green card, the government will find a job for you free of charge. With a six-month tax record, you can get government relief (ranging from $400 to 1200 per month) when you declare unemployment to local authorities in the United States.

10, green card holders of life insurance and funds can enjoy some insurance products linked to life insurance and funds that are not available in China, but only in the United States, so that I can earn more after retirement.

1 1. The old-age medical insurance in the United States is quite expensive, but any "low-income" green card holder (with no tax record) can apply for a "medical card" after retirement, and it won't cost anything to see any illness. This can completely relieve the worries of the elderly who are sick. For non-low-income people, as long as they have a ten-year accumulated tax record and pay a small amount of insurance after retirement, they don't have to bear the medical expenses themselves.

12. Housing subsidy Green card holders can apply for buying apartments for low-income elderly people after retirement. You can buy a house subsidized by your country in the United States at about 35% of the market price.

13. The government subsidizes green card holders who have not accumulated tax records for ten years before retirement. As long as you become an American citizen, after retirement (65 years old), the government directly pays the living allowance (more than 600 dollars per month). Even if I don't live in America, I can enjoy the money.
