Methods of immigrating to the United States

1. Humanitarian reasons (asylum) In addition to occupation and relatives, you can apply for immigration to the United States through other humanitarian channels, including seeking asylum. The common reasons for seeking asylum are religion, politics, race, only child, homosexuality and so on. America was founded by immigrants. The founders themselves are a group of people persecuted in their own country. Therefore, the United States will provide a safe haven for those who are persecuted in their own country for specific reasons and have real fears. There are five acceptable reasons under the framework of American immigration law: persecution based on race, persecution based on religion, persecution based on nationality, persecution based on political views, and persecution based on belonging to a specific social group. Asylum applications should be based on persecution, not general unhappiness, persecution should be based on the above five reasons rather than arbitrary retaliation, and applicants should have real fears. Zhang Daqin Law Firm does not apply for asylum, but would like to remind applicants that asylum applications need to be based on real fears. In the process of applying for asylum, the applicant needs to face the inquiry of the immigration judge, and all the facts and details must stand scrutiny. Asylum applications should be submitted within one year after entering the United States. If the asylum application is approved, you can submit a green card application one year after approval. Second, lottery immigration lottery immigration sounds like the easiest way. Maybe you're wondering why you haven't heard of this way before. The official name of lottery immigrants is diversity visa, which aims to increase the diversity of the domestic population in the United States. For countries and regions with less than 50,000 immigrants to the United States in the past five years, 50,000 places are randomly reserved every year. In view of the large number of immigrants from Chinese mainland to the United States, compatriots born in Chinese mainland obviously don't have this opportunity. However, people born outside the mainland, including those born in Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province, can still sign up for the lucky draw. If your spouse meets the requirements, you can also participate in the lucky draw. Although it is a diversified visa and a lottery winner, it is much simpler than the above requirements of professional immigrants. Lottery winners need to have a high school education or more than two years of technical work experience. If you only know this route and it meets the requirements, remember to take a lottery ticket next time you register. By the way, signing up for the lucky draw is still free. Third, many countries give preferential treatment to military personnel. The United States is a country with great respect for military personnel and preferential treatment everywhere. Joining the army can not only get a green card quickly, but also be naturalized directly and quickly, with no time limit for residence. 20131kloc-0/,the "MAVNI (Military Visit Plan Important to National Interests)" of the US Army is open to non-citizens and non-green card holders, and eligible participants can quickly become American citizens. MAVNI project has caused great repercussions in the Chinese community from the beginning, because it seems that many Chinese can meet the recruitment conditions. In the recruitment plan, applicants are required to have legal status in the United States for at least two years. The types of personnel recruited include not only medical personnel, but also people who can speak specific languages, including Chinese. If you pass the recruitment, you must serve for at least 4 years according to the recruitment conditions. If the purpose of joining the army is only to get a green card or naturalization, then think about it. This recruitment plan will last until May 20 16, 15, and the maximum number of recruits will be 1500 each year. Four. Amnesty Act The United States Congress can pass legislation to grant immigrant status or benefits. The bill sometimes applies to a specific group of people (for example, people who arrived in the United States a month ago) or a specific group of people. Every few years, the United States will alleviate the problem of illegal immigration through Amnesty. The president of the United States or the congress of both parties should also win public support through Amnesty. The comprehensive immigration reform plan is still under discussion. Whether it can be passed or when it will be passed is unknown.
