1.202 1 year for re-signing the US immigrant visa application.
Since the outbreak of the epidemic in early 2020, the United States has closed the visa business in embassies and consulates in China. It was not until May, 20021that individual types of visas such as F 1 student visas were resumed, but the business B visa with the largest number was still closed.
According to the newly issued executive order, if you want to enter the United States smoothly after June 5438+065438+1October 8, the first condition you must meet is to fully vaccinate COVID-19 vaccine.
The definition of complete vaccination by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is that if two doses of vaccine are vaccinated, it takes two weeks after the second injection is completed; If a single dose of vaccine is used, it will be two weeks after the completion of vaccination, which is the complete vaccination of COVID-19 vaccine.
In addition, in the case of mixed vaccination, passengers are also required to enter the country more than two weeks after the second vaccination.
According to the regulations, COVID-19 vaccination certificate is also required.
The COVID-19 vaccination certificate submitted by passengers traveling by air must be checked in detail by airlines first, and clear technical guidance should be given in the announcement. The inspection items involved include:
1. Check the passenger's certificate and vaccination certificate, ensure that the name and date of birth are consistent, and confirm that they are the same person;
2. Ensure that the vaccination records provided by passengers are issued by official sources (such as public health institutions and government agencies) of the countries vaccinated;
3. Review the necessary information to determine whether the passenger meets the CDC's definition of complete vaccination, such as vaccine products, vaccination dose, administration date and vaccination location (such as vaccination clinics and medical care facilities).
According to the types of vaccine products mentioned in the announcement, vaccines recognized in the United States include emergency (EUL) vaccines approved or authorized by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and vaccines listed by the World Health Organization (WHO).
It should be reminded that the COVID-19 vaccine produced by China Sinopharm Group was added to the World Health Organization's EUL vaccine list on May 7, 20021. COVID-19 vaccine produced by Beijing Kexing Zhongwei Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was added to the list on June 1 2026.
To sum up, people who have been vaccinated with vaccines approved or authorized by the FDA, emergency vaccines listed by the World Health Organization, or mixed vaccines all meet the requirements of vaccination in COVID-19.
In addition, regarding the requirements of nucleic acid testing, the announcement said that the previously used nucleic acid testing regulations were still adopted, that is, all international travelers (including American citizens and permanent residents) who have been vaccinated with COVID-19 vaccine must provide negative reports of nucleic acid testing within 72 hours before entering the United States.
If it is impossible to prove that COVID-19 vaccine has been completely vaccinated, it is still necessary to provide the nucleic acid test report conducted within 24 hours before arrival in the United States.
2. American immigrant visa procedures
Recently, the Consulate General of Guangzhou in the United States resumed the interview of immigrant visa. All immigrant applicants with priority dates listed in Table A need to make preparations in advance before the visa interview:
1. Received the notice of payment of visa fee from NVC, and each person paid $345. Be sure to check the number of applicants on the payment notice. Sometimes, NVC will miss applicants. Of course, if you add a baby or your marital status changes, you need to inform NVC at this stage to determine how many people apply, and then NVC will re-issue a new payment notice according to the final number of applicants, and then pay according to the instructions on the notice.
2. After payment, you can log in to NVC and enter the case number starting with GUZ and the invoice number on the payment notice to check the payment status. After the payment is successful, it will be updated from inprocess to paid, which will take several days. Once "Paid" is displayed, you can click "Start Now" to start filling out the DS-260 immigrant visa form and preparing NVC documents.
3. Besides filling in DS-260, there are other documents to be prepared and submitted to NVC at this stage (not limited to the following documents):
1. A valid passport;
B, birth notarization;
C. notarization of marital status;
D,/kloc-applicants aged 0/6 and above have no criminal notarization;
E. To apply for divorce with children, a notarial certificate that the other parent agrees to take the children abroad must be provided.
4. When the DS-260 form is filled out and the above documents are ready, you can express the documents to NVC for processing. If the document is incomplete, NVC will issue a supplementary letter. If there are no problems with the documents, NVC will issue a conclusion letter.
3. American EB- 1A immigration questions and answers.
EB- 1A, as the top priority of professional immigrants in the United States, has a fast track that other immigration projects can't even think of: 15 working days to get the application results. There is no limit to the number of applicants: no language requirements, no age restrictions, no industry restrictions, no asset requirements, as long as you have made outstanding contributions in the industry.
In addition, EB- 1A immigrants also have the advantage of "one person applies and the whole family gets a green card". Applicants with outstanding talents can apply for green cards for their spouses and children under 265,438+0 at the same time. The whole family can enjoy the rights and interests of permanent residents in the United States, such as low tuition fees for students in this state, medical care plans, legal work while studying, and applying for medical school qualifications. And you can freely enter and leave the United States at any time.
1. What is an excellent American talent immigrant? ?
A: "Outstanding talents", also known as talents with special skills, are one of the few top figures with outstanding professional abilities in their fields.
2. Do I need an American employer to apply for American EB- 1A? What other types of professional immigrants do not need American employers? ?
A: you don't need an American employer to apply for EB-1a. In addition, EB-2 does not need an American employer to apply for NIW. ?
3. What documents should I prepare to apply for EB- 1A in the United States? ?
A: To apply for EB- 1A, you need to submit the I- 140 form, and the materials and documents that prove that the applicant meets the EB- 1A conditions. The content of specific certification materials varies according to different standards of specific application categories and fields. ?

A: Yes. Musicians, painters, singers, dancers and other performing artists all belong to the art category, which fully meets the requirements of American green card EB- 1A for outstanding talents.
5. What is the recommendation letter under EB-1A application standard? ?
A: A letter of recommendation is a letter of recommendation issued by an expert in the applicant's/beneficiary's field or an authority in other related fields. The letter of recommendation will detail the abilities and achievements of EB- 1A applicant/beneficiary.

6. How does the failure of EB-5 project change the status of EB- 1 in the United States? ?
A: If this person is already in the United States and has legal status, then the case is completed. Give lawyers and lawyers a ready-made courier, and you can get a green card if you pass the identity. This has nothing to do with EB-5, but you have to keep your identity. If you are in China, it is the same to send one, and then get approval after it is sent, and then get identity in China.
7. Can I apply for EB- 1 after applying for EB-5? Can civil servants do EB- 1 ?
A: Yes, you can apply for EB- 1, EB-2, EB-3, EB-4, whatever. Whether civil servants can apply for EB- 1 is a big problem. Some civil servants can and some civil servants can't. Because if you are a senior civil servant, the Immigration Bureau will reject you first, because they think that you are a party and government organ and will have bad interests for the United States, so you should apply for exemption.
8. We were awarded EB- 1A in August this year. We used to have a B-2 visa and have entered the United States many times. We want to go to America with a B-2 visa in the spring of March next year. Will there be any problems in entering the country? ?

9. Is EB-1visa like H- 1B or PR? How many years is the green card valid? ?
A: There is no limit to the validity period. If you get a green card for outstanding talents, it is a permanent green card. ?
10. Do excellent people have residence requirements? Do family members also have residence requirements? ?
A: Getting a green card through EB- 1A is exactly the same as getting a green card through other channels. To get a green card, you should basically stay in the United States, but if you don't want to stay in the United States and want to stay in China or other countries, we can apply for a white paper to keep the green card.
