What are the misunderstandings of American immigrants?

With the development of economy, people pursue their own quality of life. The number of people who want to immigrate to the United States is increasing gradually. However, because of the asymmetry of information on the Internet, many people have some misunderstandings about American immigration policy. Now the new immigrants will show you what misunderstandings exist in everyone's cognition.

First of all, I think I can apply for a green card as long as I have lived legally in the United States for several years.

Although the immigration policies of many countries now include that you can apply for a green card or enjoy permanent residency as long as you live for many years, the United States is not among these countries, and its immigration policies have no similar provisions. In fact, the policies of many countries include the permanent residence of teenagers, but this period does not include the time to study abroad.

Second, I think I can apply for skilled immigrants after studying in the United States.

Although there are some provisions in American policy aimed at having special skills and outstanding talents in schools, they do not apply to 99% international students. The United States has a high demand for outstanding talents, at least senior professors, and the research field is also conducive to the development of the United States. If you are only an international student, you have a doctorate at most, and you may even have published a paper. It is impossible to enter American society through skilled immigrants.

Excellent talents are not only aimed at scientific research. If you have outstanding performance in the arts or sports, you can also qualify. It can even be said that you are excellent in your field, but you must have the ability to work internationally.

Third, I think you can immigrate to the United States as long as you buy a house in the United States.

Investment immigration is indeed included in the immigration policy of the United States, but it is impossible to immigrate by investing in real estate because investment immigration needs to create some employment opportunities for the United States.

Fourth, you can immigrate to the United States by luck without meeting any conditions.

Now, in order to ensure the diversity of its society, the American government draws lots for 50,000 people to issue American green cards every year. Most of these people do not live in the United States, and only a very small number of people who are legal in the United States can be drawn. It should be noted that lottery immigrants in the United States only want to maintain the diversity of American society, so countries like China, where many people have entered American society, are not included in the lottery except Hongkong and Taiwan Province Province.

Fifth, you can apply for immigration at any time.

Actually, I immigrated to America anyway. As long as the application has failed, the application will be more difficult to pass.
