First, the difficulty of studying in the United States
1, it is difficult to study abroad for medical and computer majors.
From the overall situation of international students, STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is still popular. The number of engineering students in one academic year is nearly 233,000, accounting for 2 1.3% of the total number of international students. Followed by business majors, the enrollment was 6.5438+0.96 million, down 2.3% from the previous school year. The number of students majoring in mathematics and computer science is 6.5438+0.86 million, an increase of 654.38+0.38+0.3% over the previous school year.
Judging from the choice of students, engineering and business are still the most popular majors. Followed by mathematics and computer science, physics and life science.
However, in recent years, the United States has controlled the number of international students and narrowed the scope of STEM majors, which has brought many influences to international students.
2. Studying in the United States to find a job
It is generally difficult to find an American employer who is willing to help us solve our identity problems. If you can't find an employer and don't want to continue working hard, you should go home.
3. Signature of American workers
After graduation, there is only one opportunity to get a work visa through job opportunities in April every year: because the number of applicants is far more than the number of applicants, it is necessary to draw lots to decide who can get a work visa. In recent years, the probability of winning a bachelor's degree is below 30%, and the probability of winning a doctoral degree is around 50%. If you don't get it, you will be eliminated in theory.
Second, the immigration conditions for studying in the United States
1, brothers and sisters of American citizens submit immigration applications, and international students have to wait about 10 years to get green cards.
2. Parents are American citizens and international students are under 2 1 year old. After parents submit their immigration application, international students may get a green card in a few months. However, if international students are 2 1 year-old or married and want to get a green card by their parents' immigration application, they will have to wait for many years, which may be as long as 7 or 8 years.
3. The children of international students are American citizens and have reached 2 1 year old. Parents with foreign student status can get a green card within a few months.
4. The children of international students are small American citizens, and they must wait until their children reach 2 1 year before submitting a green card application for their parents who are international students.
When a foreign student marries an American citizen, the foreign student can usually get an American green card within a few months.
However, this green card is usually a temporary green card valid for two years. After obtaining the green card 1 year and 9 months, submit an application for converting a temporary green card into a formal green card. Once the application for converting a temporary green card into a formal green card is approved, international students will get a green card valid for 10 years. Once the application for converting a temporary green card into a formal green card is rejected, international students will enter the expulsion procedure of the immigration court. Therefore, the authenticity of marriage and the preparation of application materials are very important.
Third, the way to study in the United States
1, American outstanding talent EB- 1A
Anyone in the United States or other countries can apply. EB- 1A is the first type of American professional immigrants, commonly known as outstanding talents immigrants, aiming at outstanding talents with special talents and achievements in five fields: science, art, commerce, education and sports. This kind of green card is neither too difficult nor too small.
2.H- 1B work visa to green card
There is really no cost to get a green card through studying abroad application H-1B. But judging from the current immigration policy of the United States, this road is more difficult than the above ones. In order to attract talents, the United States has also opened up channels for students to apply for green cards. That is, after graduation, they can find an employer and apply for an H- 1B visa. With the H- 1B visa, they can apply for a green card.
If there is no employer to handle labor migration for students, the H- 1B visa will be invalid after its expiration. After the expiration, unless undergraduates continue to apply for a master's degree and graduate students continue to study for a doctorate, they will have the opportunity to apply for H- 1B again, otherwise they will have no legal status to stay in the United States. Although I was lucky enough to be the lucky one with a winning rate of only 9.4% in H- 1B, the waiting for green card transfer was also scheduled. Generally, waiting for five or six years is nothing.
