Analysis of different immigrant visa types in the United States

Article 1 Different types of immigrant visas in the United States

First, it is illegal for marriage immigrants to immigrate to the United States through fake marriages, and they have long been targeted by the US Immigration Service. Therefore, the examination of the green card for marriage in the United States has become particularly strict, and even in the United States, field investigations and visits are often made to confirm that it is a real marriage.

Second, the migration of relatives.

First of all, you must have an American relative.

Third, immigrants studying abroad.

For international students, studying in the United States before immigration is also a way to realize the American dream.

There are two disadvantages to choosing this method:

First, the tuition for studying in the United States is very expensive. Unless you are a very wealthy family, you simply can't afford the high cost of studying abroad.

Second, there are more than 6.5438+0 million international students in the United States every year, and the demand for H-654.38+0B work visas far exceeds its quota. Whether you can apply for the H-654.38+0B work visa depends on luck-whether you can get it depends on drawing lots.

Fourth, invest in immigration.

EB-5 is the fifth priority category of American professional immigrants and an investment immigration project in the United States.

American EB-5 investment immigration project was introduced to China in 1990s. The investment threshold of 500,000 US dollars is not high for wealthy families in China, so there are many investors. As the global annual quota is only 10000 quotas, the project progress is continuously extended, and the current progress is about 10- 15 years.

Verb (abbreviation of verb) EB- 1C The transfer of executives of multinational companies.

This method requires that the applicant must own an enterprise in China and have a certain scale of operation, and also invest to set up a new enterprise in the United States, with certain economic strength.

Intransitive verb EB- 1A excellent talent immigrants

EB- 1A excellent talent immigration is an important channel for the United States to attract high-end talents from all over the world, and it is the first choice for professionals from all walks of life to immigrate to the United States at low cost. Many applicants criticize themselves as soon as they see the word "excellent", thinking that the project is unattainable, but it is not. As long as you are an expert in a certain field, have certain achievements and influence in the industry, it is relatively easy to meet the application conditions of this project.

The second way to immigrate to the United States

1. Immigrants with immediate family members, if their children are parents and their parents are children, the number of people who obtained green cards accounts for19.2% of those who obtained green cards that year;

Second, the number of non-lineal immigrants such as brothers and sisters, seven aunts and eight aunts who obtained green cards accounted for 34.6438+0% of the number of people who obtained green cards that year. These two types of relatives immigrants constitute the main body of China's immigration to the United States, accounting for about 53.3% of the number of people who obtained green cards that year;

Third, professional immigrants, after obtaining a degree in the United States, apply for an immigrant visa through their employers and eventually obtain permanent residency. This kind of people who get American green cards can be described as talented people, and it is also the focus that the United States most hopes to attract talents through immigration policies.

4. Obtaining American green cards through asylum, accounting for 2 1% of those who obtained green cards.

The number of rich people from China who immigrate to the United States through investment accounts for a small proportion of the number of immigrants from China to the United States, but because of the investment involved, they are particularly concerned. The United States * * * approved 14708 investment immigration cases, half of which were investment immigration cases applied by China people. Even with a minimum investment of $500,000, the investment of wealthy people from China who immigrated to the United States exceeded $3.5 billion.

First, let's look at the work of Chinese Americans. According to the research of scholars from the University of Maryland, Chinese Americans have the largest number of employees in three main fields. First of all, in the management and professional fields, the proportion of employed people is 53.4%. Followed by sales and office clerks, the proportion of employed people is 20.8%. Third, in the service industry, the proportion of the employed population is 15.4%. If it is subdivided. China's industries in the United States are mainly concentrated in four aspects, employing 60.9% of China's labor force. The industry with the largest number of Chinese employees in the United States is educational services (such as various extracurricular remedial classes, SAT review classes, Chinese education, etc.). ), medical and health services and social assistance services (such as real estate agency, immigration services, etc. ), and the employed account for 19.9%. The second place is art, entertainment, tourism services, hotel catering, 15% employment. Among them, the catering industry is still one of the pillar industries for China immigrants to survive in the United States, and Chinese restaurants in major American cities have become symbols of China culture. The third place is manufacturing, with employees 13.5%. The fourth place is the professional, scientific and management industries, with employment of 13.3%. In addition, the industries with more employees in China are: wholesale and retail, with employees accounting for12.7%; In the financial real estate industry, employees account for 8.6%; In the communication industry, 3.2% people are employed. In terms of occupational categories, 52.2% of China people are engaged in professional fields, management and related fields, accounting for more than half of the population, which is consistent with the statistics that most people in China are highly educated. The average ratio of professionals and managers in the United States is 3 1.6%, which is less than one third of the total population. The proportion of people engaged in agriculture, forestry and fishery in China is 0. 1%, which is obviously lower than the national average of 0.7%. In addition, the proportion of people engaged in basic industries such as construction, repair, manufacturing and transportation is 1 1%, which is less than half of the national average.

In this paper, the requirements of the Immigration Bureau for applicants' awards are not international awards such as Oscar and Nobel Prize.

Article 2: Join a special organization that needs special achievements.

When you see "special achievements", you may question yourself: I am ordinary, I am doing the same scientific research project as thousands of people all over the country, and I have no special talent! The so-called specialized organization is actually the trade association in your professional field, so maybe you can understand that the threshold for joining the trade association is not very high.

This is easy to identify, whether it is the internet, TV or newspapers, as long as it is the mainstream media of the country, such as Sina, Sohu, Tencent and so on.
