It generally takes 10 years for the United States to obtain a visa to go abroad and a green card. According to the American Overseas Chinese News, it's time to grab the H 1B quota again. Many students from China, together with students from all over the world, strive to pass this work visa, so as to obtain the status of legal residence in the United States. However, this quota has been insufficient for many years, and some students who can't get the H 1B visa have embarked on a difficult road. Keep your identity? In the end, many people lost their legal status in the United States and became part of illegal workers.
There is not enough work.
The data shows that the number of international students in American universities has been increasing since 10. In 20 10, the total number of international students studying in the United States exceeded 720,000, which was 1/3 higher than that before 10. Nearly half of the international students studying in the United States come from China, India and South Korea. In Southern California alone, there are more than 654.38 million international students from all over the world. However, only 50,000 to 60,000 students can finally get an H 1B visa to work legally in the United States every year. Most international students want to stay and work in the United States for a period of time, and they are all facing a severe identity test.
It usually takes 10 years to get a green card from F 1.
Mr. Wang, an immigration lawyer, said that it often takes a long process from the student status of F 1 to the American green card status. It took many students about 10 years to complete this long process. Successful students, from F 1 to OPT to H 1B, applied for a labor card, and then queued for 3 to 5 years to get a green card. Unsuccessful students often spend more time and energy and have a heavier mental burden.
Shortcuts are narrow, and very people can succeed.
Is there any shortcut to shorten the process from F 1 student status to green card? Mr. Sun, an immigration lawyer, told reporters that marriage is a shortcut. If you marry an American citizen or marry an American citizen, you can apply for a green card immediately. At the same time, if your major is outstanding, you can take EB- 1 as the first priority, and you can get the American green card status about 1 year. However, these are not the ways that ordinary students can get. Of course, some rich students have adopted the channel of investment immigration. But these places are less than 10000 a year, which is obviously not enough.

After the start of the new program, applicants will be able to use the new online system (ustraveldocs.com/) to make an appointment for a visa interview in the United States and check their application status. At the same time, the service of the original telephone reservation center will remain, but the new call center will be announced in the middle of next month. Booking an interview online will shorten the average waiting time of applicants to 2 to 4 days, and applicants usually get their passports with visa pages 1 to 2 working days after interviewing visa officers.
In the existing application process, China citizens need to pay three fees when applying for a non-immigrant visa in the United States, namely, an appointment fee (36 yuan -54 yuan RMB), a visa processing fee (160 USD) and a passport mailing fee (32 yuan RMB). In the new application procedure, the applicant's booking fee and passport mailing fee will be cancelled, and China applicants only need to pay the visa processing fee of US$ 65,438+US$ 060.
The teacher of Bole American Department analyzed that this policy greatly optimized the process and facilitated students' appointment and inquiry. In addition, the new policy is very beneficial to China students studying in the United States. They can make an appointment for an interview online and arrange their trip back to China before visiting relatives, instead of having to make an appointment in a hurry after returning home as in the past.
