Comparison between American immigrants and NIW immigrants
1, judging from the immigration application conditions,
NIW immigrants are simpler than American EB- 1A immigrants, which can be compared to the relationship between top students and high flyers. NIW immigration application conditions do not need to meet at least other high requirements, do not need to be top-notch in the industry, as long as they are excellent in the industry and higher than most of their peers.
However, the application conditions of American EB 1A immigrants need to meet at least three of the ten conditions before they can apply. The requirements are very high, a lot of proof materials need to be prepared, and the standards for auditing have also been raised accordingly, and many people dare not touch them easily.
2. As far as immigration processing cycle is concerned.
American EB 1A immigrants, as the first priority category of American professional immigrants, have fast approval speed and short scheduling, and generally can get the American green card in about two years; NIW immigrants in the United States belong to the second category of American professional immigrants. Although they also apply for work permits without employer's guarantee, the number of applicants will be more, the competition will be more intense and the waiting period will be longer.
Generally speaking, EB 1A immigrants and NIW immigrants in the United States are relatively fast immigration methods among the professional immigrants in the United States. However, with the rapid increase in the number of applicants every year, EB 1A, which was not originally planned, also appeared. Nevertheless, compared with the two immigration methods, it is recommended that you apply for American EB 1A immigration in terms of speed, because it is still the faster one. If you are worried that your application conditions cannot meet the requirements of EB 1A immigration, you may wish to consider NIW immigration to the United States, which is generally more suitable for applicants who are not particularly anxious to live and live in the United States.
Of course, there is no conflict between the two modes of immigration, nor is it an either-or situation. If you are in a hurry to get permanent U.S. status, but you are worried that it will not pass, we recommend a double-sending case, that is, both parties apply, and whichever party passes will leave, so as to ensure that the applicant can get the U.S. green card as soon as possible.
Extended reading: the advantages of American immigrants
1. Residence right and travel convenience
With an American green card, you get permanent residency in the United States and can freely enter and leave the United States without going to the embassy to apply for a visa. Permanent residents of the United States can live in any of the 50 States of the United States and travel to many countries without a visa.
With a US passport, you can get visa-free access to about 186 countries and regions in landing visa. With the American green card, more than 100 countries and regions have implemented visa-free and landing visa.
2. Education for children
There are no restrictions on majors: some ace majors in the United States are not open to international students, while students with permanent residency apply as locals, which not only has a high admission rate, but also gives priority to many ace majors.
Scholarships: Students with permanent residency can apply for a variety of scholarships, with superior examination and approval conditions and a high probability of winning scholarships.
University tuition: The tuition fees paid by students with permanent residency to attend universities (including graduate students and doctoral students) are far lower than those paid by international students. Permanent residents can often save 2/3 of the expenses compared with international students.
Free education in primary and secondary schools: the benefits of becoming a permanent resident are not limited to higher education. Permanent residents can also enjoy free public primary and secondary education.
3. Work and employment
Freedom of employment: green card holders have no restrictions on employment, and can directly choose their favorite occupations like native Americans. Of course, there will be some restrictions. For example, some aerospace companies will require citizenship.
In the United States, international students want to stay only by applying for an H 1B visa. However, it is not easy for international students to find a job. It is even more difficult to find a position and a company is willing to apply for a job in H-1B. There was once a master student who had 72 interviews for H-1B. Because I am an international student, I have hit a wall many times.
Unemployment benefits: When the green card holder has no job, the government will give you a job for free. When you have a normal job, pay taxes for not less than six months (three months in some places), and then lose your job, you can get government relief on a monthly basis by reporting your unemployment to the local authorities in the United States.
The amount of unemployment benefits is usually based on the range of pre-employment salary, usually calculated on the basis of a quarter's salary, ranging from 500 dollars to 2000 dollars.
4. immediate family members benefit
Green card holders can apply for green card status for their spouses or unmarried children under the age of 2/kloc-0. Although Trump's immigration plan is to tighten chain immigration (that is, relative immigration), the focus is on immediate family members. However, it can be seen that immediate family members are not affected much and can still apply.
5. Old-age medical insurance
In the United States, medical expenses are quite high, but any "low-income" green card holder (with no tax record) can apply for a "medical card" after retirement, and any illness is paid for free. This completely relieved the worries of the old man's illness.
6. Housing subsidies
Green card holders can apply for buying apartments for low-income elderly people after retirement. About 35% of the market price, buy a house subsidized by your country in the United States. People who have no money to buy a house can also apply for government low-rent housing, which is only about 1/3- 1/4 of the market price.
7. Free entertainment
Eligible green card holders can enter the elderly centers in various communities after applying. All kinds of entertainment, fitness, study and medical treatment in the center are free, meals in the activity center are also free, and the shuttle bus from home to the activity center is also free.

The United States is the incubator and birthplace of heavy industry, high technology and scientific and technological innovation all over the world, and has great influence in many fields such as economy, politics, science and technology, military affairs and entertainment.
Economic index:
No matter whether the American economy is in recession or not, as an excellent technical talent, there will be absolute room for development for a long time to come. If middle-and low-end workers are at a disadvantage, the unemployment rate and legal minimum income standard in the United States are the lowest among the four major immigrants, so we should carefully consider emigrating middle-and low-end skilled workers to the United States.
Employment index:
The United States has a temperate continental climate, and the climate varies greatly from place to place, that is, there are areas where the seasons are like spring, and there are also areas where it is cold and hot all the year round.
Climate index:
The United States is almost the lowest price country in the world, and its general consumer goods prices are at the lowest level among the four major immigrant countries.
Price index:
America is not a welfare state. The American government has pushed many social security responsibilities to the society, and the undertakers are basically local major insurance companies. Pursuing benefits is the essence of insurance companies as businessmen. Compared with other countries, social security is directly undertaken by the government, and its effectiveness, adaptability and universality are quite different. Although the federal and state governments of the United States also provide a small amount of benefits, there are many application thresholds. At present, the most prominent problem of welfare security in the United States is the lack of universal medical security system, which means that a considerable number of people are still in a state of lack of medical care and medicine, and high drug prices further increase the living burden of low-income groups. In the most extreme case, if a poor American finds out that he has cancer, assuming that he didn't buy insurance or his claim was rejected by the insurance company (some people simply don't meet the conditions for buying insurance), the outcome will be tragic, in this race against time. In reality, many seriously ill Americans have to find ways to marry Canadians in neighboring countries and get free medical care from the Canadian government. However, it is worth noting that US President Barack Obama began to comprehensively promote medical reform from 20 10, trying to turn the United States into a welfare state.
Welfare index:
The American people are friendlier and less discriminating. Although the United States has rejected China on a large scale in history, the American government has made many efforts to eliminate racial discrimination for many years.
Friendly index:
There are no categories of skilled immigrants in the United States, and the closest ones are labor immigrants (E3) and talent immigrants (EB- 1), but both are more difficult. Trying to immigrate to the United States easily through similar skilled migration, among the four major immigrant countries, the United States has no advantage.
