The premise of family immigration is that immediate family members are American citizens or hold green cards. Citizens can help their spouses, parents, children, brothers and sisters to apply for immigration, while green card holders can only help their spouses and unmarried children to apply.
Employer-sponsored immigrants are divided into EB 1, EB2, EB3, EB4 and EB5, among which only EB 1 outstanding talents in EB2 and NIW national interest exemption need not be directly prepared by employers, but it is very difficult. In addition, EB5 is an investment immigrant and can spend money on investment projects. The premise of other categories is that American employers can't recruit people in the United States+and your conditions meet the job requirements+employers are willing to recruit you.
It is quite difficult to find an employer. If you are the boss, will you go through a series of troubles directly for a foreigner who doesn't use much to help him apply for a green card? It is necessary to send countless documents to the government, cooperate with lawyers to complete the sorting of documents, hand over their own taxes to the government for acceptance, pay the government, and provide interview records for recruiting local people.
There are two common ways to make big money:
1.EB5 Investment immigrants
It has been 500,000 cases, and now it seems that the price will be increased to 1.35 million dollars.
The difficulty of this kind of project lies in a. finding reliable projects (the project may have problems, resulting in the loss of green cards and money);
B. Prove that the source of investment funds of USD 500,000+is reasonable and legal (if the source of funds cannot be proved, the application cannot be made);
C. Prove that the project has generated enough jobs ($500,000 must support 10 jobs, otherwise the money will be wasted); D. At present, there is still the problem of scheduling: it may take 6-8 years to get a green card to go to the United States, which is too slow for many people.
2. Transfer from L 1 to EB 1c or apply for EB 1c directly.
This kind of premise is that a China company will build a new company or acquire a company in the United States.
So the people who can do this are basically either business owners or employees of multinational companies, all of whom are sent by the company. If you are not an employee of a multinational company and have no company at home, you don't have to consider it.
If the friend of the business owner is willing to help you, it involves going out to build/acquire the money of overseas companies in the name of the business owner company. Don't operate if you don't trust me.
L 1 is a work visa issued to managers and above of multinational companies. The validity period is only 1 year. If it is renewed in the second year, it depends on whether the operating conditions of American companies are true. Overseas companies should recruit people and have cash flow. L 1 7 years at most according to the situation. The game is over before you get the green card. It's great that L 1' s spouse can work in America.
So how do you get a green card with this?
Overseas companies should operate well enough (there is no uniform standard), with beautiful running water and many employees. In this way, you can apply for EB 1c multinational entrepreneur immigration.
The advantage of this is that it is fast. The fastest time from application to getting a green card is 1.5 years.
If you have no confidence in overseas operations, you can directly use domestic companies to acquire a more reliable company that has already operated in the United States (the higher the purchase price, the more reliable it is), accounting for 5 1% and above. This kind can skip L 1 and apply for EB 1c directly. However, it may not be 100% successful.
Ordinary people path:
Ordinary people basically sponsor immigrants through employers. That is, the aforementioned EB class.
Can be divided into skilled and unskilled.
For example, cooks, gardeners, carers and other people who need certain skills can apply for employer-sponsored immigration based on EB3 technology if there is a suitable employer to recruit people. I can hardly find an employer, and this market price is at least 700,000. Get a green card after 3-5 years and go to the United States to work for the employer for one year.
If you have no skills, poor English and little money, you can only apply for EB3 unskilled employers to sponsor immigrants. Employers who recruit people all the year round, such as chicken processing plants, labor outsourcing companies, fast food restaurants, farms and so on. In the United States, these categories of workers are in short supply all the year round, so we can recruit workers all year round. But this kind of serious injury needs a long waiting time, and China people will take off in 8- 10. That is, it took 8- 10 years to land in the United States and get a green card. I have to work when I go. Many people have to work for a year in their fifties and sixties. I'm also surprised that most of them can eat well.
Although this kind of time is long, don't be afraid, because there is an institutional guarantee: after one or two years, you can leave a lifelong file number in the US Immigration Service, so that you can occupy a place in the immigration queue in the United States. Even if the employer has problems in the later period, another employer can continue to apply without waiting for the schedule again. This kind is also very cheap. Looking for a professional company, such as Max to go abroad, is currently cost-effective, and it can be done within 500,000 yuan.
Outstanding talents:
If you are not well-known in an industry, you don't have to read it.
EB 1 In addition to the above-mentioned large multinational entrepreneur EB 1c, EB 1 is also open to outstanding talents in other fields.
"People with outstanding abilities in art, science, business, education or sports must prove that they have won unanimous praise from the whole country or the world for a long time. Its achievements must be proved by a large number of extensive documents in this field, and the foreigner has reached the professional level that only a few top talents have. "
