First, family reunion immigration This is the most direct way to immigrate to the United States, and it is also a way that basically does not cost any money, but the disadvantage is that it needs to wait for the schedule, and some categories are still very long. Family reunion immigrants include relatives who are related by blood, as well as relatives born of marriage. According to whether the applicant is an American citizen or not, and whether the guaranteed relatives are related by blood, it is mainly divided into the following categories:

Unmarried children of American citizens, age 21(f1);

Married children of American citizens (F3);

Brothers and sisters of American citizens (F4);

Spouses of green card holders and unmarried children under 2 1 (F2a);

2/kloc-unmarried children aged 0/year (F2B).

It should be noted that green card holders can guarantee that their relatives do not include their parents. Therefore, if parents apply for a green card for their children in this way and want to apply for a green card for themselves through their children in the future, they need to wait for their children to become American citizens and reach the age of 2 1.

In addition, different kinds of schedules are different. Generally, the waiting time for green card holders to sponsor their relatives will be very long, which may be 5- 10 years.

Second, excellent talents.

Any country is eager for talents, and its immigration policy is biased towards such applicants. Generally speaking, people who have the following achievements can be considered as outstanding talents:

Scientific researchers in the medical field/computer field/engineering field;

Researchers in the field of social sciences;

Analysts of top investment banks;

Documentary director;

Film/TV screenwriter;

Translator, jewelry designer, architectural designer, outstanding entrepreneurs in various fields, etc.

It can be seen that there is no industry restriction, so it can be said that it is possible to do the best. In addition, if the applicant is not particularly outstanding, but higher than the average person, he can also adopt the NIW national interest exemption law.

Third, ordinary applicants.

Ordinary applicants are generally divided into three categories, the corresponding application methods are also different, the length of time is different, and the application conditions are also different, such as:

EB 1B: Long-term teaching/research posts in research institutions;

EB 1C: senior manager or manager position of multinational company;

EB3: The most common applicant.

The first two have certain requirements for applicants, but getting a green card is faster. The most popular one is EB 1C, which basically has no industry and is an executive with a high probability of success. EB3, on the other hand, has no application threshold, but the schedule is very good, and there is a great possibility of waiting for 8- 10 years.

Fourth, there are funds to invest.

If the applicant has sufficient funds, he can consider investing in immigration, that is, investing in immigration through EB5, which is quite popular in Chinese mainland in recent years. The main requirements include three points:

The investment is 800,000 yuan, namely $6,543,800+0,000;

Prove that the source of funds is legal;

Create 10 American jobs.

Regarding the third point, according to the difference between direct investment and regional center investment, there are direct employment and indirect employment. It should be noted that EB5 investment is risky and the project may not be successful. If you fail, you may not get your money and your identity back. Moreover, for mainland-born applicants, the schedule of EB5 is very long, even reaching 8- 10 years. This method is not an option for applicants who urgently need a green card.
