This is a kind of freedom as a "citizen of the world" and an inestimable value capital. The following brief introduction is compiled according to the relevant laws and policies of the United States:
The baby was born.
Children born in the United States by any American (including illegal immigrants) are regarded as American citizens and hold American passports. No matter how old they are, they are not restricted to stay outside the United States and can freely enter and leave the United States for life. /kloc-citizens aged 0/8 will legally enjoy all the rights and interests of American citizens after taking the oath. 2 1 year-old, can apply for American immigration for spouse, children and parents.
2 Tuition fees for primary and secondary schools
/kloc-before going to college at the age of 0/8, all primary and secondary schools in the United States implemented compulsory education, that is, zero tuition (except "aristocratic" and private boarding schools). In contrast, at present, the relevant institutions in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou spend more than $30,000 for primary and secondary school students to study in the United States for one year.
When primary and middle school students who have just arrived in the United States can't keep up with ordinary courses, many places in the United States have targeted English make-up classes. There are full-time teachers who tutor students every day until their English improves and they can keep up with ordinary courses at no extra charge.
3 University tuition
Going to college (including graduate students and doctoral students) only pays local tuition fees. Take California for example. In a medium-level California public university, foreign students have to pay more than $20,000 a year, while "locals" only need to pay more than $3,000 a year.
4 scholarships
For ordinary China people who are interested in applying for American university scholarships, they can only compete with outstanding people from all over the world for very limited scholarship places open to foreigners. But for people with green cards, the scope of scholarships is far from what a foreigner can apply for.
And its competitors are only Native Americans. Because many scholarship institutions in the United States limit scholarships to "Americans" (people with permanent residency in the United States).
5 student loans
Green card holders with 18 or above can apply for various student loans in the year when they get their green cards. For example, the tuition and living expenses of excellent private universities in the United States are as high as more than 40 thousand dollars a year. When a green card holder wants to study for a two-year master's degree, he can lend 60,000 to 70,000 dollars at a time. After graduation, if you can't find a job, you don't have to pay the loan. After finding a job, pay it off in years. Usually only one-tenth of the salary is repaid every month. In the United States, national policy ensures that no one can't go to school because of financial difficulties.
Six immediate family members benefited.
Green card holders can apply for green cards for their spouses and minor children under the age of 2 1 after marrying foreigners.
The government helps find a job.
The U.S. government has specialized agencies all over the country to find jobs for our people free of charge. As long as green card holders register their skills, specialties and interests in this department, this department will find jobs for those who register for free. At the same time, the department also provides free training in basic skills (such as computer and English) for people waiting for employment to help them find jobs.
8 Freedom of employment
Green card holders have no restrictions on working in the United States. In order to protect the interests of Americans, many jobs in the United States (high-tech, biochemical, military and other research, production, security work) are not open to foreigners, even if foreigners have corresponding knowledge and expertise. This situation makes foreign students in a very unequal competition with American students when they look for jobs after graduating from college. Green card holders don't have to worry about this. They can change from "inferior party" to "superior party".
9 changes in the value of labor force
The value of talents with the same skills in the American labor market varies obviously with the existence of "green cards", ranging from 50% to several hundred%. For example, a coach who successfully applied for a job in our company, when she didn't have a green card, her starting salary was 45 thousand dollars a year, but with a green card, her starting salary became 85 thousand dollars. There is also an IT talent skilled in using statistical software. Without a green card, he only has an annual salary of 70,000 yuan, and this position is 6,543,800 yuan+0.25 million yuan for people with a green card.
10 company discount
Unlike many developing countries, foreign companies in the United States are subject to more restrictions, while locals (green cards or citizens) can enjoy many preferential policies, such as company types, loans, taxes, business projects and so on.
1 1 Travel around the world
American green card holders can avoid the trouble of being refused visas in most countries in the world (almost all European and American countries), and they can achieve "global communication" with green cards and "*". This gives you limited freedom to plan your life and career around the world.
12 investment in China
Get the American green card and be regarded as an overseas Chinese by the China government, and then go back to China to register the company. The company is an American company, and the joint venture company is a Sino-American joint venture. Investment is regarded as foreign capital and enjoys relevant preferential policies. If you are cheated in investing abroad, you can also find the local American embassy to coordinate and solve it.
American green card holders can enjoy other privileges when doing business in China, depending on the region.
13 project funds
Many governments and public funds in the United States require executors and beneficiaries to have "green card" status, and as "foreigners", they have no right to enjoy it. For example, the city government of San Francisco allocated $500,000 to build an artistic sculpture by the sea. An outstanding China sculptor's scheme was selected, but in the end he couldn't accept the money because he didn't have a "green card".
14 retirement benefits
After accumulating ten years of tax records (the bottom line is about $50 per month), green card holders can receive a pension ($700 ~ $65,438+$0,200 per month) issued by the US federal government for life after retirement (usually 65 years old). For many immigrants, the number of years of receiving a pension is more than the number of years of paying taxes.
15 unemployment benefits
When an applicant, spouse or even a child has no job after transferring to a green card, the government will find a job for you for free. When you have a normal income and are unemployed after paying taxes for not less than six months, you can receive monthly government relief (the amount ranges from $600 to $65,438+$0,200 per month) by reporting your unemployment to the local authorities in the United States and going through relevant procedures.
16 Enjoy advanced medical care
The level of medical care in the United States is the level of the world today. Many drugs that are not available in China are available in the United States (such as specific drugs for glaucoma); Many operations that cannot be done in China can be done in the United States (such as plastic surgery with high burns); Many devices that have been eliminated in the United States are being used in China (for example, laser treatment of myopia, and the second generation products are only used in China when they are popularized in the United States).
17 loan
After you have a green card, you can easily get various loans from the government, banks and other related institutions by buying a car and a house in the United States. At the same time, the interest part of the annual repayment of real estate can also be used to deduct personal income tax.
18 life insurance and funds
Green card holders can enjoy some life insurance types linked to funds that are not available in China but only in the United States, so that they can have more income after retirement. You can also get insurance with high insurance coverage at a much lower premium than in China.
19 medical insurance for the elderly
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. For non-low-income people, as long as they accumulate tax records for ten years and pay a small amount of insurance premiums after retirement, most of the medical expenses will not have to be borne by themselves.
20 house purchase subsidy
Green card holders can apply for buying apartments for low-income elderly people after retirement. You can buy a house subsidized by your country in the United States at about 35% of the market price. People who have no money to buy a house can also apply for government low-rent housing, and the market price is 1/3 to 1/4.
2 1 free entertainment
Those who meet the requirements can enter the community elderly centers upon application. 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.
22 government subsidies
When a green card holder has no accumulated tax record for ten years before retirement, as long as he becomes an American citizen, the government will directly pay a living allowance (more than 600 dollars per month, plus food, etc. ) after retirement (65 years old).
