How to go through immigration formalities by yourself

There are four steps to apply for professional immigration in the United States: obtaining employment from an American employer, applying for a work permit, applying to the Immigration Bureau, and applying for a foreign visa.

Apply for a work permit from the US Department of Labor.

The full name of the labor certificate is "foreigner employment certificate", which is the certificate given by the Ministry of Labor to the Immigration Bureau, confirming that if the applicant works permanently in the United States, it will not take away the job opportunities of American workers.

Work permits are divided into temporary work permits and permanent work permits. Generally speaking, work permit refers to permanent work permit, which is an application made by the employer to the Ministry of Labor in advance to support its employees to apply for professional immigration. Similar to the work permit, there are "certificate of health institution" and "application form of labor situation", both of which are applications or reports from the employer to the Ministry of Labor.

Formally apply for immigration to the Immigration Bureau.

If the work permit is approved, the employer can apply to the Immigration Bureau for professional immigration. Whether the Immigration Bureau approves or not is the final decision, which is more important than the approval of the work permit. However, in practice, the approval of the work permit may exceed the approval of the Immigration Bureau, because under normal circumstances, the Immigration Bureau approves all applications that have been approved by the Ministry of Labor.

Do you want to immigrate to America? There must be many people who want to go. Going to America seems to be a permanent hot topic. But many people will shake their heads and think that it is impossible to immigrate to the United States. But in fact, since the rise of "immigration fever" in China, although several immigrant countries have been constantly adjusting their immigration policies and raising the immigration threshold, the United States, the country with the longest immigration history, has never revised its immigration law since 12. After the 200 1 terrorist attacks, the enthusiasm of people from all over the world (including China, of course) to immigrate to the United States has not diminished.

Is it difficult to immigrate to America? If the answer is "not difficult", it must be too rash. Not everyone who wants to immigrate to the United States can immigrate to the United States if they meet some corresponding immigration conditions. Restrictions on immigration to the United States are very strict. However, although the conditions are harsh, they are not insurmountable. There are many people who meet the conditions of a certain type of immigrant visa; There are still some people who may not meet the requirements, but they actually meet some ways of American immigration. Generally speaking, as long as we choose the right immigration method, make reasonable plans and seize the opportunity, we can achieve the goal of immigrating to the United States. And when you have an American "green card", you can have almost the same rights as American citizens. This is a challenge and a temptation for many people.

Immigration to the United States has to go through many "tests"

No matter what legal way to enter the United States, applicants must apply to the relevant immigration agencies in the United States. Immigration agencies in the United States include the State Council's embassies and consulates in various countries and national visa centers, the US Immigration and Naturalization Service and the US Department of Labor.

All immigrant visas must be applied by the applicant's relatives or employers in the United States to the US Immigration and Naturalization Service. Just because the applicant has been approved by the US Immigration and Naturalization Service does not mean that the applicant has been able to enter the United States. Applicants must also apply for entry visas at American embassies and consulates abroad.

No matter which step you apply for, it is not easy to succeed. In particular, if an employer's agent needs to apply, the employer's agent also needs to apply for a labor certificate from the US Department of Labor. After applying for a labor certificate, you can apply for immigration to the US Immigration and Naturalization Service. Moreover, it is not easy to apply for labor papers. When the US Immigration and Naturalization Service approves the applicant's immigration application, applying for a visa to enter the United States is the last hurdle. Don't think that you can get an immigrant visa by applying for immigration approval. Although American embassies and consulates around the world also take immigration law as the implementation standard, they have special powers. Its audit power is completely independent, not controlled by the immigration bureau, nor subject to the jurisdiction of the United States, and it has the absolute decision on any visa application. Visa consuls can completely handle visa applications according to specific conditions and with reference to the right to review standards according to local conditions. The rules of the interview are very personal. If the visa is refused, the embassy or consulate also has the right not to give a written notice. Fortunately, however, applicants still have the space to choose their visa locations. The applicant insists on two points: 1. Never fake; 2. Avoid negligence. Then, if you meet the requirements, it won't be too difficult for you to get a visa.

American immigration policy has not changed since 1990.

People who don't know about American immigration laws think that the threshold of emigrating to Canada, Australia, New Zealand and other countries is getting higher and higher, and few people don't have a headache when they mention American visas. If they immigrate to America, of course, a rising tide lifts all boats. Admittedly, compared with 100 years ago, it is much more difficult to immigrate to the United States now. The history of American immigration is synchronized with that of the United States, and the immigration laws are constantly revised, forming the most complete immigration laws and regulations in the world at present. Canada and other immigrant countries also draw lessons from American immigration law to formulate their own immigration laws. With the continuous development of American economy and the influx of immigrants, the provisions of immigration law to control immigrants are becoming more and more strict.

However, since 1990, when the United States amended the immigration law here, 10 has not changed much for many years. The quota of legal immigrants has increased from 270,000 to 675,000, and by September 30, 1994, the actual quota reached 700,000 per year. Among them, the number of relative immigrant visas is 480,000, and the number of professional immigrant visas is 1.4 million. Immediate family members of American citizens, including minor children, spouses and parents of American citizens, are not limited by the amount of immigrant visas and can apply for immigration to the United States at any time; Priority immigrant visa for family members has 226,000 places every year. Professional immigrants are the largest category of immigrants except relatives.

In fact, the 1990 Immigration Act (also known as the Legal Immigration Reform Act) is considered to be the most relaxed immigration law in the United States over the years, which has brought a lot of hope to many people full of dreams of immigrating to the United States. Since 1994, the number of professional immigrant visas in the United States has not been used up every year.

Many people are still keen on immigrating to America. Even though it was hit by the "9. 1 1" terrorist attack, even though there were some accounting scandals in the United States recently, people still have deep confidence in the American economy, and the wave of American immigrants has not slowed down. According to a survey released by the Center for Immigration Policy Research in Washington, D.C., in the past two years, the United States has absorbed 3.3 million new immigrants, and Mexico alone has flooded into the United States, and the immigrant population in the United States has exceeded 33 million (1 1.5% of the national population). One third of them are from Mexico. Mainland immigrants from China account for 4.5% of the immigrant population, ranking second.

At home, the attraction of immigrating to the United States is still great. Whenever an organization holds a seminar on American immigrants, it will attract many people to attend. Recently, Beijing Innovation Day Investment Consulting Co., Ltd. held a large-scale seminar on American immigrants, which attracted hundreds of people. After listening to some explanations about American immigrants, everyone asked questions and asked their own confusion. Some people have the intention to immigrate to the United States on the spot.
