Surveys show that 70% of wealthy individuals immigrate to the United States for their children's education, while many others do so to enjoy the favorable environment and convenient transportation. Worldway immigration experts analyze that the U.S. visa quota is expected to be exhausted by July 2014, after which Chinese applicants will face long waiting periods. The first half of 2014 will be a frantic year for rushing to apply for U.S. immigration, and we advise eligible clients not to miss this opportunity. Worldway immigration experts have summarized the top ten reasons to immigrate to the United States:
1. High-Quality and Diverse Educational System
In the United States, every child can attend college if they wish. Admission standards for ordinary universities are very low, making it nearly impossible to turn anyone away, with only private universities and international student tuition being relatively expensive. If attending a state university, it is affordable for everyone, and there are various forms of student loans and financial aid available. Furthermore, prestigious institutions like Harvard and Yale offer tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships and grants annually to talented students from low-income backgrounds to attract talent. In the United States, there are only those who do not want to go to college, not those who cannot afford it.
2. Sound and Comprehensive Social Welfare
The U.S. social welfare system is quite comprehensive. Although it is not a universal welfare system like in some European countries, it provides thorough care for citizens and immigrants in all aspects. Those who have lost the ability to work and the poor can always receive government relief, ensuring basic living standards, which gives everyone a sense of security.
3. Freedom to Travel to at Least 160 Countries Without Visa Hassles
Many new immigrants from mainland China who move to the U.S. initially only to hold a Green Card for free travel between the U.S. and China often naturally hope to apply for U.S. citizenship after a few years. One important reason is the world-class privilege enjoyed by a U.S. passport—visa-free access to more than 160 countries worldwide.
4. Excellent and Complete Security System
The United States has an excellent security system where everyone's safety, life, and property are protected. Auto insurance, homeowners insurance, life insurance, fire insurance, and flood insurance are often mandatory for beneficiaries, which can prevent personal bankruptcy and protect the interests of victims in accidents.
5. World-Leading Knowledge Management
From early scientific management to today's knowledge management, the United States has become the country with the most accumulated management concepts, knowledge, and techniques, as well as the widest range of applications. Management level is not only the foundation of corporate development but also an intangible treasure for the entire country. In recent years, the greatest driving force for improving U.S. management levels has been the development and application of information technology.
6. The World's Leading Economic Power
The United States is not only the world's largest industrialized nation but also the world's largest agricultural power. The national competitiveness of the United States has ranked first in the world for many consecutive years. Under a highly developed modern market economy and a sound macroeconomic regulation system, its labor productivity, GDP, and foreign trade volume all rank first in the world. The U.S. dollar is the world's most powerful currency, equivalent to gold. At the same time, the United States is also a resource-rich country, with abundant land and mineral resources, providing a strong material foundation for U.S. economic development.
7. Ideal and Superior Entrepreneurial Environment
Entrepreneurship is a channel for many immigrants to realize the American Dream, and the United States is the country with the most perfect conditions for various business activities. It is home to global corporate centers and one of the most ideal places for small, fast-growing companies to start and thrive. To improve global competitiveness, the United States has adopted many policies to encourage investment, such as providing long-term low-interest or interest-free loans, and offering labor, investment, and training services. For companies investing in non-central, remote, and economic development zones, the U.S. government also provides special preferential policies. The United States also possesses high-quality labor resources, with highly qualified employees from all over the world who speak multiple languages. Various education and training programs sponsored and organized by the government continuously provide sufficient human resources for the emerging economy.
8. A Free World of Democracy and Equality
In the United States, the Constitution establishes a democratic system. The first ten amendments to the Constitution, commonly known as the Bill of Rights, guarantee that the most basic rights of every "individual" in the United States are not infringed upon. Americans believe that if an individual's most basic rights are guaranteed, they are free.
9. Harmonious and Diverse Racial Integration
The United States is the most racially diverse country in the world. The number of immigrants reached 40 million in 2010, an increase of 28% compared to 2000. Immigrants from all over the world live and work here in harmony. In recent years, the proportion of minority populations has continued to rise. Phenomena such as "majority-minority" have appeared in places like California, and in half of the 100 largest cities in the United States, white people have become a minority, with the minority population trending younger. Statistics show that 17.6% of people speak a foreign language at home.
10. Sound Legal System
The U.S. legal system is very sound. Choosing to immigrate to the United States is essentially choosing the U.S. legal system. The United States advocates equality for all, and private property and human rights are protected by law, all of which are manifestations of a sound legal system.
