Enjoying an international education in the United States is a key objective for many wealthy families immigrating to the U.S. Many such families have the following concern: Is it better to immigrate first or study abroad first? How should one ultimately help their children choose an American university that fits their specific needs based on their actual situation?
Worldway Immigration experts analyze that after obtaining a U.S. Green Card through the U.S. investment immigration program, there are many advantages to studying in the United States:
1、The freedom to choose between public or top-tier private schools.
2、 The proportion of international students admitted to Ivy League universities is less than 10%. Green Card holders have a 9 times higher chance of entering prestigious American universities than international students. At the same time, there are no restrictions on the choice of majors and research directions, and tuition fees for public universities are only 1/3 of those for international students. The types of scholarships available are also far beyond the scope of what international students can apply for.
3、U.S. Green Card holders face no restrictions on working in the United States. In contrast, the number of work visa applications from ordinary international students far exceeds the quota. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services issues work visas through a lottery system, with a success rate for international students of less than 35%, and 2/3 of international students miss out on good job opportunities due to visa issues, forcing them to return home early.
4、Many children of wealthy families are unwilling to take over the family business not because of a lack of personal ability, but because they lack the confidence to succeed. If given the opportunity to gain experience in the United States, they may gain enough experience and confidence to return home and inherit the family business.
Currently, many investment immigration applicants have a concern: does choosing an immigration project in a different region mean they must choose a school in that same region? The answer is that there is no need to worry at all. Regardless of where in the United States an investor chooses an investment immigration project, the Green Card ultimately obtained is issued by the U.S. federal government and has no restrictions on place of residence, work, or study. Investors are free to work, study, and live anywhere within the United States.
Whether before or during the U.S. Green Card application process, it is recommended that students intending to study in the U.S. plan and prepare as early as possible. Generally speaking, if conditions permit, it is recommended to start preparing 4 years in advance: language, social topics, discovering personal strengths, etc. If one can receive a complete 4-year high school education in the United States, not only can they integrate into American society earlier, but they can also be exempt from the TOEFL exam, which offers many advantages.
It is usually recommended to submit university applications at least 1 year in advance. American universities generally formally submit university application materials from August to December each year, for the fall semester starting in September of the following year. If the application portal for your desired university has not yet opened for the year, you can look at the application questions from previous years, as the questions that need to be answered are often basically the same.
How to learn about a school and know if it is right for you? In terms of daily life, what difficulties do international students have in interacting with local American students? In these aspects, you can browse the school's website more to understand the school's major offerings, curriculum, faculty, and student activities. If possible, you can visit the school in person, audit some courses, and it is best to communicate with teachers.
In addition, find opportunities to attend information sessions or reception programs held by your desired school. It is even better if you have the opportunity to participate in academic summer camps to experience American-style education. Regarding communication with classmates, our advice is "Don't let your English defeat you"! Just like communicating with foreigners in China, they will not refuse to communicate with you just because their Chinese is not good.
Local Americans are generally friendly and very welcoming to international students and new immigrants integrating into their midst. Sports are a great way to make friends with Americans. Americans place great importance on sports. If international students and new immigrants are also willing to participate in school sports, participating in more sports will help them make American friends quickly. Exercising and making friends can be achieved in one go.
Worldway Immigration experts analyze: It is very necessary to enjoy American international educational resources and obtain legal resident status. The U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program is very popular due to its simple application conditions and short cycle. One person applies, and the whole family immigrates. After obtaining a Green Card, you can freely enter and exit the United States, and can live and work in any region of the United States without immigration residency requirements.
For U.S. EB-5 investment immigration, the key to success lies in choosing the project. In the 2015 fiscal year, U.S. investment immigration will face major events such as the arrival of visa backlogs, a surge in applications, and the expiration of the Regional Center Program, and it is highly likely that the investment amount will be increased. Therefore, choosing an EB-5 project that has been pre-approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services has become a better choice for dealing with uncertain factors. The Pennsylvania Turnpike project and the New York Liberty Garden luxury apartment project launched by Worldway Immigration are both high-quality EB-5 projects pre-approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
