Worldway Group has learned that CNBC recently released its first-ever salary ranking for US university graduates. The rankings were compiled based on data for US undergraduate graduates from both private and public universities, including median salaries for 0-5 years of experience, salaries for 10+ years of experience, average early and mid-career salaries, and net costs during study. Notably, Stanford University and the University of Washington, Seattle took the top spots for private and public universities, respectively. This ranking provides parents with another perspective for planning their children's education.

As can be seen from the table above, the salary levels for US university graduates are relatively high compared to other countries. Employment income is one of the key considerations for many people immigrating to the US, and the other is children's education. More and more people are studying abroad, but it is becoming increasingly difficult to obtain scholarships and work in the US. Forward-thinking parents have already considered their children's future employment and opportunities, and have applied for a US Green Card early on. A US Green Card gives children more than just an international education; it also provides opportunities for equal competition, more reasonable education investment costs, and more. Below, we analyze the impact of having a US Green Card on children's education:
First, Differences in Education Costs
Green Card holders can enjoy 12 years of free public education: Students with Green Card status receive compulsory education until they go to university at age 18, with zero tuition fees (excluding "elite" or private boarding schools). For mid-tier public universities, international students pay $10,000-$20,000 in tuition per year, while domestic students (Green Card holders) only pay a little over $2,000.
Second, Differences in Admission Competitive Advantages
To protect and prioritize admission opportunities for domestic students, there is strict control over the admission of international students. Students with a Green Card have a higher chance of being admitted to top universities than those without one. In particular, the number of international students admitted by the top 50 US universities is not high. Based on past data, top universities like Harvard and Yale admit about 10% of international students on average. This means that students with a Green Card have about 9 times the chance of admission compared to those without one.
Third, Differences in Major Selection
Due to various factors, many popular majors at many universities are not open to international students, or are strictly limited, such as medicine, law, aviation, and communications. In addition, US education gives students with a Green Card full freedom of choice. Opportunities to transfer schools and change majors in university provide students with space to adjust their future direction. However, for international students, transferring schools and changing majors is almost impossible.
Fourth, Differences in Scholarships and Financial Aid
If you are a general international student, you must compete with outstanding students from all over the world for a very limited number of scholarship categories open to foreign nationals, and the difficulty is self-evident. However, for students with US status, they can not only enjoy a variety of scholarships and financial aid, but also easily apply for student loans, which relieves many worries for their study abroad life.
Fifth, Differences in Employment Restrictions
The vast majority of international students hope to stay and work in the US after graduation through their own efforts. Most of them try to obtain a Green Card by getting an H-1B work visa. However, as H-1B audits become increasingly strict, the path to a Green Card through an H-1B work visa has become increasingly difficult. At the same time, while waiting for a Green Card, salaries are usually more than 50% lower than for the same position. If you change jobs during this period, the Green Card application will be abandoned, and all previous preparations and related files will be voided.
After graduating with a US Green Card, you have no worries about your status. You can freely choose your career development path, stay in the US to develop, or return to your home country to work hard. You have the flexibility to advance or retreat.
"Education planning, status first" has become the current new choice. Dallas No. 1 allows you to have a Green Card. Plan ahead, prepare for your child's future in advance, and give your child better education and opportunities to work and grow in the US. Known as the "EB-5 Diamond Project," Dallas No. 1 will be your best choice. This project has received "dual approval" for the I-526 exemplar and individual investor cases. As of March 2019, the employment generated by the project's actual construction costs has reached more than 80% of the employment required for all investors to remove conditions. At the same time, the project also has many advantages, greatly protecting the interests of investors and helping investors successfully immigrate to the US. Currently, the project is under orderly construction as planned.
Project Advantages
● Project I-526 exemplar and individual investor cases "dual approved"
● Located in the diamond zone of the US economic growth pole, with a superior geographical location
● Billionaire personally leads and signs to move in
● Total repayment mortgage guarantee is as high as 3.8 times the EB-5 capital
● The project has started, and employment creation can be exceeded upon completion
● Rare triple protection mechanism to safeguard capital security
● Independent third-party institution audits EB-5 loan disbursement
● Pioneering "Buyer's Attorney" to protect the rights and interests of EB-5 investors
● Dual independent supervision mechanism
● Strong EB-5 professional team to jointly control quality
● Strong market demand and broad development prospects
EB-5 investment immigration has been confirmed to increase prices on November 21. At that time, the investment amount will nearly double. The minimum investment amount for a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) will increase from $500,000 to $900,000; the investment amount for a non-Targeted Employment Area will increase from $1 million to $1.8 million. Worldway Group advises investors who have decided to immigrate to the US and have mature financial conditions to seize the current "last train" of the $500,000 low-threshold, high-cost-performance policy.
