In the past two years, the number of applicants for U.S. investment immigration has been increasing daily. Therefore, we have collected questions that applicants are concerned about and provided answers.
1. Why has the number of U.S. immigration applicants remained high?
Answer: The United States offers unlimited business opportunities, does not impose immigration monitoring, and has an excellent educational environment. After applicants move to the United States, their immediate or extended family members, whether married or single, can also immigrate to the United States.
2. Is it necessary to apply through investment immigration?
Answer: There are many ways, including family sponsorship, specialized occupations, and extraordinary ability individuals. However, if the conditions do not match, investment immigration is the most convenient and fastest option with the least personal requirements.
3. After obtaining a permanent green card, how long must one stay in the United States?
Answer: There are no restrictions on the duration of stay, but it is best to visit at least once every six months, regardless of the length of stay. To maintain green card status, one should demonstrate the intention of permanent residence, such as purchasing property in the United States, having children study in the United States, filing taxes annually, and maintaining bank deposits.
4. How many years after obtaining a permanent green card can one apply for citizenship?
Answer: One can apply as long as the following conditions are met: (1) have held a permanent green card for five years or have been married to a U.S. citizen and held a green card for at least three years; (2) have resided in the United States for more than half of the five years; (3) have not left the United States for more than one year; (4) must be at least 18 years old.
5. If the main applicant obtains a green card but does not stay in the United States for a long time, will it affect their family members' residency rights in the United States?
Answer: Once a green card is obtained, each individual is independent and will not affect each other.
6. What is the difference between a conditional green card and a permanent green card?
Answer: There is no difference in substantive benefits, but a conditional green card must have the "conditional" status removed by applying to the immigration bureau within 90 days before the cardholder has held it for two years, in order to convert it to a permanent green card.
