QA問(wèn)答：我如何移民到美國(guó)?

Geoff Leigh
How can I immigrate to the USA from Egypt?
1. Have a relative that is a US citizen and qualify for family re-unification immigrant status - Might have to wait for 10 years for the application to be completed.
2. Marry a US citizen, with love, commitment and survive at least 2 years and pass the immigration test that it is not a marriage of convenience.
3. Study at a US college, get an advanced degree (Masters) and find a job where the employer will apply for HI-B, continue for 4 years and then apply for permanent resident green card.
4. Emigrate to Canada ( with a high-scoring skill), wait 4 years, become a Canadian citizen, get a Job as a specific professional category in the USA under treaty NAFTA, get TN-1 work visa and apply for a green card permanent resident status.

從埃及移民到美國(guó)的方法有以下幾種：
親屬移民：如果你有一個(gè)親屬是美國(guó)公民，并且符合家庭團(tuán)聚的移民條件，可能需要等待10年才能完成申請(qǐng)。
婚姻移民：如果你與美國(guó)公民結(jié)婚，并且婚姻是出于真愛和承諾，至少維持2年，并通過(guò)移民測(cè)試證明這不是一場(chǎng)權(quán)宜婚姻。
留學(xué)轉(zhuǎn)工作：在美國(guó)大學(xué)獲得高級(jí)學(xué)位（如碩士），找到工作后，雇主可能為你申請(qǐng)H1-B工作簽證，工作4年后可申請(qǐng)永久居民綠卡。
通過(guò)加拿大：先移民到加拿大，成為公民后，根據(jù)北美自由貿(mào)易協(xié)定（NAFTA）在美國(guó)獲得特定專業(yè)工作，獲得TN-1工作簽證，然后申請(qǐng)綠卡。

5. Have $500,000 to a $ 1 Million as an Investor, with the view to set up a company in the USA, employ at least 10 US citizens for at least 2 years ( so you probably need to have at least $5million USD available to make that work. )Apply to be made a permanent resident before the end of the 2 years.
6. Apply for and win a slot of the US Diversity Permanent Resident Green Card Lottery.
5. Come as a person of international renown - like a famous actor, singer, musician, Sports person especially in an Olympic sport or for an American Professional Sport club (Basketball, Baseball, American Football), Nobel Prize winner or innovative inventor, as America likes 'winners' and famous people.
6. Try for the small amount of Professional H1-B work visas if you have an employer that would sponsor that, wait 4 years and apply for Permanent Resident/Green Card. (upxe: as of June 24, 2020 this option is suspended until.the end of 2020, after a partial freeze started earlier related to the COVID-19 economic impact to the US economy, except in a few categories such as food supply, health and pharmaceutical specialist occupations.)

投資移民：作為投資者，如果你有50萬(wàn)到100萬(wàn)美元的話，計(jì)劃在美國(guó)設(shè)立公司并至少雇傭10名美國(guó)公民2年，可能需要至少500萬(wàn)美元來(lái)實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)，并在2年結(jié)束前申請(qǐng)成為永久居民。
綠卡抽簽：申請(qǐng)并贏得美國(guó)多元化永久居民綠卡抽簽的一個(gè)名額。
特殊人才：作為國(guó)際知名人士，如著名演員、歌手、音樂(lè)家、體育運(yùn)動(dòng)員、諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)獲得者或創(chuàng)新發(fā)明家，因?yàn)槊绹?guó)喜歡"贏家"和名人。
H1-B工作簽證：如果你的雇主愿意擔(dān)保，可以嘗試申請(qǐng)少量的H1-B工作簽證，等待4年后申請(qǐng)綠卡。但自2020年6月24日起，由于COVID-19疫情對(duì)美國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)的影響，這一選項(xiàng)已被暫停，不過(guò)食品供應(yīng)、健康和制藥專業(yè)等少數(shù)類別還是可以。

That is all depending on the current Government, congress, and President not barring you because of Country of Origin, Religion - and you have some specific ability or talent. Additionally, the Immigration Law is one of the things that may get overhauled completely as President Trump has it on his to-do list.
There may be a re-instatement of all visa applications being denied, revoked or halted from many countries including primarily Muslim Countries and terrorist supporting regimes.
Also, if you do get to the USA somehow, you must not use any public funds (grants, unemployment or social security welfare) or commit any crime or be arrested or convicted of any violation of sometimes archaic and biased laws, where ignorance of the law is not a defense. It could be a pattern that some biased and bigoted law enforcement agencies may as well as harass you find some way to arrest and charge you for being not from the USA. The Statue of Liberty and the 'Bring your poor and tired masses' welcoming immigration to the USA is long gone, and if the Statue of Liberty could move I am sure that she would stomp north of the border and settle down off of Newfoundland, Canada!

移民美國(guó)的這些可能性都取決于當(dāng)前的政府、國(guó)會(huì)和總統(tǒng)，他們不會(huì)因?yàn)槟愕脑畤?guó)或宗教信仰而阻撓你，同時(shí)你還需要具備一些特殊的能力或才能。此外，移民法可能會(huì)經(jīng)歷一次徹底的改革，因?yàn)檫@是特朗普總統(tǒng)在其待辦事項(xiàng)清單上的一項(xiàng)。
所有被拒絕、撤銷或暫停的簽證申請(qǐng)可能會(huì)被恢復(fù)，這些申請(qǐng)主要來(lái)自包括穆斯林國(guó)家和支持恐怖主義的政權(quán)在內(nèi)的許多國(guó)家。
如果你設(shè)法到達(dá)美國(guó)，你不能使用任何公共資金，比如補(bǔ)助、失業(yè)金或社會(huì)保障福利，也不能犯下任何罪行或被逮捕或被定罪，有時(shí)是因?yàn)橐恍┕爬虾陀衅姷姆?，而不了解法律并不是辯護(hù)的理由。這可能是一些有偏見和偏執(zhí)的執(zhí)法機(jī)構(gòu)的模式，他們可能會(huì)騷擾你，找到逮捕和指控你的理由，因?yàn)槟悴皇莵?lái)自美國(guó)。自由女神像和“將你那些疲憊的、貧窮的、渴望自由呼吸的擁擠的群眾交給我”的移民精神已經(jīng)不復(fù)存在，如果自由女神像能移動(dòng)，我相信她會(huì)越過(guò)邊境向北，定居在加拿大紐芬蘭附近。

Some example of Obscure laws still valid in some states include :
Do not cut down a Cactus in Arizona, otherwise 25 years in jail is the maximum penalty;
Do not sell your eyeballs in Texas.
Do not go fishing without checking and obtaining a fishing permit, particularly in Federal,State, County or City owned land or sea shore. (A Chinese couple, a customer of my wife for real estate, were deported for not obeying this law and lost their 'green cards'.)
Do not sell a toothbrush as well as toothpaste to the same customer on a Sunday in Rhode Island.
So the American Dream may only be a mirage, my friend, unless you have great luck and skill and patience !

這些讓人費(fèi)解的法律仍然于某些州有效，包括：
不要在亞利桑那州砍仙人掌，否則可能面臨最高25年的監(jiān)禁；
不要在德克薩斯州出售你的眼球；
釣魚前一定要檢查并獲取釣魚許可證，特別是在聯(lián)邦、州、縣或市擁有的土地或海岸線上釣魚（有一對(duì)中國(guó)夫婦，因未遵守這一法律而被驅(qū)逐出境，失去了他們的綠卡）；
在羅德島州，不要于星期天向同一位顧客同時(shí)出售牙刷和牙膏。
因此，美國(guó)夢(mèng)可能只是一個(gè)幻象，除非你擁有極大的運(yùn)氣、技能和耐心。

There are 3 major pathways to immigration to the U.S.: (1) family, (2) job, (3) refugee.
Most people are not refugees, and don't have relatives in the U.S., so options (1) and (3) are out of reach.
Option (2), the job / employment-based immigration, is the only viable pathway for the vast majority of people on this Earth.
Under US law, a company applies for your visa. In general, you need to get a job offer first from a company that loves you so much that they'll apply for a visa for you, and are willing to wait the average 6 months it takes for the visa to get processed. It is hard to find such a company, but it certainly is not impossible.
The best US work visa right now is the H-1B. It lets you change jobs to any company (as long as the job is related to your major/focus in college), and provided that company is willing to do a small amount of work to "transfer" the H1B visa.

美國(guó)的移民途徑主要有三大類：（1）家庭移民，（2）職業(yè)移民，（3）難民。大多數(shù)人既不是難民，也沒(méi)有親屬在美國(guó)，因此第一和第三條途徑對(duì)他們來(lái)說(shuō)難以觸及。
第二條途徑，即基于職業(yè)的移民，對(duì)地球上絕大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)，是唯一可行的方式。
根據(jù)美國(guó)法律，通常由公司為你申請(qǐng)簽證。一般來(lái)說(shuō)，你首先需要從一家非常喜歡你的公司獲得一份工作，他們會(huì)為你申請(qǐng)簽證，并且愿意等待平均6個(gè)月的簽證處理時(shí)間。雖然找到這樣的公司不易，但絕非不可能。
目前美國(guó)最好的工作簽證是H-1B簽證。它允許你更換工作，只要新工作與你在大學(xué)學(xué)習(xí)的專業(yè)相關(guān)，并且新公司愿意為你“轉(zhuǎn)移”H-1B簽證。

There's another visa called the L-1 visa for intra-company transfer, but it sucks. It locks you down to the company. You can't change jobs, and you get kicked out if you ever get let go from that company.
You've asked your question at a good time. Every year, companies apply for the H1B visa on April 1. There is a limit of 85,000 visas per year, and if the gov receives more than 85,000 H1B applications on April 1, they perform a computer randomized lottery and randomly sext 85,000.
If you want to move to the US, this is the time. First, you need to get a tourist (B-2 visa). If you are the citizen of a rich country, you might be able to visit the US without a visa, and stay for up to 3 months through the Visa Waiver Program (VWP).
Ideally, fly in on Jan 1, and stay for the full 3 months. You could sublet an apartment for 3 months on craigslist. Then apply for jobs diligently. Apply, apply, apply.

還有另一種L-1簽證，適用于公司內(nèi)部調(diào)動(dòng)，但它有限制。它將你綁定在特定公司，你不能換工作，一旦被解雇，你將被迫離開。
你提問(wèn)的時(shí)機(jī)很好。每年4月1日，公司會(huì)提交H1B簽證申請(qǐng)。每年簽證限額為85,000個(gè)，如果政府在4月1日收到的申請(qǐng)超過(guò)這個(gè)數(shù)量，他們會(huì)通過(guò)電腦隨機(jī)抽簽，從中選出85,000個(gè)。
如果你想搬到美國(guó)，現(xiàn)在是時(shí)候了。首先，你需要獲得旅游簽證（B-2簽證）。如果你來(lái)自富裕國(guó)家，你或許可以通過(guò)免簽計(jì)劃（VWP）——無(wú)需簽證就能訪問(wèn)美國(guó)，最長(zhǎng)停留3個(gè)月。
理想情況下，你可以在1月1日抵達(dá)，停留整個(gè)3個(gè)月。你可以在Craigslist上短期租一個(gè)公寓。然后積極地申請(qǐng)工作，不斷申請(qǐng)。

Also, while traveling on VWP or on a B-2 visa, do not say you're going to apply for jobs, as this is a legal grey area, and the interpretation of the law is subjective and varies on whether looking for a future H-1B sponsor is considered "immigrant intent" (as the H-1B is after all a non-immigrant visa).
I've read of people who in their B visa interview said that they were going to the U.S. to interview for a future potential H-1B sponsor, and were approved for the visa, and restated that as the purpose of their travel at the border as well. So this is definitely seen as legal by at least a large number of immigration and consular officers. However, there is still a possibility that you could get denied entry at the U.S. airport you arrived in under Immigration and Nationality Act Section 214(b) for having "immigrant intent", get sent back, and receive an automatic 5-year ban as a result.
If you are a good software developer, you should have no problem finding a company willing to apply for you. Once a company says they'll apply for you, you just need to go back to the UK and wait for the results of the lottery.
You'll know if you won the lottery by June/July. Last year, they got 233,000 application, and they chose 85,000 out of that randomly. You could say your odds of winning are 1 in 3. There might be even more applications this year.

此外，在持免簽證或B-2簽證旅行時(shí)，不要說(shuō)你要申請(qǐng)工作，因?yàn)檫@是一個(gè)法律的灰色地帶，對(duì)于尋找未來(lái)的H-1B擔(dān)保人是否被認(rèn)為是“移民意圖”(因?yàn)镠-1B畢竟是一種非移民簽證)，法律的解釋因主觀判斷而異。
我了解到一些人在他們的B簽證面試中說(shuō)，他們?nèi)ッ绹?guó)是為了面試一個(gè)未來(lái)可能的H-1B擔(dān)保人，并獲得了簽證，他們?cè)谶吘程幰仓厣炅诉@一旅行目的。所以這至少被許多移民和領(lǐng)事官員視為合法。然而，你仍有可能根據(jù)《移民和國(guó)籍法》第214(b)條，因具有“移民意圖”而被拒絕入境，被遣返，并因此自動(dòng)受到5年禁令。
如果你是一名優(yōu)秀的軟件開發(fā)者，你應(yīng)該不難找到愿意為你申請(qǐng)的公司。一旦公司表示愿意為你申請(qǐng)，你只需返回英國(guó)等待抽簽結(jié)果。
你將在6月或7月得知是否中簽。去年，他們收到了233,000份申請(qǐng)，隨機(jī)選擇了85,000份。中獎(jiǎng)幾率大約是1/3。今年的申請(qǐng)數(shù)量可能更多。

If you don't win the lottery, there's two options:
Re-attempt this whole process, and try the lottery every year. You'd have to move to the US for at least a month or two, ideally in January, February or March.
You could get a job at a US company in the UK, and ask for a transfer to the US. If it works out, you'll be in the US on a L-1 visa. This visa doesn't allow you to change jobs, and requires you to leave the country if you ever leave the company. But if your job is with a large stable company, that shouldn't be too much to worry about. Now there's two routes you can go down from here:
Ask your company (i.e. the sponsor of your L-1 transfer visa) to apply for an employment-based green card. The green card process can last anywhere from 1 year to 6 or 7 years (or more), depending on what category you were put in, and what country you were born in. You are, again, locked to your company during this period.

如果沒(méi)有中簽，你有兩個(gè)選擇：
重新嘗試整個(gè)過(guò)程，每年都參加抽簽。你可能需要至少在1月、2月或3月搬到美國(guó)，住上一個(gè)月或兩個(gè)月。
你可以在英國(guó)的美國(guó)公司找到工作，并請(qǐng)求調(diào)到美國(guó)。如果成功，你將以L-1簽證在美國(guó)工作。這種簽證不允許你換工作，如果你離開公司，你必須離開美國(guó)。但如果你的工作是在一家大型且穩(wěn)定的公司，這應(yīng)該不會(huì)太令人擔(dān)憂。這有兩條路線讓你選擇：
要求你的公司（即L-1簽證的擔(dān)保人）為你申請(qǐng)基于就業(yè)的綠卡。綠卡過(guò)程可能持續(xù)1到7年或更久，取決于你的類別和出生地。在此期間，你將被綁定在公司。

You can look for jobs in January-February-March period while you're in the US on the L-1 visa. The company will have to apply for an H1B visa for you. If you win the lottery, they switch you over from your old L1 to your new H1B. Once you're approved for the H1B, you can switch to other jobs fairly freely. (There's still paperwork to change jobs on the H1B, but 70% of tech companies in the US are willing to do it.)
If you've successfully navigated this obstacle course, and are now in the U.S. with a wonderful job, make sure to ask your employer to start the employment-based green card application process for you, before too long. The L-1B is limited to 5 years, and the L-1A to 7 years.
Similarly, the H-1B visa is limited 6 year visa, and at the end of the 6 years, you are automatically banned from the U.S. for one year, as part of a "foreign residency requirement". You do not wait until the 5th or even 4th to ask your employer to apply for your green card. Ideally, ask before you hit your third year.
Alright then, good luck to you!

你可以在1月至3月期間在美國(guó)尋找工作，當(dāng)時(shí)你持L-1簽證。新公司將不得不為你申請(qǐng)H1B簽證。如果你中簽，他們將把你從舊的L1簽證轉(zhuǎn)為新的H1B簽證。一旦你獲得H1B簽證，你可以相對(duì)自由地?fù)Q工作（盡管換工作時(shí)仍需辦理一些手續(xù)，但70%的美國(guó)科技公司愿意這樣做）。
如果你成功地通過(guò)了這些障礙，并且現(xiàn)在在美國(guó)有了一份好工作，請(qǐng)確保讓你的雇主盡快開始為你申請(qǐng)基于就業(yè)的綠卡程序，不要等到L-1B的5年或L-1A的7年限制快到時(shí)才申請(qǐng)。
好吧，祝你好運(yùn)！

Andrew Ekleberry
What is the best way to move to the United States?
Make sure you actually want to move here first. I know this isn’t the answer you are looking for, but coming to the US is not great for most people. Many people come here and regret it.
Be sure you are coming here for the right reasons, and that it will be what you want to do.
If you have no family here, you are going to be lonely. If you are of a different religion, there is going to be a culture shock.
We have a number of foreign people where I work. Just last week, a bunch wanted to go celebrate some foreign festival. Well the boss said, we don’t do that here. You leave, don’t come back. Your job will be terminated.
They spent the night everyone else was celebrating, in the warehouse working.

搬到美國(guó)最好的方式是什么?
首先，確保你真的想要移民到這里。我知道這不是你想要的答案，但對(duì)大多數(shù)人來(lái)說(shuō)，來(lái)美國(guó)并不是件好事。很多人來(lái)到這里后都后悔了。
在決定來(lái)美國(guó)之前，請(qǐng)確保你出于正確的理由，并且這確實(shí)是你想要的生活方式。
如果你在這里沒(méi)有家人，你可能會(huì)感到很孤單。如果你信仰的宗教與這里主流不同，你可能會(huì)經(jīng)歷文化沖擊。
在我工作的地方有一些外國(guó)人。就在上周，一些人想慶祝他們國(guó)家的某個(gè)節(jié)日。但老板說(shuō)，我們這里不慶祝那個(gè)節(jié)日。如果你們離開，就不用回來(lái)了，你們的工作會(huì)被終止。
他們不得不在其他人慶祝的時(shí)候，在倉(cāng)庫(kù)里工作了一整晚。

Had another guy, think he could go pray in the corner for 20 minutes. He would walk off. Come back, spend 30 minutes working, then take a break. Then he’d come back, spend 15 minutes work, and wonder off to pray. Then come back, work 30 minutes, and go to lunch.
No. We pay you to work. Not pray. If you pray, then you don’t get breaks. Prayer time, is your break time. And your break time is 15 minutes, not 30 minutes or however long you want to pray.
He doesn’t work there anymore.
I have a guy from Bangladesh. He wants to play cricket. We don’t play cricket. He has all his cricket stuff, and he hasn’t played a single game since he’s been here.
We had a company party, and we ordered pizza. Well some people were ticked off that we ordered pepperoni. Well… this is America. We eat pigs here.

還有一個(gè)人，他以為他可以去角落里祈禱20分鐘。他離開崗位，回來(lái)后再工作30分鐘，然后休息。接著他又離開去禱告15分鐘，回來(lái)后再工作一會(huì)兒，然后去吃午飯。
但我們付錢是讓你工作的，不是讓你禱告的。如果你要禱告，那就意味著你不能休息了。你的禱告時(shí)間應(yīng)該算作你的休息時(shí)間。而你的休息時(shí)間只有15分鐘，不是你想禱告多久就禱告多久的。
他已經(jīng)沒(méi)在這里工作了。
我還有一個(gè)來(lái)自孟加拉國(guó)的同事，他想打板球。但我們這里不打板球。他帶來(lái)了所有的板球裝備，但自從來(lái)到這里后，他一次比賽也沒(méi)打過(guò)。
我們公司有一次聚會(huì)，我們訂了披薩。有些人對(duì)我們訂了意大利辣香腸披薩感到不滿。但這就是美國(guó)，我們這里吃豬肉。

This is how it works in this country.
Lastly, you need to know something about how the economy works.
If you have a really awesome skill, you can make some great money here. But you need that really awesome skill.
If you don’t have a degree, and be really skilled…. LIFE WILL BE HARD.
We have people that come here, and all they can do is work in a warehouse.
You are going to be moving heavy boxes. You are going to be paid $13/hour. That’s $500 a week. Your rent is going to be $800 a month, and that’s for a 600 sq ft 1 bedroom apartment. Food is going to run you $300 a month. Heating, electricity, phone, easily $300 a month.
Starting to get the picture? Things are not cheap here. If you don’t have a really good job, with really good pay, your life will not be easy.
I’m not trying to talk you out of it, but you need to think realistically. The US streets are made of concrete, not gold. And people work for living.

這個(gè)國(guó)家的運(yùn)作方式就是這樣。
最后，你需要了解一些經(jīng)濟(jì)運(yùn)作的常識(shí)。
如果你擁有一項(xiàng)非常出色的技能，你在這里可以賺很多錢。但你需要的是一項(xiàng)真正杰出的技能。
如果你沒(méi)有學(xué)位，又不是非常擅長(zhǎng)某項(xiàng)技能……生活將會(huì)非常艱難。
有些人來(lái)到這里，他們能做的只在倉(cāng)庫(kù)里從事體力活。
你可能需要搬運(yùn)沉重的箱子，你的時(shí)薪可能是13美元。這意味著你一周能賺大約500美元。而你的租金可能就要800美元一個(gè)月，那還只是一個(gè)600平方英尺的一居室公寓。每月的食物可能要花費(fèi)你300美元，暖氣、電費(fèi)、電話費(fèi)，至少又是300美元一個(gè)月。
開始有點(diǎn)概念了嗎？這里的生活成本并不低。如果你沒(méi)有一份收入豐厚的好工作，你的生活將不會(huì)輕松。
我不是想勸你放棄，但你得現(xiàn)實(shí)一點(diǎn)。美國(guó)的街道由混凝土鋪成，而不是由金子鋪成。在這里，人們?yōu)榱松?jì)而工作。

What are the options in migrating to US?
why on earth would you want to. Look at the UK, New Zealand, Australia and Canada. All have better quality of life, far lower crime, comprehensive social safety nets and tax funded health care.

移民美國(guó)有哪些選擇?
你到底為什么要移民到美國(guó)。看看英國(guó)、新西蘭、澳大利亞和加拿大。這些國(guó)家的生活質(zhì)量更高，犯罪率低得多，擁有全面的社會(huì)安全網(wǎng)和稅收資助的醫(yī)療保健。

James Lacey
How can I immigrate to America?
US masters in engineering or computer science, then optional practical training, then H1B visa, then Green Card (permanent residency). No guarantees, of course, but this is a common path.
Or marry an American.

我怎樣才能移民到美國(guó)?
獲得美國(guó)工程或計(jì)算機(jī)科學(xué)碩士學(xué)位，然后是可選的實(shí)踐培訓(xùn)，然后是申請(qǐng)H1B簽證，接著申請(qǐng)綠卡(永久居留權(quán))。當(dāng)然，不能保證，但這是一條常見的道路。
或者與一個(gè)美國(guó)人結(jié)婚。
