Many domestic rich people will immigrate to Los Angeles, first of all it is important to get a green card, so what are the benefits of a green card in Los Angeles? And out of the country immigration network to take a look! The following is the relevant information I organized, welcome to read.
What are the benefits of a green card in Los Angeles
Holding a green card means that the cardholder has the right to permanent residence in the United States, and allows the family to enjoy the same benefits as legal permanent residents. When you get a green card, you are making a smart decision for yourself and all your immediate family, and for your unborn children and grandchildren. Those whose grandparents did not have this opportunity will forever change their status and that of all future generations from your generation onward. Your descendants will naturally have U.S. citizenship and will be able, at any time, to convert to any other citizenship they wish to join.
This is the freedom of "world citizenship," and it is a capital of incalculable value.
1. University tuition
University tuition (including graduate and doctoral students) is for locals only. In California, for example, foreign students pay more than $20,000 a year to attend a public university, while "locals" pay only $3,000 a year in tuition and fees.
2. The birth of a child
A child born in the U.S. to anyone in the U.S. (including illegal aliens) is considered a U.S. citizen and holds a U.S. passport, and regardless of age, is not subject to any limitations on residency outside the U.S., and may enter and exit the U.S. freely throughout his or her life.
3. Elementary and secondary school tuition
All U.S. elementary and secondary schools are mandatory until the age of 18 when they start college, which means zero tuition (except for "aristocratic" and private boarding schools). In comparison, the current rates for primary and secondary school students studying in the United States in Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou are more than $30,000 a year.
Many places in the U.S. offer English tutoring programs for elementary and middle school students who can't keep up with the regular curriculum. A full-time teacher tutors students every day until their English improves and they are able to keep up with the regular curriculum, at no extra charge.
4. Scholarships
For the average Chinese person interested in applying for a scholarship to a U.S. university, there are only a very limited number of scholarships open to foreign nationals to compete with the best and brightest from around the world. But for those with a green card, the range of scholarships available is far greater than what a foreigner can apply for.
And the competition is only local Americans. This is because many of the scholarship organizations in the US limit their scholarships to "Americans" (people with permanent residency in the US).
5. Student Loans
Green card holders over the age of 18 can apply for various types of student loans in the same year that they get their green cards, such as attending a good private university in the United States, where tuition and living expenses amount to up to 40,000 US dollars or more a year, and when the green card holder wants to study for a two-year master's degree, 60,000 or 70,000 US dollars can be loaned out. After graduation, if you can't find a job, you can't pay back the loan; if you find a job, you can pay back the loan in annual installments, usually taking only one-fifth to one-tenth of your monthly salary to pay back the loan. In the U.S., national policy ensures that no one is denied access to education due to economic hardship.
6. Immediate family members
When a green card holder marries a foreign national, he or she can apply for a green card for the spouse and the spouse's minor children under the age of 21.
7. Government assistance in finding a job
The US government has specialized agencies in various parts of the world that help people find jobs for free. If a green card holder registers his or her skills, specialties, and interests with the department, the department will find a job for the registrant free of charge. The department also provides free training in basic skills (e.g., computers, English, etc.) to assist job seekers.
8. Freedom of Employment
Green card holders are not restricted from working in the United States. In order to protect the interests of nationals, many jobs in the United States (high-tech, biochemical, military and other research, production and defense work) are not open to foreigners, even if they have the appropriate knowledge and expertise. This puts foreign students on a very unequal playing field with American students when it comes to finding jobs after college. Green card holders don't have to worry about this, and can move from a "disadvantage" to an "advantage".
9. Changes in the value of the labor force
The value of the same skill set in the U.S. labor market varies significantly with and without a green card, from 50% to hundreds of percent. For example, one of the coaches that my company successfully applied for, when she did not have a green card, her starting salary was 45,000 dollars per year, and when she had a green card, her starting salary changed to 85,000 dollars. Another IT person skilled in using statistical software only made $70,000 a year without a green card, while the position was $125,000 a year for someone with a green card.
10. Preferential treatment for companies
Unlike many developing countries, where foreigners are subject to more restrictions, locals (green card holders or citizens) can enjoy many preferential treatments, such as: types of companies, loans, taxes, and business programs, etc.
This is a good example of how a green card can help you get the most out of a green card, but it's not the only way.
11. Traveling the world
U.S. green card holders in most countries around the world (almost all European and American countries) can be exempted from being denied visas, with a green card and a "white paper" to realize the "global pass"
The U.S. green card holders in most countries around the world (almost all European and American countries) can be exempted from being denied visas. "This allows you to get the most out of your visa. This allows you to maximize your freedom to plan your life and career around the world.
12. Return to invest
Getting a U.S. green card that is regarded by the Chinese government as an overseas Chinese, back to China to register a company, the company for the U.S. company, the joint venture for the U.S.-China joint venture, the capital invested is regarded as foreign investment, and enjoy the relevant preferential policies. If the investment is fraudulent abroad, you can also look for the local U.S. consulate to coordinate and solve the problem.
U.S. green card holders can enjoy a number of other privileges when doing business in China, depending on the region.
13. Project Funds
Many U.S. government and public **** funds operate projects that require executives and beneficiaries to have "green card" status, which is not available to "foreigners". As a "foreigner", they are not entitled to enjoy the program. For example, the city of San Francisco has a half a million dollar grant to build an art sculpture on the waterfront. A prominent Chinese sculptor's proposal was selected, but in the end he could not accept the money because he did not have a "green card".
14. Retirement Benefits
Green card holders who have accumulated ten years of tax records over their lifetime (the bottom line is about $50 per month in paid taxes) will be able to receive a lifetime pension from the U.S. federal government ($700-$1,200 per month) after they retire (usually at age 65). For many immigrants, the number of years of receiving a pension is more than the number of years of working and paying taxes.
15. Unemployment Benefits
If the applicant, spouse, or even children do not have a job after transferring to a green card, the government will give you a job for free. If you are unemployed after having a normal income and paying taxes for at least six months, you can receive monthly government benefits (from $600 to $1200 per month) by going to the local U.S. authorities to report your unemployment and going through the relevant procedures.
16. Enjoy a high level of medical care
The level of medical care in the United States is the highest in the world today. A lot of China does not have the medicine in the United States have (such as the treatment of glaucoma special drugs); a lot of China can not do surgery in the United States can do (such as high burns cosmetic surgery); a lot of the United States is out of the equipment in China is using (such as laser treatment of myopia, the United States has been popularized by the fourth generation of the product, China has only begun to use the second generation of the product).
17. Loans
With a green card, you can buy a car or a house in the U.S. and easily get a variety of loans from the government, banks, and other relevant organizations. At the same time, the interest on the annual loan repayment for real estate purchases can also be used as a personal income tax deduction.
18. Life insurance and fund
Green card holders can enjoy some life insurance and fund insurance which are not available in China, but only available in the US, so that they can have more income after retirement. It is also possible to get very high insurance coverage at a much lower premium compared to China.
19. Senior Health Insurance
In the US, healthcare costs are quite high, but any "low-income" green card holder (without a tax record) can apply for a "medical card" after retirement. "and hold the card to see any disease without spending money. This completely relieves the worries of the elderly who are suffering from diseases. For those who do not belong to the low-income group, as long as they have accumulated 10 years of tax payment records, they only need to pay a small amount of premium after retirement, and most of the medical expenses will not be borne by them.
20. Subsidized housing
Green card holders can apply to buy a low-income apartment for seniors after retirement. You can purchase your own home in the U.S., built with state subsidies, for about 35% of the market price.

Eligible individuals can apply for admission to senior centers in their communities. The center's recreational programs, fitness, learning, and medical care are all free of charge. Meals are also free of charge, as is transportation from your home to the center.
22. Government Subsidies
Green card holders who do not have 10 years of accumulated tax records prior to retirement will be eligible for a direct government subsidy ($600+ per month, plus food stamps, etc.) when they retire (at age 65) as long as they have converted to U.S. Citizenship.
