The New World was attractive to many immigrants several centuries ago. The emerging new country had a lot of prospects and its own merits. Many years have passed since then, and now, thanks to its developed economy, stability and legislative framework, America has remained the desired state, where dreams come true for many people in countries with a variety of problems and military actions.

Panorama of New York

Emigration to the United States has become so massive that over time, the government of this state had to impose its own restrictions and create special permits. Every year, more than 500 thousand residents of various countries leave for permanent residence in the United States.

To move to America, you must go through certain paperwork procedures and, most importantly, or a Green Card that allows you to legally stay in the country. You can also, and after graduation, try to get a prestigious job in the United States.

There are several legal ways to leave the United States completely legally. Everyone can choose for themselves the one that can suit him. Such programs are developed specifically for various situations and there are currently several categories. To be able to live in the New World, you must:

1. Be a sought-after specialist and. There is a special one for this category of people, which is issued for three years with the condition that the specialist will work in the company of the country.

   

   Sample visa for 3 years

   When the visa expires, if there is a permanent job and the company needs such an employee, then the visa is extended for a few more years. But after that, the document can no longer be extended. For those who intend to stay and work further, it is possible to apply for permanent residence within 6 years. The most promising employees are people who have knowledge in the field of medicine, engineering, economics, science and programming, art, architecture.

2. Possess knowledge in the field of various businesses and at the same time be able to develop and create it in America. This category began to develop. For example, if there is a business in Russia, Ukraine or Belarus, its branch can open in the USA. To be able to drive it, the owner is allowed to obtain a visa for one year. If the business is operating successfully, then you can extend the visa for another three years. Then you need to apply for a green card.

   If a business is acquired immediately, then such a businessman is issued a permit document immediately for three years. Russian businessmen have long had their own firms and even bank branches in America.

3. Be an investor. In order to meet the concept of an investor in the American economy, you need to deposit at least five hundred thousand dollars. In addition, you need to prove that these funds were acquired legally. When documents are submitted for obtaining a visa, the required funds are transferred to the account of a certain bank. If the authorization document is refused, then all transferred funds are returned to the owner.
4. Become a bride or groom, and subsequently the spouse of an American. The most interesting thing is that this is a fairly simple and affordable way to move to another country. Brides are in short supply in America. But in order to live in peace in one of the developed countries of the world, you must first find a potential groom.
   
   Get to know him either on the Internet, or on a tourist or business trip. Invite to visit and have on hand evidence of such an acquaintance: photographs, checks, extracts from hotels. All this is necessary in order to emigrate to the country of her husband.
   When official documents are received, you can make a move and register a marriage. Such a spouse is issued a visa for only two years. During the entire period, the spouses must live in the country, conduct a joint household and be married after the expiration of the visa. In addition, the commission may consider their entire life together to make sure that there are no grounds for recognizing the fictitious marriage.
5. Become a refugee. Thanks to the signing of the Geneva Treaty, America should accept refugees. A person of this category needs to prove that he is really being persecuted or that life in his homeland has become unsafe for him and his family. The ways of immigrating to the United States are quite diverse, but this one has its advantages. For example, for residents of Russia or Ukraine, as well as Belarus, it has become more accessible due to complex political relationships and various military conflicts.

   Such an application for refugee status must be submitted only in the territory of America. To do this, you need to collect all the documents at home, get a tourist visa and apply upon arrival.

6. Win the Green Card Lottery. There is an annual competition that is officially held by the US Department of Immigration. Anyone who wishes can participate in it. When registering on the official website, it is worth collecting documents in advance, because if the application is considered and the applicant receives a positive assessment, the next step will be to visit the embassy and obtain a visa. Only those countries participate in this draw, from which no more than fifty thousand people left for this country in five years.
7. Family ties. Having permanent relatives in America, according to the laws existing there, you can emigrate legally and, upon arrival, begin to apply for permanent residence in the United States.
   But there are always limits. Firstly, family ties must be very close, and secondly, you must be on the list of immigrant visas, since there is a certain number of such documents that are allowed to be issued per year.

Why do many dream of immigrating to the USA

"New England" - as America used to be called - a country with unique opportunities, especially for people with big capital. She has become very attractive to most Russians and residents of the CIS, because due to the fact that she has not signed extradition agreements with Russia, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belarus, it will be easy to hide from any persecution on her territory.

For example: any Russian businessman, if he is pursued by law enforcement agencies, can legally obtain permanent residence in the United States and calmly move with his family.



Even if the data of a citizen of Russia or Kazakhstan is entered into the Interpol database and he is wanted at the international level, observing the laws of America and having legal documents, he can safely move within the country. He is not restricted in any way and will not be extradited to these governments. Therefore, the question of why this country is so popular, for many emigrants, disappears by itself.

Another nuance is a fairly high standard of living and security from the state. Every year, as statistics show, more than 500 thousand emigrants from various countries come to America.
The same figures are observed according to the data of illegal immigration.

In total, it is allowed to issue Green Cards to each independent and officially recognized country up to 25,000.

Naturally, many people dream of getting such a pass to a brighter future. Therefore, if you fail the first time, people who have set a clear goal for themselves do not stop and try various ways to immigrate to the United States.

Existing diasporas of immigrants from the former CIS countries

The new America that emerged centuries ago was built in large part by immigration. The lion's share of which were immigrants from European countries and various empires. According to an expert of labor emigration and various diasporas, the first Russian settlers began to live here in the eighteenth century. The composition of such emigrants was mainly from the impoverished intelligentsia or simple artisans.

People involved in the study of such communities have repeatedly spoken about the role played by representatives of the Russian diaspora. In the era of the formation and development of the country, the Russians brought their intellectual and labor "brick", which made it possible to build walls of law and order.
The life of many of these emigrants, of course, was not easy at first. Now the US is trying to develop programs that support existing diasporas and attract those emigrants who live in small numbers.



Arrival of emigrants in the USA

Over the past year, statistics show that the outflow of emigrants from Russia has become much larger than in the past few years.

So, according to the state lottery, about ten thousand applications from Russians were put forward for a Green Card, of which three thousand won a ticket to a new life.

So others should take advantage of this opportunity.

The Jewish community is considered one of the fairly large diasporas. It was also formed from the first days of the emergence of a new country, but it gained its mass character in the era of the appearance of Hitler, when he persecuted Jews everywhere.

The Jewish intelligentsia and labor resources were forced to emigrate to places where the Germans could not get them. And modern America has always supported all nations and persecuted those who showed various anti-Semitic or racial tendencies.

Due to various dissatisfaction with life and other more global political circumstances, Kazakhs began to emigrate en masse in the sixties. Kazakhstan during this period was part of the Soviet Union. It was a rather difficult period for many residents of Kazakhstan.



But, despite the remoteness of America, the Kazakhs were able to settle there, although the largest diasporas are still located in fraternal Muslim countries. Modern Kazakhstan cooperates with the United States and concludes mutually beneficial agreements in which there are various programs that support the prosperous life of the Kazakh diaspora, and develops promising projects for students and young workers. This country supports cooperation on mutual investments.

Immigration to the United States from Ukraine began a long time ago. Many in the last century realized that this country is worth it to settle in it on a permanent basis. But the diaspora that existed there, numbering more than nine hundred thousand, was little noticeable and did not carry out special political activities as in Canada or other states. Only in recent years has it become more active in connection with the ongoing events in Ukraine.
