"Do not like in Russia? So got into your America! " - Often you can meet on the network. By the way, I could go to America for a long time in America, and in Europe, and in general to any country of the world (except Turkmenistan). Although the ocean shore, at least in a comfortable big city. But I do not want. I feel good here. I do not see any reason to throw from Russia. Moreover, pour in the USA. No, are you serious? There is no normal coffee there, there for every silence you require money, and pay huge American taxes? Okay, even if you all arrange it, then normal person Can live in a country where everything is measured with inches, miles, feet and degrees Fahrenheit? I pass! But if you suddenly decided to fall in the USA, I collected 10 ways for you. Do not thank!
1. Win Green Map
Green card is a certificate that gives the right to live and work in the United States. Every year, the States conduct a lottery in which 55 thousand Green cards are played. All educated or working inhabitants of countries with low immigration in the United States can participate. To do this, you need to fill out a questionnaire on the website of the American government and wait when the computer chooses the winners.
If suddenly you are lucky (the chance of winning a green card is about 1 out of 200), then you will need to fill in the questionnaires, pass the medical examination, collect a huge package of documents and then come to an interview to the US Embassy. If everything goes well, then it will be possible to sell property and leave to America.
2. Get an invitation to work
If you convince some american companythat she needs such a worker as you, then with its help you will be able to make a working visa. There are two types of working visas - H1B and L1. Visa H1B is issued by qualified workers for a period of 3 years. But they have a limit - only 65 thousand people can be issued in the year. Documents for a visa for you will give an employer, while he must prove that he could not find the appropriate Americans promised to you.
Visa L1 is issued to the top managers who want to open representation of their company in the United States. If you have your own company with a good annual turnover and at least three employees, then you have every chance to get it. To do this, you will need to assemble a huge package of documents, move to the US, make a branch profitable, and then you can be submitted to extend the working visa or receiving the Green card.
3. Be gay
If you are gay and you are oppressing, then you can ask the USA about granting asylum. To do this, you will need to come to the United States on the usual tourist visa and submit an appropriate application to the service of citizenship and immigration. At the same time, you will need to prove that in the native country you have been persecuted or you can subjected to them in the future. As evidence, documented descriptions of cases of violence, beatings and murders of gays and transgender people are suitable. After applying, you will be called on an interview, and depending on its outcome, you will be allowed to stay in the US or send you home.
4. Be talented
If you are an outstanding athlete, a musician, a scientist, a writer, a dancer or businessman, then you can apply for a visa O1. This is another type of work visa, so an American who wants to hire you to work or promote your talent. You will need to provide all evidence of your talent - letters, diplomas, recorded albums, paintings, recordings from concerts and everything else that can confirm your talent. Consideration of the application takes several months.
5. Get political asylum
As in the case of gay immigration, you will need to prove that you threaten your well-being in my homeland. It will be necessary to indicate who exactly oppresses you - the state itself or just evil people from which the police refuse to defend you. For submission of the application, there are cases of persecution due to political views, religious beliefs, national affiliation or belonging to any social group. After submitting the application, the service of citizenship and immigration will be carefully checked and then inform you about your decision.
6. Get married or marry
You can make a fictitious marriage with a citizen of America and submit a petition about the Green map. There are even special intermediaries who for a certain amount will easily find you a couple. But on an interview before decorating the Green card, you will need to prove that your marriage is real. You must live together, tell the same stories about the joint holidays, ride a visit to each other's parents, have general accounts, common friends and a bunch of joint photos.
In case the fictitality of marriage opens, you will find five years in prison or a huge fine. Also, when searching for a fictitious lover, there is a big chance to run into scammers who will throw you for money or start blackmail. Therefore, the best option is to go out for the American or marry an American for love.
7. Survive "Physical and Psychological Shocks"
To settle in America, you can try to place a visa category U - it is also called the "victim's visa". You will be given it if you have become a victim or a witness of a serious crime committed in the United States. It may be violence, slave trade, abduction and murder. The essence of the "victim's visa" is that America gives you a residence permit in exchange for help in disclosure perfect crime.
The validity period of the visa is 4 years, and by the end of its actions, it is possible to apply for the design of the Green card. It often happens that illegals pay someone for the fact that he specially drewed them with a knife on the camera. If you decide to go along the same way, you will have to get a good lawyer who can prove in court that you are not a fraudster.
8. Extend a tourist visa
If the validity period of your visa expires, then you can apply for its re-issuance. In some cases, it can be obtained without an interview. All you need to do is to pay consular collection, fill out an electronic statement, collect all the necessary documents and attribute them to the PONY EXPRESS office. If your statement is approved, then in a short time Pony Express will return to you your overseas visa.
9. Become a student
Student visa is called F1. It can be obtained for training at US universities or in language courses. To arrange it, in addition to the standard documents, you will need to collect all your diplomas, certificates of passing exams, invitation from the university, correspondence with the supervisor and various scientific publications. At the interview at the embassy, \u200b\u200byou will have to convince the interviewer that you really crave to learn, and after studying, you will be happy to return to your homeland to apply the knowledge gained in practice.
10. Invest in American business
The right to live and work in the USA gives the Visa EB-5. She is given to entrepreneurs who decide to invest money in the US business. The required amount of investment is calculated depending on the location and type of company. On average, it must be $ 1 million, but it can be reduced twice, if you are inserted into underdeveloped and incomplete regions. Your investment should create 10 new jobs at least 2 years.
Obtaining a passport - a formalized process defined Federal law On the procedure for departure from the Russian Federation and entry into the Russian Federation No. 114-FZ of August 15, 1996 and Order No. 310 of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation of May 26, 1997 "On approval of the instructions on the procedure for registration and issuance of passports to citizens Russian Federation For departure from the Russian Federation and entry into the Russian Federation ", registered in the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation on June 19, 1997 No. 1330.
However, many points should be taken into account here. The passport is issued a citizen of the Russian Federation on the basis of a written statement by the internal affair at the place of residence, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in the territory of the Russian Federation or the consular institution of Russia abroad. The child has the right to design separate passport From the birth of up to 18 years old, at least one of the parents.
At the place of registration of the passport, you must fill out (only by typewritten text) a number of questionnaires, applications and requirements for autobiographical and present data, indicating the absence of circumstances that prevent legitimate exit. The right of a citizen of the Russian Federation for departure may be temporarily limited when admitted to Gostain's information, due to the call on military service, when detention or condemnation, evasion from the obligations imposed by the court, as well as with a report about yourself knowingly false information when issuing documents. In any of these cases, the passport is temporarily covered.
The passport is made up of no more than 30 calendar days and is issued for a period of five years.
In the presence of documented circumstances, the time of issuing a passport is reduced to 3 days.
After 5 years, the procedure for obtaining a passport is repeated. It is not allowed to design a new passport without withdrawing or annullation of previously issued. The State Duma The Russian Federation adopted in 1999 adopted the Law "On Amendments ..." in this positionAccording to which a citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to have two passports, but with a number of conditions. You have the right to enter your child to your passport with a photo or without it and with him to go abroad (by the way, in this case you do not have to pay for a visa for a child to the country stay). The same law determined that if one of the parents disagree with the statement of the second to the issuance of a passport to the child, the paperwork will be denied.
And finally, now every citizen has the right to submit an application not only at the place of residence, but at the place of stay. However, the draft law has not yet been adopted by the Federation Council.
It is important to take into account the Decree of the President No. 1752 of 21.12.96., Determining the obligatory replacement of passports of an old sample with the symbols of the USSR for documents of the Russian Federation - more advanced protected blanks international Standard With symbols of Russia.
The forms of the non-existent state of the USSR are derived from the appeal and are subject to delivery. And here is a passport (with the symbols of the Russian Federation) in your hands.
Recently, the girlfriend and I remembered our common good friend, who went to America for three weeks. Knowing that he paid for air tickets and accommodation, we began to guess how many of our money as a result will spend on this trip. Laughing, suggested that it would be $ 100-200. True, I did not guess. Later, Alexey, athleting, said that he spent his money only for the purchase of a laptop. All the rest has enough travel.
So, how so - 22 days to live in America for free, not volunteer, not touching religious topics and not working in the standard sense of the word?
Meet Alexey Augustinovich - a man who loves educational programs And thanks to them, it receives fantastic opportunity for many opportunities for free in various countries of the world and at the same time receive benefits and get acquainted with interesting people (I will add to skeptics - no longer a student).
- Alexey, tell me, what kind of program is such a wonderful, which allows you to get to America for free?
- It is called Community Connection, for many years it organizes various cultural exchange programs and professional internships. The topic of the program, which I got to (by the way, from the second time) was called "Corporate Social Responsibility". And what can be especially valuable for Slavs - to participate in this and some other programs knowledge of English - not necessarily! In fact, all 22 days I was in America, we were taken by various organizations, banks, universities, etc., where we met with the leadership and watched, as they all arranged. And most of the time we lived in host families, that is, they also looked, as Americans really live, what problems they have, how the life arranged, whether they are happy that they inspire them. To see the American family from the inside, as far as possible - it was very interesting. In general, everything like I love is not a tourist trip according to standard places, but to see the ability to see real life, culture, lifestyle.
- Where exactly did you like?
- We traveled a lot on the state of Vermont, and were also in Boston and in New York.
- Do you know how big the contest was and what do you think helped you withstand the selection?
- As I said, I got to the program only from the second time. I know people who managed to fly only from the 4th. We must be aware that writing a motivational letter, interviews, the collection of documents takes a lot of time, but this is how it seems to me.
The competition is very dependent on the topic of set. It is announced annually 5-6 topics that can be applied. And on some topics initially wants to get a lot of people, and for some - there are few people, and an additional set is announced. So everyone has a chance to get. I know that from Belarus for those years that there is a program, more than a thousand people have come to America.
- You told you, how do business behave in America?
- The main idea I learned is that business is built there on 3 basic principles - it is Profit, People, Planet - that is, profit, people, planet. That is, first of all, you must take care of the profit, then about people and about the planet - this is the main promise. And yet - a very big emphasis is not just on the sale of goods, but on a constant improvement of quality, exclusivity, highlight. And of course, they are lovers to ask themselves and answer the question: "How does my business change the world?".
- I know you were in American schools. Tell me what I saw you impressed you.
"Although it was not included in the program, but the first family in which I lived, worked as teachers, and they suggested me to go on an excursion. I liked that there is a very free layout - some walls between rooms can be removed and thus conduct classes for several classes at the same time. It is very convenient for various practical work. In general, technically everything is very well equipped, there is a good library. Although this school is the most common, in a very small town, you can say "rural". Children with disabilities and children with Down syndrome learn in regular classes. As the teachers say, it helps other children to be more attentive, tolerant, and the people themselves with disabilities themselves are to close themselves and feel like a full member of society. It is also interesting that labor lessons for girls and boys are the same. They learn and cook, and wash. And make robots. And it is impossible to finish school, if you do not devote a certain number of hours by volunteering.
- One of the most complex questions Slavic countries are the standard of living of pensioners. How do this problem solve this problem in America?
- The system there seemed very interesting to me. If a person worked his whole life on the usual work and earned a standard pension - it does not quite enough for life (the pension is about 700 dollars per month). Therefore, many companies for their employees make a separate pension Fund. If there is no company in this company, people themselves invest money in a particular pension fund, often even in several. That is, they themselves take care of their old age. And they retire aged 60 to 70 years old - both men and women. About when it is to go from work - they make a decision themselves, based on their desires, finances and opportunities.
- Yes, what you told and showed - of course, very different from our realities. That's just where to find $ 7,000 on so housing? ..
Okay, the question is rhetorical. Let's better about food. Unfortunately, I have not been in America yet. And I have a stereotype in my head, that there are quite a lot of really thick people and that there is a mass of standardized, tasteless meal. How really?
- As far as I understand, the level of health and food quality is highly dependent on the level of education. Than a person formed, the more he earns and the more opportunities he has and desire to follow himself. Yes, education is expensive there, but this is a kind of entrance ticket - the more expensive the university, especially educated, educated and influential people There you can meet.
In general, it was fun to realize that people were not at all such as my stereotypical idea about the Americans. It turns out that they are not fat, they monitor them, actively engage different species Sports. One of the families in which I lived - every morning I got up at 4 am and went to the gym or played in basketball. Of course, probably, it depends on the state. I know that Vermont, in which I was, is considered one of the most "healthy" states.
As for the taste of food - during this time, that I was in America, I drove in perfect different places - In cheap eaters, and in expensive restaurants. First, I did not recover at all over these three weeks. Secondly, families where I lived, very much proper nutrition. Thirdly, the food was very tasty. Like this!
- And tell me something interesting about people? How are their moods, thoughts, lifestyle?
I was impressed that people do a lot there for various volunteer communities for local projects. Another indicative example: a woman wanted to get into one store, because there is quite cheap and clarified how to get there. What the Americans responded to her, they say, we do not recommend that you buy something there, as there are not very good conditions for employees.
For example, we were told about one ski resort (!), Among other things, organized a special program for people with disabilities, both mental and physical. They use a variety of devices so that people with disabilities are comfortable.
- In general, if you remember everything that was in these three weeks - what is the most vivid impression?
- Hmm, I need to think ... I really liked New York, I liked the people with whom I met there ... But the brightest impression was farewell and return)). For the first time in long-to-many years, I even let a tear at the airport - so I was touched by how we all said goodbye. Then feeling when you spent so much time with good people And you understand that it may never be here. And people - if you meet again, everything will be different.
"It seems to me that every journey changes a little man and expands the boundaries of his consciousness. What do you think?
- Yes, of course changes. My society was very impressed, where the level of education so strongly and so directly affects your income. And I thought that in any case it is very important not to stop in your development. I saw people who are active at 70 years old, they have their own firms, at this age they fly to Africa and so on.
We warned us that the first trip to America could become a cultural shock. But I did not have it. Shock came when I returned back)) I still can not understand why many of our people have such a shortage of courtesy and culture? Other eyes looked at the shops, streets, houses and entrances. Although it is not so important, more important people in these stores and on these streets. And everyone floundered, pushing each other with elbows ... Although, as correctly said, one American: "It's hard to think about volunteer projects and social responsibility when you have nothing."
Of course, this trip was free for me, but for me they paid money, my ticket, accommodation - all this was sponsored by different companies. And in such travel, it is important to remember that the experience, everything seen and heard should not blame for nothing, everything must be applied, try to transfer experience on our realities and - who knows - Maybe the world will be a little better?
