The United States of America is seen as a gateway to freedom and a bag full of opportunities. Here is a simple guideline on the requirements to US immigration.

Family Relationships-if you get married with a US citizen, you can easily immigrate. You may need to wait for up to 10 years.

Employment-if you get a job for advanced degrees, immigration is easy. You may have to wait several years.

Good citizenship-you must prove to the United States that you are qualified to becoming a good citizen. This is done with police records that you have after the age of 16.

Medical history-you must be cleared medically to immigrate to the United States.

Investment-if you invest more than 500 thousand US dollars in the US, you will be awarded immigration.

Pulitzer winning journalist, Jose Antonio Vargas had unveiled last week that he did not hold a green card and that he was an illegal immigrant. This revelation has faced many opinions and debates on the issue about illegal immigrants.
Holding a green card is the entry to permanent citizenship in the USA. Hence the procedure for obtaining it is equally long and tedious. The many rules that govern this process are vague and sometimes overtly harsh.
According to Vargas, he entered the country at the age of 12 and started living with his grandparents. His mother who was initially supposed to come to USA could not make it because of a law that prevented married children of legal immigrants from coming into the country. His grandparents got him a fake green card and related documents.
Vargas was supposed to get married and get a green card but he was gay and uninterested in green card marriage. His other option was to do menial chores and escape the limelight. Instead he lied to employers and offices and continued to work as a journalist.
He will now be the face of the Dream Act which could provide a conditional permanent residency to all the illegal immigrant students who graduate from high school and who live in the country for more than 5 years with no criminal record. The bill was rejected once but has been reintroduced in the senate in May this year.

For many, getting an H1B Visa opens up a door of opportunity, a better we are at work, the greater are our chances of getting permanent residency. There are some simple tricks you can use to increase your chances of staying on the job and holding on to your H1B Visa. Once you are selected for work and get your H1B Visa, it is essential that you dress well and are on your best behavior.
You also need to status your boss/superior frequently and give periodic status reports (before he asks you for it). Your H1B Visa extension is more likely if you are on good terms with the team you are working with: so build good relations with your co-workers. Also, go for a job even if the skills sets don't match yours: it's not easy to get an H1B Visa.
