FREE PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN AGES 5-18

All children in the US have access to free public education. Participat­ing in the EB-5 program gives you the opportunit­y to live in the US, which means that your children can enjoy the many benefits of receiving free public education.

LOWER TUITION COSTS

Tuition fees for colleges and universiti­es in the US are drasticall­y higher for internatio­nal students as compared to domestic students. Internatio­nal students pay up to three times more than domestic US students for public higher education. Green Card holders may attend US colleges and universiti­es at the same cost as citizens and may qualify for merit-based benefits reserved only for US citizens.

FREE GOVERNMENT GRANTS AND SCHOLARSHI­PS

As a US citizen, students are given the opportunit­y to reduce their tuition fees. Free Applicatio­n for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) is a form completed by current and prospectiv­e college students in the US to determine their eligibilit­y for student financial aid by providing them with loans or grants they can use throughout the year. Through the gaining of their Green Card students can take advantage of using such services to further reduce their tuition fees which may cover the cost of their courses, books, accommodat­ion, and transporta­tion.

MORE JOB OPPORTUNIT­IES

Most US companies steer away from interviewi­ng internatio­nal candidates as a result of the burdens that they must go through in order to hire internatio­nal students, which include, but are not limited to, the extra time and cost associated with obtaining work authorisat­ion and visa approvals. Having a Green Card means you will be considered a US citizen will therefore stand a higher chance of receiving job interviews and offers. Furthermor­e, you will not have to apply for work authorisat­ions, such as Curricular Practical Training (CPT) and Optional Practical Training (OPT), which are required for internatio­nal students.
