Guide for New Immigrants

Welcome to the United States. Congratulations on becoming a permanent resident of the United States of America. As a permanent resident of the United States, you have made a decision to call this country your home. As you work to achieve your goals, take some time to get to know this country, its history, and its people. It is now both your right and your responsibility to shape the future of this country and ensure its continued success. As a permanent resident, you should begin to learn about this country, its people, and its responsibilities as a new immigrant, to understand how U.S. federal, state, and local governments work, and to learn how important historical events have shaped the United States.

身为永久居民, 您有权利可以:

  • Live and work permanently anywhere in the U.S.
  • Apply to become a U.S.citizen once you are eligible.
  • Request visas for your husband or wife and unmarried children to live in the U.S.
  • Get Social Security, Supplemental Security Income, and Medicare benefits if eligible.
  • Own property in the U.S.
  • Apply for a driver’s license in your state or territory.
  • 在特定的情况下离开和返回美国。 (回美证,仅限条件性绿卡持有者 )
  • Attend public school and college.
  • Join certain branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.

身为永久居民, 你的责任是:

  • Obey all federal, state, and local laws.
  • Pay federal, state, and local income taxes.
  • 如果您是 18 到 26 岁之间的男性的话,需向“兵役登记局”(美国国军) 登记。
  • Maintain your immigration status.
  • 随身携带您的永久居民身分证件。
  • Change your address online or in writing to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) within 10 days of each time you move.
  • 绿卡 申请更换和更新。
  • 在美国境外待超过 12 个月的话, 需要办理特定手续才能再入境美国。
  • Expected to support the democratic form of government and not to change the government through illegal means

 

维持您的永久居民身分:

要维持永久居民身分,有几件事您务必要注意。如果您将来计划申请美 国公民身份的话,记住这些事也很重要:

  1. 不要长期离开美国,或搬到另外一个国家去永久居住。
  2. 申报联邦和州所得税,以及地方所得税(若适用)。
  3. 如果您是18 到26 岁之间的男性的话,需要向“兵役登记局”登记。
  4. 将您的新地址提供给 DHS。

长期离开美国、或无法显示其长久居住在美国意图的永久居民可能会失去其永久居民身分。很多移民以为只要一年回美国一次,就可以在国外长期居住,这是不正确的。如果您认为您会离开美国超过12 个月的时间,就应该在离开美国前先申请[再入境许可]。您应该申报“申请旅行文件”(Application for a Travel Document)。 [再入境许可] 的有效期限最长为两年。您在入关时可以出示[再入境许可] 而非签证或永久居民卡。持有[再入境许可] 并不保证您在返美时能够入境,但是却较容易显示您是从短​​期出国返回美国。详情请登陆移民局网站http://uscis.gov, 或联系我公司获取更详细的免费资讯。
