The United States attracts visitors and immigrants from all over the globe. Some come for work, some come for freedom, and some come to be reunited with family. In 2014, immigrants accounted for 13.3 percent of the U.S. population and 17 percent of the workforce, the Migration Policy Institute reports. Immigrating to Nebraska can be a rewarding experience if an immigrant goes through the process of legal immigration.
The foreign-born population of Nebraska stands at 6.7 percent which equates to 125,400 immigrants. Over 31 percent of foreign-born residents are naturalized citizens, who went through the arduous task of immigrating to the U.S. with authorization.
All immigrants who want to work or visit the U.S. needs to enter with authorization, or they are breaking U.S. laws. That means if they are discovered, an undocumented immigrant can be deported and jeopardize any future chances of legal immigration. USAttorneys recommends you speak with an immigration attorney before you decide to enter the U.S. without authorization.
All U.S. visas issued for work or travel are either immigrant visas or nonimmigrant visas. The type of visa an immigrant applies for depends on their reason for going to Nebraska and how long they plan on being in the state. Immigrant (permanent) visas are for immigration to the U.S. and a nonimmigrant (temporary) visa depending on how long an applicant wants to stay in the U.S.
Immigrants can visit the State Department website to see a comprehensive list of immigrant and nonimmigrant visas.
Asylum-People across the world must flee their homes because war or violence make their native countries unlivable and puts them in personal danger. After an extensive vetting process, refugees who face persecution or live in a dangerous place may be granted asylum and allowed to come to the U.S.
