What are the advantages for visiting scholars to have children in the United States?
After going to the United States to give birth, she took her baby back to live in China. She has no plans to immigrate in the future, so is it worth it to go to the United States to give birth? In fact, the first thing that the mother thought of was that Meibao (a baby born in the United States) would have to borrow tuition fees to study after returning to China. , the first thing that comes to mind is a large expense, but in fact this is not the case. It is a wrong thinking to associate the mother's birth with MEBO with immigration. The biggest advantage of going to the United States to give birth to her child is that it not only gives MEBO an extra choice, but also provides her with more options no matter whether she lives in China or goes there in the future. When you grow up and live in the United States, it's a matter of having the best of both worlds. Why is it said that both sides have the advantage?
1. In the compulsory education stage
MEBO can attend a good school without being restricted by school district housing. For example, Shanghai city regulations stipulate that only the 150 relatively outstanding primary and secondary schools are qualified to accept foreign students. With the rental contract, the children of overseas Chinese can go to school nearby and enter ordinary classes under the arrangement of the district education committee. You don't have to buy a house in a school district to get into a good school. Compared with our Chinese students, whose parents spend millions to buy a house in a school district to get into a good school, the advantages are clearly reflected. As a child of overseas Chinese, Meibao can enjoy China's nine-year compulsory education, so it is not necessary to go to an international school. In cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Nanjing, MEBO can be exempted from borrowing fees as long as it attends a public school in the jurisdiction of the parents' registered residence. For example, Beijing Municipal Education Bureau clearly stipulates: If one parent has a Beijing household registration, and the child is of foreign nationality, a relationship certificate must be issued in the street where the parent's household registration is located, and then he or she can apply for admission to the designated school where the household registration is located. He or she will be treated the same as Beijing students. This It’s really cost-effective for MEBO, which can be regarded as MEBO’s core advantage.
2. In the non-compulsory education stage
When going to kindergarten, there is no difference between MEBO and Chinese students. The fees and treatment are the same for private schools. Some well-known kindergartens even only accept children of foreign nationality. The most typical example is the famous movie star Dong Jie who was turned away by the security when looking for a kindergarten because her child was not of foreign nationality. At this time, our mothers probably hated themselves. Why didn’t you give your children a foreign nationality? Now that you have an opportunity to give your children American citizenship, moms, please don’t give up easily, otherwise you will regret it in the future.
During the college entrance examination, as a child of overseas Chinese, MEBO can take the college entrance examination specially prepared for overseas Chinese, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan candidates. Not only is the test paper simple, the admission threshold is much lower than that of Chinese students, and the tuition fee is not much different from that of Chinese students (the Ministry of Education stipulates that the upper limit is 1.2 million/year). If MEBO goes to junior high school in China and then goes to high school overseas for 3 years (Singapore, the United States, New Zealand, Australia, etc.), he will be able to take advantage of being admitted to prestigious Chinese schools as an overseas student and can easily take the exam. Tsinghua , Peking University , Fudan and other first-class universities. This is one of the reasons why many people go to great lengths to immigrate for their children to Central and South America and Caribbean island countries that cannot be found on the map. Mom, let’s take a look at the booming immigration wave for college entrance examinations in recent years. At this time, the mother probably hated herself even more for failing to live up to expectations. Why couldn't she get a foreign passport for her child earlier?
3. The benefits of MEBO living in the United States
1. Compared with international students, it can save a lot of tuition fees
If MEBO studied in high school in the United States and went to a public university in the state , if he meets the requirements of this week's residents, he will be a state resident. The tuition fee for domestic students is only 1/3 of that for international students, and the cost of studying abroad is also greatly reduced. MEBO’s proof of residence in the state, such as the rental contract, utility and gas payment receipts, etc., all prove that MEBA is living in the state, and it can be regarded as a resident of the state and can enjoy the tuition discount.
2. Eliminate the trouble of work visa and stay in the United States easily
If a Chinese student goes to study in the United States, he must first choose a good major in an excellent American university. After several years of hard study, he will have excellent grades; only after graduation can he find a good job. , can you apply for an H1 visa to stay in the United States; after a few years of wandering, you can get a green card, and then wait a few more years to get American citizenship. This process is quite arduous and long. As for our Meibao, he is an American citizen by birth. Even if his grades are not top-notch, he goes to an ordinary university in the United States, and he has American status, then there is no problem for him to stay in the United States and find a job. You don’t have to work so hard.
We cannot assume that our children can be that good, nor do we want them to work so hard, so we create conditions for our children and give him/her an American citizenship so that his/her future can be easier because of our paving the way. A little higher and broader.
