How does immigration affect children’s school experience?

No matter how old you are, immigrating to a new country can present many unique challenges and experiences. Because you and your family are adjusting to life in Florida and working toward becoming US citizens, you may be looking for ways to help your children to feel empowered, optimistic and excited about their future.

One experience that your children will begin right away is school. Depending on how familiar they are with the English language, it may take them some time to feel confident communicating with their peers and teachers. Because the educational system in the United States may vary from that of your home country, your children may need added support to fulfill their assignments and understand the purpose of various tests that are given.

According to an article released by the Harvard Graduate School of Education, during your quest to find an educational facility that respects and embraces your child’s culture, it would benefit you to look for a place that emphasizes the asset that having a diverse student body can bring. You should also look for teachers who are respectful of cultural differences and have employed unique strategies for instructing students to account for the fact that immigrant children will learn differently than a student that has been born and raised in the American culture.

School districts that recognize that your family is one of many immigrant families and are actively implementing ways to help your children succeed, may also provide additional resources that you and other parents can use to help your children excel outside of their formal schooling education. The information in this article is intended for educational purposes only and should not be taken as legal advice.

First, you must be eligible for naturalization in the first place. There are a few requirements you will need to hit. This includes:

  • Being at least 18 years old
  • Being able to speak and understand English
  • Having good moral character
  • Being a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. for at least 5 years before you apply for naturalization
  • Be physically present in the country for at least 5 years before applying

If you hit all of these criteria points, then you may be eligible for naturalization. After that comes applying. This can be difficult in and of itself, due to how many steps there are in the application process.

First, you complete the application. You must have all necessary documents collected and must turn it in with a photograph. Next, remember to get fingerprints taken. This involves making an appointment. Officials may request more documentation. After this, you will get your interview and test. If officials grant you naturalization, you must then take the oath of allegiance.

What are the types of work visas?

Are you an immigrant looking into working in Florida? If so, you will need to get a work visa. This will allow you to legally stay in the country and work for pay. There are many different types of work visas. Today, we will take a look at them. 

The U.S. Department of State gives a run-down of employment-based immigration visas. You will want to look into these if you intend on working in the country. They are necessary if you intend to stay more than several months. 

You can divide work visas into three categories. They are: 

  • Outstanding researchers and professionals 
  • People with extraordinary ability and 
  • Multinational executives or managers 

Outstanding researchers and professionals must be internationally recognized. They should have at least three years of experience with research or teaching. Persons with extraordinary abilities can apply to any number of fields. It can include business, arts, sciences, education or athletics. For example, a traveling pop star would fall under this category. So would a famous athlete. Multinational executives or managers must have one to three years of employment under their belt. They must have worked as a manager or executive, and the position they apply for must be the same. 

There are also work visas that cover medical professionals. Particularly, if an area is having a health crisis and do not have enough care providers, nurses can travel under a specific visa. Likewise, religious figures also have their own visa category. Some visa applicants get priority over the others, but all of these visa types are valid for use.
