Immigrants Have Long-lasting Benefits to U.S. Cities

Immigrants comprise 13.5 percent of the U.S. population today, the highest share in 106 years. "In addition to starting a new life in a wealthy country, they play a pivotal role in the nation's economy," tells USAFIS Organization.

In the late 19th century, the absolute number of immigrants in the country rose from less than 2.5 million in 1850 to more than 13.5 million in 1910. What is fantastic is that places that took in more immigrants in the 19th century still benefit economically from it, reported NYC-based Quartz news portal.

The Statue of Liberty has a plaque inside her pedestal that reads, “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, The wretched refuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me: I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

Applying for a Student Visa: USAFIS

One must be accepted by a United States college or university that is approved by the Student and Exchange Visitor Program (SEVP) before filing for a student visa.

Even though most educational institutions in the United States are already approved, check the list of current schools before beginning the application process. USAFIS is an independent company that helps foreign nationals with their immigration process.
