International student buying a house in the U.S.?

2009-09-05 4:04 pm

Hi, I am an international student from Hong Kong and holding a student visa with me. I am planning to buy a house in the washington state which cost about $200,000.

The reason I am buying the house is I really love this country and want to stay here forever. However, I am holding a student visa, does anyone know if I can get a green card if I buy a house and a car in the U.S?

If not, can you suggest me any other way for becoming a U.S green card holder?

Thanks very much

Buying a house and car in USA will NOT get you a green card.

The best way to go about this would be to study hard and get your qualification. Use this qualification to find work with an employer who would be willing to sponsor you for a permenant (or work) visa.

If I am correct, your study visa should also allow you to work a limited job while you study - try to find an employer in your area of study who would be willing to sponsor you for a working visa when your studying is over.

Alternatives are to start your own business that will open up jobs for American citizens. This can get you a green card. Also, if you invest (A LOT, and I mean A LOT) of money into an American business, this can also qualify you for a green card.
