Yunding Ranch

Chapter 88 Change of residence permit
In the morning, Lu Li was woken up by the noise of arguing next door, which reminded him that this is New York, not a ranch.Some are uncomfortable, but also some nostalgia.

The walls of most apartments here in New York are very thin - of course not referring to the rich and wealthy living in the Upper East Side, this area of ​​Greenwich Village where Lu Li lives is the same.Sometimes, lying on the bed, you can hear the whispers next door, and even the private love between lovers can capture a few words. megaphone.

Accustomed to the tranquility and peace of the ranch, every morning is awakened by the warm sunshine to wake up a relaxing sleep; now feeling the... New York's vitality again, Lu Li seriously began to think about a question: If he would come back to New York often in the future, what should he do? Where to rent the apartment?

After all, Lu Li has lived in New York for four years, so he has a very special feeling for this city. What's more, the ranch is a town in the countryside after all, and some things must be found in big cities, and with the existence of the "New York Observer", It is foreseeable that Lu Li will come back often in the future - although geographically speaking, it is much more convenient to go to Los Angeles from Texas, and to come to New York to cross more than half of North America, but the memories of the past four years are all here , Lu Li's past life is also here.

This is a question that requires serious consideration.

"...I told you that the milk has expired, it must be thrown away..."

"But why can't you throw it away yourself? Why do I have to throw it away? If you know it's past its expiration date and it's left in the fridge, then whose fault is it anyway?"

"Jesus Christ, I just asked you to throw a piece of trash. What else have you done? You still shirk?"

"Mom, I have a stomachache."

……

The neighbors' quarrel sounded like a mess, Lu Li sat up straight.It was past eleven o'clock when I got home last night, and I went to bed much later than the ranch, but the biological clock still got up on time in the morning. He woke up once at seven o'clock, but he thought he could be lazy again today, so he went to Sleep a little longer.Now, hearing the noise next door meant that he should get up.

After washing up and changing a set of clothes, Lu Li left the apartment - his two roommates were still sleeping.

Houses in New York are too expensive for one person to afford, so shared renting is the norm for college students; moreover, Americans do not insist on "settling down", and often set up a house every six months or nine months, and are very keen on it. this.In the past four years, Lu Li's roommates have been changed at least six times, and those who live there for a short period of time are not counted. Even Lu Li himself has moved twice.

The two current roommates both moved in before Christmas last year. They are freshmen and party all day long.Half a year has passed, and the number of times Lu Li met them can be counted on one hand - three times.

Apparently, the two young people had another night of carnival last night, and the quarrel of the neighbors next door was like a lullaby to them.

Lu Li drove out habitually, and was blocked on the road after a block - this place is only a few blocks away from Soho in the XC area, and the rush hour is the most crowded time every day, Lu Li couldn't help laughing, Apparently he was used to staying in the ranch, he completely forgot about the morning rush hour, he should choose the subway.But now it was too late to regret, so he simply turned on the radio, listened to music, and slowly swayed towards his destination.

He is going to the law firm of Will, Gaucher and Mangers today to visit Mark Foster and inquire about the green card application.Before the transfer of inheritance and the payment of inheritance tax were all handled by Mark, it was clean and clear at a glance, and then Lu Li also entrusted Mark with the green card.

When he arrived at the law firm, it was already early ten o'clock. He was stuck on the road for more than six or ten minutes. If he took the subway, it would only take a few stops; Only then did I find a parking space, and Wall Street is extremely crowded at this time of day.

Lu Li deeply missed Austin, where he could find a parking space anytime, anywhere.

The beauty at the front desk actually changed, not the blond beauty from the previous two visits, but a tall black-haired lady, not beautiful, but with a cool demeanor, she looks like Nordic descent .Led by her, Lu Li came to Mark's office door with familiarity.

After opening the door and entering, he saw Mark who was on the phone. He smiled at Lu Li and motioned Lu Li to sit down, but the phone didn't hang up. I'll send it to you...Okay, okay. I have to hang up now, and we'll talk later." After quickly finishing the matter in hand, Mark stretched out his right hand towards Lu Li, "Long time no see."

Lu Li shook Mark's hand and said with a smile, "Time does fly by so fast, but in a different way." The fast time in New York is full of busyness, while the fast time in Texas is full of immersion in life. Ignore, unknowingly, time just goes by like this.

"Looks like you're doing well there." Mark sat down again. "Where's the ranch, Texas?"

"New Braunfels." Lu Li's answer made Mark nod repeatedly, "Yes, yes, New Braunfels, a small town next to Austin."

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Mark directly cut to the topic. The lawyer’s fee is calculated by the hour, and they don’t have time to chat, “Are you here to talk about the green card today? All your materials have been passed by the Immigration Bureau. For the review, you still need to add some materials, and if there is no accident, your green card can be issued before August."

Lu Li thought there were some twists and turns, but unexpectedly, Mark gave the good news directly, "Have you got your green card?"

"It hasn't come down yet, it just meets the standards. According to the regulations, it is best for an investor immigrant to create a company and hire ten employees. But the ranch is special, and a large ranch that needs ten cowboys doesn't need to apply for a green card, right? ?” Mark looked in a good mood, and made a little joke, although it didn’t sound funny at all, “After review, the ranch needs to hire four cowboys, which is enough. You need to fax me the employment contract, and then , I will enter the declaration stage and go through the formal tax payment procedures, and the rest will be fine, just wait quietly for your green card to be approved."

Sure enough, there is still money to do things.

If according to Lu Li's original plan, find a job, and then the employer will apply for it, not to mention whether the employer is willing to sell - many companies are not willing to change from student visa to work visa, and then to green card application, the procedures are too complicated. Too much trouble, even if they want to, it will take a long time to apply for labor immigration. The current benchmark for queuing time is five years.

Now, before Lu Li even got his graduation certificate, the green card is already in sight.

"So, are there any precautions?" Lu Li thought that there would be a series of cumbersome procedures today, but he didn't expect it to be so simple.

Mark thought about it seriously, "It's best not to change your employees frequently in a short period of time. If possible, you can hire more employees in the future to increase your persuasiveness."

After all, the green card is still not available, at least three months away.What's more, even if the green card is obtained, there is still a two-year probationary period-this is somewhat similar to the marriage green card. When the marriage green card is just approved, it is only valid for two years. After two years, the green card can be converted into a formal green card after passing the review.The same is true for investing in a green card. There is a probationary period after the application is made to avoid the fraudulent behavior of someone deliberately setting up a company and closing the company after obtaining the green card. Once the immigration bureau discovers illegal fraud, the green card can be canceled at any time.

"No problem." Lu Li simply nodded and agreed. A green card is actually a long-term residence permit. Even if you don't become an American citizen, you can still enjoy the same basic rights as American citizens. In the simplest and most direct way, Lu Li can buy firearms.Of course, the benefits are still different.

"After all the tax filing procedures are completed, you'd better hire a professional accountant, which is very much needed in the United States." Mark kindly gave his professional advice, "Besides, if you have other problems later, Feel free to call me anytime."

Lu Li couldn't help laughing, "Don't worry, your phone number is always in my emergency contact list, 'you'd better call Mark'." This ridicule full of American humor successfully made Mark laugh.

In the United States, lawyers are undoubtedly a very special existence, and almost anything can be related to lawyers. After the classic series "Breaking Bad" ended, a spinoff drama "Feng/Sao Lawyer" was born. The English title is "Better Call Saul", which shows the importance of lawyers to people's lives. importance.

"Is everything settled down now?" Mark glanced at the time and chatted.

Lu Li withdrew his smile, "Very well, everything is fine, I'm gradually getting used to it, the pace of life there is much slower than here, I think it's a good thing." With a flash of inspiration, he said, "In the future , if you need to relax, welcome to the ranch, believe me, a short vacation will double your work efficiency. I just finished my graduation thesis."

Mark looked at Lu Li seriously, "Are you trying to solicit business for the ranch now?"

"It seems that I'm still not very proficient in business." Lu Li's frankness made Mark smile again, "Next, the ranch may want to start a resort business, and it's just started. So, if there is a chance, you are welcome to come. "

Mark nodded with a smile, sat up straight, with a look of appreciation in his eyes, "Very good, this kind of spirit is very good, I'm sure, your green card can be approved."

　The ranch will go to Sanjiang this week. Thank you for your support. I hope everyone will vote for Sanjiang to support it!Thanks!
