Known as the Land of Opportunity, the United States has been a major immigration destination in the world for many years, until in recent years it has declined due to anti-immigration policies. The country is still recognized as the most important destination for student migration in the world, which houses some of the most important universities in the world. Immigrating to the United States has become very difficult for Iranians in recent years, and currently the best way to immigrate to it is through a student visa.

It became difficult or impossible for Iranian citizens to obtain many US visas. Under such circumstances, the US student visa was one of the few visas that did not undergo new changes and after a while became the best way to immigrate to the US. With Biden winning the US presidential election, many people hoped that relations between the United States and Iran would improve. It seems that obtaining a US student visa in 2021 will be easier for Iranian students. On the other hand, the conditions caused by Corona led to the suspension of US visas and quarantines in 2020. With the start of 2022 and the distribution of the Corona vaccine in stages, it is hoped that the restrictions on US visas will be lifted and that Iranian citizens will be able to immigrate to the United States again.

Immigration to the United States has a long history, in fact more than 50 million people from around the world have immigrated to this country. From the first European immigrants in the seventeenth century to the present, the United States has been one of the major immigration destinations in the world. In fact, with the exception of a small Native American population, the main body of the American population is made up of immigrants and their children. About 20% of the world’s immigrant population now resides in the United States.

Such a large-scale immigration process, many believe, has led to various social, political, cultural and economic problems in the United States. Problems such as rising unemployment, crime, housing, changing voter turnout, and weakening national cohesion have led the US government to tighten its immigration policy. However, several studies have shown that the arrival of immigrants in this country has a positive impact on its economy, and in fact the crime rate among immigrants is lower than in the United States. Immigrating to the United States is more difficult than ever for Iranians these days, yet many applicants apply for immigration in various ways each year.

History of Immigration to the United States

The British were the first group to immigrate to the United States, in the 16th century about 400,000 people moved from Britain to the Americas, and half of them settled there forever. At the beginning of the eighteenth century, other European countries also traveled to the United States, and with the increase in population, finally in 1776, the United States officially gained independence from Britain. In the eighteenth century, the migration of Asians and Africans to the Americas increased, and this led to the introduction of anti-white immigration laws, some of which continued into the nineteenth century. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the population of immigrants to the United States had grown exponentially, and by the end of 1920, more than 13 million immigrants had settled in the country. After the end of World War II, immigration to the United States among Europeans and former Soviet satellites intensified again, with about 14 million people migrating to the country between 2010 and 2000 alone. With the inauguration of President Donald Trump, restrictions on the entry of citizens of Muslim countries such as Iran were tightened and immigration to the United States was reduced.

Economic structure

The United States is one of the most powerful economies in the world and the seventh largest in terms of GDP. According to a 2009 survey, the private sector accounted for about 86.4% of the US economy. Although the United States is in the post-industrial stage in terms of the degree of development, it is still recognized as one of the main industrial powers in the world. It is interesting to note that the United States is one of the few countries in the world that does not officially have paid leave, but it is the recruitment companies that make the laws. This means that some companies may offer 10 days of paid leave per year, while others may not recognize any paid leave. The same is true of family leave (paid maternity leave, for example), meaning that there is no formal law if the employer does not provide such a facility.

The United States has been a world leader in technology and scientific innovation since the 19th century. The rise of Hitler and Nazism during World War II led many geniuses, such as Albert Einstein, Enrico Fermi, and John von Neumann, to emigrate to the United States. Since then, one of the policies of the United States has been to attract elites from all over the world and to develop its technology. In fact, scientific innovations and research, in addition to the entertainment industry, form a major part of revenue.

Universities and the educational system

The United States is one of the countries that allocates significant funds for the education sector. Although general education laws are set by the Department of Education, each state can have its own laws. In most states, education begins at age 6-7 and continues through age 18. In addition to public high schools, students can attend private, boarding, religious, or specialized high schools (music high schools).

More than 80% of the population over the age of 25 in the United States has completed their high school education and more than 50% have continued their college education at the college level. Also, more than 27% of people have a bachelor’s degree and more than 9% of them have a postgraduate degree. The United States has a more prominent role in the list of the top 100 universities in the world than any other country in the world, so that 27 universities in this country are included in this list. In addition, in 2018, 21 Universitas selected the United States as the best country in the world in terms of the quality of higher education and scientific research. Such issues have made immigration to and study in the United States popular among students around the world.

Medical and welfare services

Health insurance in the United States is a combination of public and private insurance that is not publicly available, meaning that not all people in the country have access to it. In 2017, more than 12% of people were not covered by any health insurance. The two major US health care plans are Medicare (for people over 65) and Medicaid (for low-income people). It should be noted that about 58% of the country’s hospitals are non-profit, however, emergency examinations and tests are performed regardless of having insurance.

In the chart below, you can see the recipients of various types of insurance in this country according to the statistics of 2017 (numbers are in millions):

Political and social situation

The United States is a federal, representative republic, a central government with an executive branch (presidency) with 50 subordinate states. General international, defense, and domestic policies are regulated by the central government, but states also have relatively broad autonomy in legislating and enforcing judgments. The US system is also governed by a representative, with the two houses of the Senate and the House of Commons legislating and protecting the rights of the people. In addition, the judicial system of this country has the duty to supervise and deal with the two branches and, like them, enjoys complete independence.

The role of immigrants in the US economy

The issue of immigration in the United States has become a sensitive and challenging issue today. Many American policymakers have found that the presence of immigrants in this country is detrimental to cultural cohesion and that they have increased unemployment and crime in the United States. But in fact, economic and social studies have shown that immigrants are not only rapidly integrating into American society, but have also benefited financially. In other words, the immigrant population has had a positive impact on the US economy.

In the first place, it should be noted that immigrants, whether educated or skilled, have no effect on the wages and employment rates of indigenous peoples. In fact, over the last few decades, the presence of immigrants has not only allowed Indigenous people to be employed in higher-paying jobs, but also to be even more creative and innovative. On the other hand, the influx of immigrants has also helped keep America’s population young, in other words, although the general trend of Indigenous populations is aging and reaching retirement age, immigrants have been replaced as a new workforce by increasing economic productivity to the government. They help to raise more money for indigenous people to pay their pensions and disability benefits. In general, although Indigenous people pay more taxes and citizenship costs, economists believe that the presence of immigrants will benefit the US economy in the long run.

Decree banning the entry of Iranians

With the beginning of Trump’s presidency, the United States pursued anti-immigration policies against some countries. Trump issued several entry bans for various countries, all of which included Iran. Under the latest ban, issued in 2017 and known as 9645, Iranian citizens are barred from entering the United States on all visas except student visas. However, due to the legal problems of this decree, the US court has called it an illegal notification and there are still problems in its implementation. However, the request of many Iranians since 2017 has been rejected due to this decree. Of course, some people have been exempted from this order after the interview. This means that even after the issuance of this decree, the possibility of immigrating to the United States has not disappeared altogether and Iranian citizens will still have the chance to obtain a visa. However, immigration to this country has become very difficult and risky due to Trump’s third ban, which is why the Literary Immigration Group recommends to all esteemed applicants to prioritize immigration to countries such as Canada and Australia.
