1. My relative’s child has been studying in the United States illegally since he was a child. Has President Obama issued an amnesty recently? Answer: President Obama issued an executive order on June 15, 2012. Illegal immigrants under the age of 30 who meet certain conditions will be able to delay deportation for two years and apply for a work permit. Upon expiration, they can also apply for an extension. Applicants must meet the following conditions: 1. Must come to the United States before the age of 16. 2. You were in the United States on June 15, 2012, and have been living in the United States continuously for 5 years. 3. The person is currently in school, or has graduated from high school, or has obtained a high school equivalent degree, or has served in the military. 4. The person has not been convicted of a felony, a serious misdemeanor, or multiple misdemeanors, and has not been a threat to state secrets or public security. 5. Current age is 15 to 30 years old. This is very good news for many people who have been studying and living in the United States since childhood, but are worried about being deported because they have no legal status.

Those who meet the above conditions will not only not be deported, but can also apply for a work permit. At present, the Immigration Bureau has not announced detailed application methods, and it is expected to be announced and implemented within 60 days. Do not report to the Immigration Bureau yet to avoid having your illegal status exposed.

2. My husband and I are now 75 years old. We have applied for the government’s Social Security Income (SSI) many years ago. When we applied, we owned a home together with our daughter. However, due to the poor economic situation in recent years, the local taxes, management fees, insurance premiums, etc. we have paid have increased significantly, and the SSI we received was reduced by more than 200 yuan (for two people) last year alone, so we feel very difficult. Therefore, we want to transfer part of the property we own to my daughter. Is this legal? If it is transferred to my daughter, will I lose my eligibility for benefits? Answer: Generally, it is a common legal procedure to transfer the property under your name to your son or daughter, and it should not cause other problems. The Social Security benefits you receive are benefits provided by the Social Security Bureau to the elderly, blind and disabled. Generally, to apply for social security subsidies, the applicant must have a limited income and assets, and the Social Security Bureau can investigate the applicant's financial situation. After you transfer the real estate to your daughter, there may be issues related to limited asset conditions. In fact, even if it is not a luxury property, it may be deemed by the Social Security Bureau to have sufficient assets and not qualify for social security benefits. You can contact the Social Security Bureau to discuss the actual situation.
