>혹자는 "EIC" 은 정부보조이기 때문에 받으면 영주권에 지장이 있다고 하고

("세금환급"을 "EIC"로 바꿨습니다. 문맥에 맞추기 위해..)

그 "혹자"가 잘 모르는 분인가봅니다. 아래 링크로 가 보십시요.

여기에 분명히 나와있습니다.

Many legal immigrants who are employed can get

the EIC.The changes in federal law in 1996 that

denied public benefits such as food stamps and

SSI to many legal immigrants did not apply to

the EIC.

(중략)

The EIC does not create “public charge” problems

for immigrant workers. Receiving the EIC is

not considered an indication that the immigrant

is unable to support him- or herself financially.
