United States: immigration policy, education, living, property and more.
Major Shift! U.S. Employment-Based Immigration May Eliminate 7% Per-Country Quota
Recently, the U.S. immigration landscape reached a critical turning point as Markwayne Mullin was officially sworn in as the U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security. A pragmatic politician who has long supported high-skilled immigration and advocated for a "merit-based" approach, he not only succeeds his predecessor, Kristi Noem, but may also become a "key figure" in driving reform of U.S. legal immigration policy.
Another State Tightens H-1B Pathways: How Can Families in the U.S. Break Through?
For many international talents harboring the "American Dream," the H-1B work visa was once a core bridge to developing a career in the United States. However, this bridge is becoming increasingly narrow and unstable. Recently, a new proposal in Iowa has once again pushed the tightening trend of H-1B visas to the forefront, with the higher education sector becoming a major disaster area in this "encirclement" campaign. Iowa Takes Action: Further Escalation of H-1B Restrictions in Higher Education. On April 10, local time, it was reported that a proposal in Iowa aimed at restricting the hiring of certain foreign workers by universities (House Bill 2513) is progressing rapidly in the state legislature. The bill prohibits public universities, community colleges, and certain private institutions in Iowa from entering into new employment contracts with individuals who hold H-1B visas and originate from "foreign adversaries" or "state sponsors of terrorism" as designated by the U.S. government.
Why Is Time of the Essence for EB-5 Immigration Right Now?
Recently, many investors have been asking the same question: Is it still too late to start an EB-5 investment immigration process? The answer is: It is not too late, but the window is rapidly narrowing. The countdown to the grandfathering provision has begun: A critical juncture for locking in certainty. The core focus for EB-5 currently is the grandfathering provision. According to the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, as long as an investor files their I-526E petition before September 30, 2026, their application will continue to be processed under the rules in effect at the time of filing, even if EB-5 laws change in the future. This is not just a deadline; it is a valuable window to lock in policy certainty. Once missed, investors will face multiple uncertainties.
How much longer can H-1B last? The answer may be more severe than you think
For many tech professionals in the United States, the spring of 2026 has been a bone-chilling winter. There is no sign of the wave of layoffs at U.S. tech companies slowing down. Behind the cold numbers on the layoff lists of giants like Meta and Oracle are individual H-1B holders and their families. Even more distressing is that since the beginning of 2026, the global tech industry has seen nearly 80,000 layoffs, with over 76% occurring in the United States.

PeachTree Group, Partnering with Worldway for the Fourth Time, Makes Headlines in International Media: What Are They Doing Right?
As the U.S. commercial real estate market enters a new cycle of deep divergence, what truly deserves the attention of investors is not just a specific project, but whether the fund manager behind the project possesses the professional judgment to navigate through cycles and truly understands the full-chain logic of commercial real estate. Why is the multi-billion dollar fund PeachTree Group worthy of focused attention? As CEO of the multi-billion dollar fund PeachTree Group, Greg Friedman has recently been frequently invited for interviews by major international financial media and professional U.S. industry platforms such as Bloomberg, Reuters, Schwab Network, and CoStar, consistently providing professional insights on core topics including commercial real estate, hotel investment, capital markets, and the interest rate environment.

Policy Alert for 'Anchor Babies': A Green Card is the Trump Card for Family Planning
On April 1, local time, the U.S. Supreme Court held oral arguments regarding the Trump administration's executive order to restrict birthright citizenship. President Trump himself attended the hearing, becoming the first sitting U.S. president in history to attend oral arguments at the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is expected to reach a final verdict by the end of June or early July this year. On the surface, this is a legal dispute surrounding the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which was established in 1868: 'All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.' However, for Chinese families, what is truly worth noting about this case is not whether Trump will win this time, but that it has once again exposed an increasingly realistic question: Is it still stable to bet the entire family's future on an 'anchor baby'?
