Layoff wave exposes weaknesses in staying in the U.S., EB-5 becomes the trump card for status!
An offer letter was once regarded by many families as an entry ticket for their children to remain in the United States.

In the past, many families were accustomed to planning their children's development in the U.S. along a clear route: F-1 study → OPT internship → H-1B lottery → employer-sponsored green card. But now, factors such as layoffs at large companies, AI substitution, organizational restructuring, cost control, and shrinking recruitment are continuously impacting this path.

Why do high-net-worth families favor Panama status?
