In 2013, the global immigrant population reached 232 million, accounting for 4.2% of the world's total population, an increase of 18 million from 214 million in 2010, and an increase of 37 million from 195 million in 2005. From 2000 to 2013, the average annual growth rate of the immigrant population was 2.2%.
The United States is one of the countries with a large immigrant population, with approximately one in five immigrants residing in the U.S. As of 2012, the total number of immigrants in the United States reached 45.785 million. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the total number of foreign-born immigrants living in the United States in 2011 was 40.378 million, of which 2.231 million were immigrants from mainland China and Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, accounting for 5.5% of the total immigrant population, making them the largest Asian group in the United States. China has become the second largest source country of overseas immigrants to the United States, after Mexico.
The United States is also the preferred destination for Chinese overseas immigrants. In 2012, the number of individuals from China who obtained U.S. permanent residency visas was 81,784, accounting for 7.9% of the total permanent residency visas. Among them, 20,463 individuals obtained economic immigration visas, accounting for 14.2% of the total economic immigration visas issued in the U.S. Among economic immigrants, 6,124 individuals obtained conditional investment immigrant "green cards," accounting for 80.1% of the total number of conditional investment immigrant "green cards" issued in the U.S. that year. Data released by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services indicated that in 2013, over three-quarters of the investment immigrant visas issued in the U.S. were granted to Chinese applicants.
Meanwhile, immigration is no longer a zero-sum game; it can benefit both the sending and receiving countries. Taking the EB-5 category, which is highly favored by Chinese investors, as an example, the EB-5 investment immigration program has attracted significant investment to the U.S. and created numerous job opportunities, thus the EB-5 program is likely to continue as a long-term policy in the United States. However, with the surge in applications, the EB-5 visa quota has tightened, and the U.S. immigration authorities have recently strengthened internal review mechanisms, leading to increasingly prolonged EB-5 approval times, which has become an irreversible fact. Additionally, influenced by the tightening of investment immigration policies in countries like Canada and Australia, a price increase for U.S. investment immigration is also inevitable.
Against this backdrop, the industry has recently seen a phenomenon where high-quality EB-5 projects are "hard to come by" and sell out quickly. As a leading institution in domestic U.S. investment immigration, WorldWay has professional selection capabilities and has accumulated a wealth of successful cases, with many projects being highly sought after by investors. Recently, WorldWay launched the "Krock City Square Expansion Project" with a low investment ratio, high job multiplier, and dual repayment guarantees, and the nationwide tour briefing sessions are in high demand, with the reservation hotline 400-138-2929
