July 5, 2014, during the U.S. Independence Day holiday, U.S. Congressman Joe Garcia met with the visiting President of Worldway Immigration Group, Dr. Winner Xing, and his delegation in the beautiful U.S. coastal city of Miami. Congressman Joe Garcia is a supporter and promoter of U.S. immigration reform and holds significant influence in the U.S. House of Representatives. This meeting with the President of Worldway Immigration Group marked the first time Congressman Joe Garcia has held talks with a representative from a Chinese immigration agency. Following the meeting, both parties enjoyed lunch in a relaxed and pleasant atmosphere.

Dr. Winner Xing, President of Worldway Immigration Group, introduced to Congressman Joe Garcia the situation regarding Worldway's promotion of U.S. EB-5 investment projects in China since 2006, as well as how Worldway took the lead in 2009 in proposing that U.S. EB-5 investment immigration enter the era of "selected projects," thereby driving the Chinese investment immigration sector to focus on the selection of U.S. investment immigration projects and promoting the healthy development of U.S. investment immigration in China. At the same time, Dr. Winner Xing also introduced to Congressman Joe Garcia the achievements Worldway Immigration Group has made in recent years in promoting U.S. EB-5 bond projects and renewable energy projects. Before the meeting, Congressman Joe Garcia was already aware of the significant achievements made by Worldway Group in promoting EB-5 projects, as well as the outstanding performance of Worldway's documentation team. Congressman Joe Garcia praised and affirmed the achievements made by Worldway in the field of U.S. EB-5 investment immigration.
Joe Garcia is very interested in EB-5 bond projects. He believes that bonds are a highly transparent and more standardized financing method, especially the way U.S. governments at all levels issue U.S. EB-5 investment immigration bonds to attract investors and raise funds for urban infrastructure construction. This is a very good method and is of great benefit to stimulating the U.S. economy and employment. Congressman Joe Garcia discussed this with several other congressmen and they unanimously agreed that the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration project using bond issuance for financing is a very good approach, and the U.S. Congress, as the U.S. legislative body, will support EB-5 bond projects.
Joe Garcia expressed his gratitude for the efforts made by Worldway in actively promoting EB-5 financing through bonds in the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration field in recent years, and affirmed the achievements made. Congressman Joe Garcia has always been an active promoter of U.S. immigration reform. He believes that the current 10,000 EB-5 visa quota is far from meeting the needs of U.S. investment immigrants. Although there is still resistance in the House of Representatives to the immigration policy reform bills proposed by the Senate last year, and it is a sensitive issue that political parties are both concerned about and afraid to get too involved in due to election competition, he believes that EB-5 investment is clearly of great help to the U.S. economy and employment. Therefore, both the Senate and the House of Representatives will provide support, and U.S. immigration reform will eventually develop in a positive direction.
This was the first time Congressman Joe Garcia met with a representative of a Chinese immigration company. At a time when U.S. immigration policy reform has become a sensitive topic, this is a very meaningful event. This is another heavyweight and influential U.S. Congressman meeting with the President of Worldway after the 2011 meeting between U.S. Congresswoman Judy Chu and Dr. Winner Xing, President of Worldway Group, which fully demonstrates the importance the U.S. Congress attaches to EB-5 investment immigration.

At the end of the talks, Congressman Joe Garcia warmly invited Dr. Winner Xing, President of Worldway, and his delegation to visit the U.S. Congress in Washington, and President Winner Xing gladly accepted the invitation. Congressman Joe Garcia also gladly accepted the invitation from Dr. Winner Xing to have the opportunity to visit China and introduce the EB-5 bill and the trends and direction of U.S. immigration reform to the vast number of Chinese investors.
