Secure a US Green Card for your whole family with $500,000?
“No educational requirements, no English proficiency requirements, no management experience needed, the lowest threshold…”
Is this an immigration program for a small country? No, it is the United States. At first glance, it sounds like a fantasy.
This US investment immigration program, known as “EB-5,” began to boom after the financial crisis and has now become the most popular choice for many Chinese citizens. With the “September 30” deadline approaching, recent US investment immigration applications have shown a surge.
In the first quarter of 2012, the number of US EB-5 investment immigration applications hit a record high. According to the latest data from the US Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), 1,293 families worldwide submitted immigration applications in the first quarter of 2012, a figure that once again set a new record. The approval rates for I-526 and I-829 in the first quarter were also higher than the figures for the same period last year.
In recent years, the United States has become the preferred immigration destination for many successful individuals in China. However, the inherent investment risks associated with US investment immigration have made many hesitant; the failure of some projects in 2011 and news in early 2012 regarding the US government's pursuit of tax arrears from immigrants have also deepened applicants' concerns to some extent. Industry insiders once predicted that the number of applications in the first quarter of 2012 would see its first decline in five years. The release of the first-quarter figures by the US immigration authorities shows that even after countries around the world have generally raised their investment immigration requirements, the United States remains highly attractive to investment immigration applicants. The American Immigration Lawyers Association also believes that the release of this data is very helpful in boosting the confidence of Chinese applicants. The increase in the application approval rate in the first quarter also reflects, to some extent, an open attitude by the US immigration authorities during the review process. It is worth noting that the New York municipal redevelopment project and the Florida municipal center construction project even received faster-than-expected approvals. In this regard, the American Immigration Lawyers Association believes that high-quality projects remain the primary factor in determining whether an immigration applicant can obtain approval.
Recently, the Washington Metropolitan Plaza Phase II project launched by Worldway has been favored by many Chinese investors because this project has many advantages that other EB-5 projects cannot match: “Neighboring the White House, just one mile away; the only key infrastructure EB-5 project specially approved by Obama; the only EB-5 project that can be queried on the White House website. The first phase of the project has already been successful, with the first batch of applicants 100% approved. This project can create 2,394 jobs, and the jobs created can be verified on the White House website, which is 2.6 times the requirement of the immigration authorities. It is the real estate EB-5 project with the highest employment multiplier, which can fully meet the immigration authorities' requirements for removing conditions on the green card, guaranteeing a green card for the whole family.” Investors interested in immigrating to the United States are encouraged to seize the opportunity and choose good projects.
