Abstract: According to a survey by Bank of China Private Banking, the United States is not only the top immigration destination for wealthy Chinese but also a highly favored country for overseas investment, accounting for 42% of the wealthy Chinese surveyed. Following that, the preferred overseas investment destinations for wealthy Chinese are Hong Kong (China), Canada, and Singapore, accounting for 38%, 23%, and 12% respectively.
In recent years, an increasing number of Chinese have chosen to emigrate, forming China's third wave of immigration. This wave is characterized by: the newly affluent group becoming the main body of immigrants; a large volume and rapid growth rate of applications; many immigrants being social elites and successful individuals; the immigration wave being accompanied by the transfer of significant social wealth abroad; "emigrating without moving house, moving family without changing business"; and wealthy individuals having a strong motivation to "proactively seek asylum," with the United States as the top choice. Worldway experts state: The greatest advantage of U.S. investment immigration is its relatively low threshold. The U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program requires applicants to possess legitimate assets of $500,000 or more and invest $500,000 into a USCIS-approved project, with the principal returned after five years, or to invest $1 million directly in the U.S. This is more acceptable compared to the UK's "£1.05 million full investment" route (or paying a one-time £190,000 loan interest while holding proof of £2 million in net assets under the individual or spouse's name), requires no business or management background from the applicant, and allows for gifts and inheritance.
As a major nation of immigrants, the United States attaches great importance to the promotion of immigrants and immigrant culture. Recently, the New York City Mayor's Office of Immigrant Affairs announced on the 6th that during the 9th Immigrant Heritage Week from the 17th to the 24th, the city government will host an immigration-themed film festival to showcase the contributions of immigrants to the United States and introduce their diverse cultures and the history of American immigration. During this period, five immigration-themed documentaries will be screened at various locations across New York's five boroughs, with "The Apple Pushers," directed by American filmmaker Mary Mazzio, being the most prominent. This is a documentary that integrates healthy eating, immigrant life, and entertainment, telling the story of new immigrants from around the world selling fruits and vegetables on the streets of New York. The film praises these vendors for bringing fresh produce to every corner of New York, helping people eat healthier. Some politicians, as well as immigration and nutritional experts, have held special seminars to discuss the social issues addressed in the film. The New York City government has been hosting Immigrant Heritage Week since 2004, aiming to increase the general American public's understanding of immigrant culture, promote community harmony, and reduce discrimination and violence through various annual activities.
The United States is inherently an immigrant nation; its multi-racial and multi-ethnic nature determines its cultural diversity and inclusivity. Consequently, people often compare the U.S. to a cultural "melting pot," making it easier for foreign immigrants to integrate into American society compared to other countries. For those looking to immigrate through investment, the U.S. EB-5 visa, established in 1990, is the most convenient immigration channel with the fewest restrictions and the shortest review time, often referred to as the "fast track for immigration." As the first immigration agency in China to promote U.S. EB-5 projects, Worldway maintains close communication and cooperation with U.S. political figures, immigration lawyers, and financial institutions. Through Worldway, clients can receive services from the most authoritative experts and stay updated in real-time with policies and news related to U.S. immigration. Since pioneering the promotion of U.S. EB-5 programs in 2006, the company has successively secured lead agency roles for regional centers in Los Angeles, Southeast Los Angeles, South Dakota, Idaho, Northern California, California Energy, Washington, etc. It was the first to adopt the third-generation employment model and insurance company coverage for 100% return of principal, becoming a leader in the U.S. investment immigration industry. Upholding a philosophy of professional, efficient, honest, and fast service, the company has helped thousands of people successfully immigrate to the U.S. Each carefully selected U.S. EB-5 project has sparked a wave of interest in the investment immigration industry. Recently, the Washington Metropolitan Plaza Phase II project launched by Worldway has also been highly favored by Chinese investors.
