Against the backdrop of extended U.S. EB-5 investment immigration approval times, on October 18, Mr. Brian Su, Chairman of the U.S. EB-5 China Market Committee, led a delegation of over 10 members, including regional center representatives, project developers, and expert attorneys, to visit a leading Chinese immigration agency to discuss the development of the U.S. EB-5 program. Previously, the delegation visited the Beijing office of Worldway Immigration and held a U.S. EB-5 investment seminar. This marks the second time the delegation has visited the Worldway Group with a high-profile lineup, following their visit to the Shanghai office last year. This exchange also represents the future direction of the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration market in China.
The Artisan Group, led by Mr. Brian Su, is the only senior China market and legal advisor to the industry trade association for U.S. investment regional centers, "The Association to Invest in the USA" (IIUSA). It is a highly reputable, objective, and impartial independent third-party organization with significant authority in the selection of U.S. investment immigration projects. It has established long-term strategic cooperative relationships with dozens of U.S. regional centers, project developers, and the industry's most prestigious expert teams. It has been consistently recognized by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officials, regional centers, and immigration attorneys, and has successfully hosted the U.S. EB-5 Investment Immigration Summit multiple times.
At the seminar, the General Manager of the Beijing office welcomed the visiting EB-5 delegation and delivered an insightful speech. First, they expressed sincere gratitude to U.S. EB-5 partners for their strong support and kind care for Worldway over the years. They also reviewed how Worldway introduced the "Era of Project Selection" for U.S. investment immigration in 2009, with the "Three-Pass" criteria becoming a milestone for project selection. It was by upholding the "Three-Pass" banner that Worldway achieved the remarkable success of having ten U.S. EB-5 projects approved in the first nine months of 2013.
The General Manager of the Beijing office also stated: "The Chinese outbound market has seen significant development this year. In 2012, the number of Chinese outbound travelers was 83 million, and it is expected to reach 94 million in 2013, a year-on-year increase of 15%. Investment immigration is becoming a comprehensive service industry. Our exchange here today has extraordinary significance; by building a communication platform for U.S. EB-5 to enter the Chinese market, enhancing mutual understanding and cooperative linkage, we play a positive and huge role in promoting the standardized and healthy development of EB-5. We hope to work together to seek broader and better development space for Chinese people to realize their immigration dreams."
The Worldway Group recognized the outstanding contributions of the Artisan Group, led by Mr. Brian Su, Chairman of the U.S. EB-5 China Market Committee and President of the Artisan Group, in the field of U.S. investment immigration, and presented him with the "China-U.S. Cross-Border Investment Leadership Award." Mr. Brian Su also delivered a brilliant speech: "I am honored to receive this award from Worldway. We have always had a long-term friendly cooperation with Worldway. Dr. Xing, President of Worldway, is a recognized investment expert in the EB-5 field. Our long-term cooperation has made us fully feel that Worldway always puts client interests first, and through the 'Three-Pass' project selection standard, is committed to promoting stable EB-5 projects for investors to maximize the protection of investors' interests."
Mr. Brian Su stated, "For U.S. EB-5 projects to be successfully promoted in China, they need to cooperate with professional, experienced, rigorous, and attentive investment immigration agencies like Worldway. We hope that both sides will continue to maintain this cooperative relationship." Immediately following, Mr. Brian Su personally presented the "2013 Most Trusted Immigration Service Agency" award to the Worldway Group, acknowledging and thanking Worldway for its positive role in the promotion and marketing of U.S. EB-5 projects in China.
