WorldWay Immigration experts analyze: Most people immigrate to the United States not only for its superior living environment but also for its soft environment, such as the emphasis on self-actualization, the inclusiveness of American society, advanced educational and medical resources, and social welfare. To better enjoy the international educational resources, medical security system, and welfare in the United States, obtaining a legal status is crucial. The EB-5 investment immigration program in the United States is popular due to its simple application requirements and short processing time. One application allows the entire family to immigrate. After obtaining a green card, individuals can freely enter and exit the United States and reside and work anywhere in the country without immigration monitoring.
The success of the EB-5 investment immigration program in the United States hinges on selecting the right project. In the fiscal year 2015, U.S. investment immigration will face significant events such as the arrival of visa backlogs, a surge in applications, and the expiration of the regional center program, which may likely increase investment amounts. Therefore, choosing an EB-5 project that has been pre-approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services becomes the best option to address uncertainties. The Pennsylvania Turnpike project and the New York Liberty Garden luxury apartment project launched by WorldWay are both high-quality EB-5 projects pre-approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services.
