As the world's only superpower, the United States surpasses other countries in both economic development maturity and political stability. Although the superpower is currently focused on economic self-rescue, the global stature of the United States remains unmatched by other nations. In particular, during the fiscal year 2013, the number of EB-5 investment immigration cases in the United States broke historical records: a total of 6,517 I-526 applications were accepted, representing over $3.25 billion in investment funds. However, only 3,677 cases have been approved so far, representing only $1.83 billion in investment funds (many are still under review).
Why has U.S. EB-5 investment immigration remained popular in recent years? WorldWay Immigration experts believe that the main reasons for the popularity of this program are as follows:
1. In recent years, the global trend of investment immigration has tightened, but the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration policy has not been adjusted and still maintains a low threshold;
2. With an investment of only $500,000, one can immigrate to the world's only superpower, offering high cost-effectiveness;
3. The review of EB-5 investment immigration projects has become more stringent, with the U.S. government overseeing the process, significantly reducing risks, providing generous benefits, top-tier education levels, and a people-oriented philosophy;
4. After obtaining a U.S. green card, the applicant's children can gain priority admission to top U.S. schools. For example, Harvard University admits only 2-3 students from mainland China each year. However, among the new students admitted each year, about 200-250 are Chinese American students or Chinese students holding green cards, meaning that having a U.S. green card increases the chances of being admitted to Harvard by a hundredfold.
Regarding tuition fees, after obtaining a green card, the tuition for the applicant's children will be reduced by at least two-thirds compared to international students. They can enjoy free public education from elementary to high school and can apply for scholarships and various benefits and medical insurance.
Additionally, the United States stipulates that international students cannot choose majors in medicine, law, communications, aviation, etc., whereas after obtaining a U.S. green card, the applicant's children will not face restrictions when selecting university majors. After graduation, holding a U.S. green card will provide the applicant's children with greater employment opportunities and development space.
However, it is worth noting that the proposed U.S. immigration reform bill in 2013 mentioned adjustments to the investment amount for EB-5 investment immigration, with an increase of at least 50%. Although the immigration reform bill has not yet passed Congressional review, this serves as a warning signal to investors that an increase in U.S. EB-5 investment immigration fees is becoming a trend, and it is only a matter of time. To meet the urgent needs of investors seeking to process U.S. investment immigration quickly, WorldWay Immigration launched the selected New York China Center EB-5 project at the beginning of 2014, helping more investors successfully obtain U.S. green cards in a shorter time, through the most convenient and safest means, and realize their dream of immigrating to the United States.
