Worldway Group has learned from relevant research data that two major forces from China successfully "occupied" the United States in 2015. These two forces are the EB-5 U.S. investment immigration group and the U.S. real estate investment group.
According to a report released this June by the National Association of Realtors (NAR), China has become the largest overseas buyer of U.S. real estate. In 2015, the total expenditure by Chinese citizens on U.S. real estate reached $28.6 billion, accounting for 16% of the total spending by foreign buyers. This figure was only $4.1 billion in 2009, representing an increase of nearly seven times. Meanwhile, the average purchase price for Chinese buyers was $831,800, far higher than that of the other four major buyers of U.S. real estate: Canada, India, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.
In addition to the home-buying force that has "occupied the United States," there is also a large number of Chinese investment immigrants in the U.S. Overseas citizens can obtain an EB-5 visa and subsequently a Green Card by investing $500,000 to $1 million in a U.S. enterprise and creating at least 10 new jobs. In recent years, the growth rate of Chinese investment immigration has been staggering, rising from 63 people in 2006 to 9,128 in 2014, currently accounting for over 85% of the total number of EB-5 visas granted to all countries. In particular, as of the fourth quarter of the 2015 fiscal year, there were 17,367 applications pending approval, setting a new historical record.
The U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program is highly sought after by Chinese investors due to its short application cycle, lack of requirements for education, language, or business background, the ability for the whole family to immigrate under one application, freedom to enter and exit the U.S., and no "immigration jail" (physical presence requirement). As the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration policy faces changes and price increases, a frantic rush to secure the final U.S. immigration Green Cards at the $500,000 level has triggered a "shopping spree" mode.
Currently, the three high-quality EB-5 projects for which Worldway Group is the exclusive chief agent—the DLJ Four Seasons Hotel and Resort project (a project successfully approved for investment and repayment by the multi-billion dollar real estate fund DLJ) and the 90 Columbus apartment project (a rare Manhattan concept apartment project with a full set of I-526 documents already sample-approved)—are all high-quality projects protected by the grandfather clause, with sufficient employment creation, low investment risk, and low repayment risk. Time is of the essence to secure your $500,000 investment immigration quota for the United States. Please call our group purchase hotline: 400-138-2929
