To align with the ongoing U.S. EB-5 immigration policy reforms, the U.S. immigration authorities will not only strengthen overall supervision of EB-5 projects, but will also implement several significant adjustments in recent adjudication practices. These include changes to various stages of the administrative review process for investors, documentation standards, project progress, and even the verification of source-of-funds documentation. Experts from Worldway Immigration point out that for EB-5 investors to adapt to the latest EB-5 policy trends and minimize potential variables and risks, they should evaluate projects based on the following two key aspects:
First, selecting a reliable project is the prerequisite for success.
The overall rejection of EB-5 projects is likely a major factor driving up the overall EB-5 denial rate. Therefore, selecting a trustworthy and reliable EB-5 project remains a prerequisite for investors to mitigate risks.
Worldway Immigration Group focuses on a philosophy of selecting premium projects. Through rigorous review methods, we select U.S. EB-5 investment immigration projects with high investment value and lower risk coefficients for our investors. Our ability to select projects and effectively reduce risks allows us to better adapt to the current "project is king" new normal during this critical period of U.S. investment immigration.
Second, choose an immigration firm that submits applications based on the standards of the new EB-5 bill.
In April 2015, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced a new policy regarding the adjudication of source-of-funds documentation during an EB-5 stakeholder teleconference. Many immigration firms that failed to submit applications according to the latest EB-5 policy standards may have encountered a large number of Requests for Evidence (RFE).
Worldway immigration experts point out that to avoid being affected by the many future variables, it is best for investors to ensure that the most complete application materials are submitted before September 30, 2016. More importantly, investors should choose a professional firm like Worldway, which was the first in the country to begin submitting applications in accordance with the latest requirements and standards of the new EB-5 bill as early as June 2015.
Currently, the popular EB-5 projects offered by Worldway Immigration Group—the DLJ Four Seasons Hotel and Resort project (a project where investors have been successfully approved and repayment is made by a large real estate fund), the 90 Columbus Apartment project (a rare, approved New York Manhattan concept apartment project), and the Nevada Solar Power project (a high-employment project guaranteed by a large New York-listed company)—all possess numerous advantages, including strong developer backing, sufficient job creation, low investment and repayment risks, and sound exit mechanisms.
[Special Note] Currently, Worldway's 10th Anniversary celebration for U.S. investment immigration is in full swing. The valid usage period for the "Worldway 10th Anniversary U.S. Investment Immigration 10,000 Yuan Voucher Reward" expires on April 30.
