In recent years, as the number of applicants for U.S. investment immigration has risen rapidly, how to select an EB-5 project has become a hot topic. Worldway U.S. immigration experts point out: Before selecting a project, if EB-5 investors can master these "three perspectives," they can prevent certain issues from arising during the specific selection and application process, helping them successfully complete their immigration application.
1. Perspective on Cost-Effectiveness: U.S. immigration remains a mainstream choice
EB-5 investment immigration is the simplest and fastest method with relatively low costs, and it has no requirements for the applicant's education, language, age, or business background. Furthermore, investors can obtain U.S. Green Cards for their entire family. This low-threshold, simple, and fast way to immigrate to the U.S. also provides a high-value global passport, optimizes asset allocation, and allows simultaneous access to high-quality U.S. educational resources, medical care, retirement, and other citizen benefits. By comparison, EB-5 investment immigration remains the mainstream, high-quality choice for Chinese citizens immigrating overseas.
2. Perspective on Current Status: Project quality varies, and risk management is the core
With the heating up of U.S. EB-5 investment immigration, countless EB-5 projects are released every year. However, due to the varying quality of these projects, Chinese investors face selection difficulties. Therefore, EB-5 investors must keep their eyes open, select carefully, and effectively manage the risks of EB-5 projects.
Generally speaking, investors need to comprehensively consider the main qualities of these EB-5 projects: the investment entity (the strength, experience, and integrity of the project and developer), whether job creation is sufficient (whether it is a reliable job calculation method recognized by the USCIS, and whether there is a sufficient surplus in job creation), whether there is a good exit mechanism (first-priority repayment or second-priority repayment), the quality of collateral and guarantees, the feasibility of project operations, and the actual cash flow of the project, etc.
3. Perspective on the Future: Three major trends are present, with risks and opportunities coexisting
Worldway U.S. immigration experts point out: In 2016, U.S. EB-5 investment immigration will face three major trends: visa retrogression, policy changes, and asset allocation. EB-5 investment immigration faces potential risks such as price increases, policy changes, and backlogs, while simultaneously facing the final historical opportunity for low-cost immigration to the U.S. at $500,000.
On one hand, investors should seize the final historical opportunity for low-cost immigration to the U.S. as soon as possible, accelerate their applications and investments, and speed up their immigration progress; on the other hand, they must focus on controlling project risks by choosing high-quality EB-5 investment immigration projects and professional, authoritative investment immigration agencies and lawyers to safeguard their immigration to the U.S.
Worldway Immigration Group's four best-selling high-quality EB-5 projects—the DLJ Four Seasons Hotel Resort project (a project where investors have successfully been approved and repayment is made by a large real estate fund) and the 90 Columbus Apartment project (a rare, approved New York Manhattan concept apartment project), and the Nevada Solar Power project (a high-job-creation project guaranteed by a large listed parent company in New York), all possess numerous advantages such as strong developer strength, sufficient job creation, low investment and repayment risks, and sound exit mechanisms.
