Recently, the authoritative release of the "Top Ten Immigration Events of 2016" by Worldway Immigration has garnered attention from numerous domestic media outlets and journalists. Major media platforms such as CNR, China.org.cn, NetEase, Phoenix New Media, and Jrj.com have widely reported on it, making it a focal point in the industry. Among these, the prediction that U.S. investment immigration will trend toward the high-end market in 2017 has sparked heated discussions within the U.S. investment immigration sector.
The U.S. EB-5 Investment Immigration Regional Center Program has been extended once again, but proposals to increase the EB-5 investment threshold have been continuous, and a price hike has become a near-consensus among the U.S. Congress, the administration, and the industry. The increase in the investment threshold will likely have a crowding-out effect on some small and medium-sized investors.
However, at the same time, as the Federal Reserve raises interest rates and the U.S. dollar enters an appreciation cycle, it will generate new appeal for high-net-worth individuals. The implementation of the Common Reporting Standard (CRS) for the automatic exchange of financial account information across 101 tax jurisdictions will alter the tax planning and immigration preferences of high-end investors. Furthermore, the new tax reduction policies to be introduced by President Trump, particularly his proposal to abolish the estate tax, will alleviate the concerns of high-end investors and accelerate the allocation of assets in U.S. dollars. EB-5 investment will become increasingly attractive to high-end and even ultra-high-net-worth investors, thereby gradually presenting a new trend of EB-5 investor high-endization.
At a time when the EB-5 bill is facing significant changes and a critical juncture, Worldway has timely introduced three EB-5 projects already approved by the USCIS, as well as EB-5 projects that offer guaranteed refunds if investment becomes impossible due to legislative changes. Among these, some projects have already met all employment requirements for I-829 condition removal, clearing the most significant obstacle to converting conditional green cards into permanent ones!
