Among them, Ms. Hu Kairu, Executive Vice President of WorldWay Group, engaged in a peak dialogue on EB-5 with two top U.S. law firms—Greenberg Traurig and Miller Mayer—at the forum, discussing EB-5 investment under the new Trump administration policies, which attracted significant attention and discussion from prospective immigrants.

The core topics of the EB-5 peak dialogue are summarized as follows:
Trump's New Policy: Opposing Illegal Immigration, Supporting EB-5 Immigration
Trump's immigration policy focuses on "illegal" immigration, primarily targeting specific groups such as terrorists and illegal immigrants, while China is not among the affected countries.
Moreover, the Trump family has also utilized EB-5 funds for investment, and since the EB-5 program aims to stimulate the U.S. economy and create jobs, it not only contributes significantly to the U.S. but also aligns closely with Trump's governance philosophy.
Therefore, while other visa categories are being heavily scrutinized and targeted by Trump, the U.S. investment immigration, specifically the EB-5 visa, has become one of the most reliable pathways to obtain a U.S. green card and remains the only immigration category not disparaged by Trump to date.
Potential Major Impacts on the Future EB-5 Legislation
The EB-5 investment immigration program is set to expire on April 28 of this year, and there are ongoing discussions about increasing the minimum investment amount or even shutting down the EB-5 program. In this regard, the two law firms believe that Congress is currently engaged in intense discussions on the most controversial core issues of the EB-5 legislation, and the specifics will only become clear when the policy changes.
However, some basic terms regarding the changes to the EB-5 program have already reached a consensus. The following are the potential major impacts on the future EB-5 legislation:
◎ Increase in the Minimum Investment Amount
◎ Modification of Target Employment Area Definitions
◎ Changes in Employment Creation Calculation Methods
◎ Increased Transparency
◎ Enhanced Integrity Measures, Improved Compliance, and Tracking of EB-5 Fund Requirements
