  As a superpower, the United States stands proudly in the world, captivating many with its unique charm of freedom, democracy, fashion, and modernity, attracting countless dreamers to strive, fight, and realize their dreams. With advanced technology, leading education, excellent environment, and high-quality medical facilities, all these superior conditions draw people from various countries to immigrate and settle here.



 

  Investing $500,000 for U.S. EB-5 investment immigration is currently a mainstream pathway for many wealthy individuals to immigrate to the United States, well-known among investors. However, the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program has experienced its first waiting period since May 1, 2015. So, who will be affected by the waiting period?

 

  Which category of investors is affected by the waiting period?

 

  Due to the high volume of EB-5 visa applications from mainland China, the waiting period is limited to investors born in mainland China, excluding those born in other countries or regions of China, such as investors born in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan.

 

  Generally, when applying for an EB-5 visa, the applicant uses their place of birth, which may not necessarily be their nationality. In other words, as long as your place of birth is Hong Kong, you will not be subject to a waiting period for immigration to the United States.

 

  What if my spouse's country of birth is not mainland China?

 

  If an investor born in mainland China marries someone born outside of mainland China, the investor can request to use the spouse's country of birth to determine the waiting period. For example, if an investor born in mainland China marries someone born in Hong Kong, they can switch the primary applicant to the spouse to apply, thus avoiding the waiting period restrictions for Chinese investors.

 

  From the above content, it can be seen that the $500,000 investment immigration to the United States is exempt from the waiting period for applicants born in Hong Kong (one spouse is sufficient). This advantage, combined with the currently low cost and simple conditions for immigration to the United States, makes it the best time to immigrate to the United States.
