      According to the "Trends in the Development of Returned Overseas Talents in China" report, the number of returnees is increasing at an annual rate of 12%. Last year, the number of returnees in China reached 480,900; the number of students studying abroad reached 600,000.

 

   With the continuous rise in overseas study in recent years, the number of students studying abroad has also been steadily increasing, and the tide of studying abroad is gradually emerging. However, due to the tightening of immigration policies in various study destinations, it has become increasingly difficult for students to stay abroad. Therefore, the corresponding "tide of returnees" has also emerged. So, when the tide of studying abroad and the tide of returnees unexpectedly meet, what should people choose?

 

   The Tide of Studying Abroad: From "Personalization" to "Popularization". In recent years, with parents placing more emphasis on their children's education and the increase in family economic strength, sending children abroad for better education has become a common choice for many families rather than a personalized one. Today, studying abroad has become a new trend, and the age of students studying abroad is getting younger.

 

   Among them, the United States, with its rich educational resources and flexible educational system, has been one of the most popular destinations for Chinese students studying abroad for many years.

 

   The Tide of Returnees: From the "Golden Age" to the "Bronze Age", "De-Haloization" May Become a Trend. Returnees were once synonymous with high levels and high salaries. However, in recent years, with the large-scale emergence of the "tide of returnees", the elite halo of returnees has gradually faded, and their treatment and expectations have shown a significant gap compared to before.

 

   Many students choose to return home due to the tightening and changes in immigration policies of the respective countries, which prevent them from continuing to stay abroad. Taking the United States as an example, since Trump took office, the "America First" policy has been implemented, and the H-1B work visa, which is closely related to international students, has faced more severe challenges, making it increasingly difficult for students to stay in the United States through the H-1B route. It can be said that every international student who has worked hard in the United States faces significant challenges regarding their immigration status.

 

     When the Tide of Studying Abroad Meets the Tide of Returnees, Early Planning for Immigration Status is Especially Important

 

   For many individuals, studying abroad is a beautiful beginning; however, returning home after graduation may be an unavoidable decision. As the number of students studying abroad continues to surge, the number of those who can truly stay abroad is decreasing, leading to an increasing number of returnees. In the face of the surging tides of "studying abroad" and "returnees", early planning for immigration status is particularly important.

 

   Nowadays, with the improvement of economic capabilities, broader horizons, and higher pursuits for quality of life, more and more middle-class individuals are also embarking on the path of immigration. Immigration has gradually become a trend as it meets people's needs for education, investment, and living conditions. Immigration is no longer the privilege of a few; it has become widespread, and the tide of immigration has emerged accordingly.

 

   According to a survey by the internationally renowned research organization Gallup, 15% (758 million) of people worldwide want to immigrate, with approximately 158 million wanting to move to the United States, equivalent to half of the current U.S. population. As we know, the U.S. Green Card is one of the most valuable identity cards globally: it allows holders to enjoy benefits provided by the U.S. government and enroll their children in public schools. Through the EB-5 investment immigration program, investors can immigrate to the United States with an investment of $500,000 for the whole family.

 

   The so-called educational planning must precede immigration status; a "Green Card" helps open the doors to education for children, making their paths wider and smoother. Obtaining a U.S. Green Card allows international students to graduate without being restricted by immigration status and work visas, enabling them to prioritize internship and job opportunities with Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and non-profit organizations, choose their careers freely, and receive the same salary and benefits as locals, thus avoiding the dilemma of whether to "leave" or "stay" after graduation.

 

   Currently, there are only 37 days left before the EB-5 investment immigration price increase, and the time for you to make a decision is running out! To assist investors in seizing the $500,000 low-cost immigration "window period" to the United States, the WorldWay Group is launching a promotional activity in October titled "Apply First, Pay Later, Sprint to the Price Increase on November 21", which has received great popularity! Meanwhile, it is also the period of the WorldWay Group's major discount event for immigration projects in 18 countries, meaning that signing up for immigration to the United States now can enjoy multiple discounts. For investors, this is a rare opportunity.
