  In response to the global pandemic of the novel coronavirus pneumonia (also known as COVID-19), the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services recently issued a statement encouraging residents exhibiting symptoms of infection to undergo virus testing and treatment without fear that doing so will affect their future applications for U.S. citizenship.

  As we know, the new "public charge" rule in the United States has officially come into effect. The new rule stipulates that non-U.S. citizens who receive more than 12 months of benefits in total within a 36-month period after February 24, 2020, and who receive one or more specific "public benefits" will be deemed a "public charge," which will affect their future green card and naturalization applications.

 

  During this special period, many investors are concerned that receiving medical assistance related to COVID-19 will be considered as utilizing "public benefits," thus affecting their naturalization applications. The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services stated that during the pandemic, residents using government-provided free testing and treatment, or taking preventive measures, will not be viewed as "utilizing public benefit resources"; they will not be treated differently when applying for naturalization in the future. In other words, immigrants who are currently applying for or preparing to apply for naturalization will not be considered a burden on public benefits if they receive COVID-19 testing, treatment, or preventive measures, and it will not affect their naturalization applications.

 

  The United States has a well-established welfare system, advanced technology, a superior environment, and excellent education levels, making it an ideal destination for many individuals seeking to live, reside, invest, and immigrate. Among the various ways to immigrate to the United States, the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program is particularly favored due to its advantages of no age, language, education, or business background requirements, allowing one application for the entire family to immigrate.
