Against the backdrop of today's global economic integration, frequent cross-border mobility has made immigration issues a subject of increasing concern for investors. At the same time, the harsh reality of family separation deeply touches the heartstrings of every immigrant investor, sparking widespread and intense resonance. For investors currently planning their immigration path, how should they make wise choices?
Recently, President Biden announced a new measure, and the Department of Homeland Security will take action to ensure that non-citizen spouses and children of U.S. citizens can maintain family unity. This new process will help certain non-citizen spouses and children apply for the lawful permanent residence they are already eligible for, without having to leave the United States. To qualify, non-citizens must have resided in the United States for 10 years or more as of June 17, 2024, be legally married to a U.S. citizen, and meet all applicable legal requirements. Individuals who qualify for this process have lived in the United States for an average of 23 years.
After the Department of Homeland Security evaluates their applications on a case-by-case basis, those approved will have three years to apply for permanent residence. They will be allowed to live with their families in the United States and will be eligible for work authorization for up to three years. This will apply to all eligible married couples. This action will protect approximately 500,000 spouses of U.S. citizens and approximately 50,000 non-citizen children under the age of 21 who meet the requirements.
At this juncture, the Biden administration's announcement of such a "pro-immigration" measure is inseparable from the Democratic Party's desire to win more support and votes. This policy has caused dissatisfaction among many. They feel that applying for legal status through formal channels seems even harder than obtaining a green card for those who are residing illegally. In fact, if you look closely at the application requirements, you will find that meeting the requirements of the new policy is not easy. For example, the requirement of "continuous physical presence in the United States since June 17, 2014" excludes those who have entered the United States through illegal channels in recent years. In addition, this application is a "one-time" operation; if rejected, there is no eligibility for appeal or the possibility of reopening the case. Even if approved, one cannot leave the United States before obtaining a travel document or green card; once they leave, the waiver is void.
However, long-term legal status has become a "pain point." Whether for international students in the U.S. or those wishing to immigrate to the U.S., the green card is a tangible and critical issue they all face. From the initial F-1 student visa to the OPT (Optional Practical Training) opportunities after graduation, and then to the highly competitive H-1B work visa lottery, every step tests their luck and strength. However, even after successfully overcoming these obstacles, what awaits them is still a long green card application process, which often takes more than ten years. Even more worrying is that the situation for H-1B visa and green card applications has become increasingly severe in recent years. Many outstanding international students have failed repeatedly in the H-1B lottery, and some U.S. companies that once actively sponsored visas and green cards for employees no longer provide such guarantees for various reasons. This status quo undoubtedly exacerbates the anxiety and unease of the international student community regarding the green card issue.
Currently, if you want to get a green card quickly, the "EB-5 Rural Project under the reserved visa category—no backlog & concurrent filing & priority processing" is the better choice. According to the new EB-5 act, in the current absence of a backlog, applicants can simultaneously file the I-526E immigration petition and the I-485 adjustment of status application, and can also apply for the I-131 travel permit and I-765 work permit to legally reside, study, and work in the United States, enjoying quasi-green card freedom in advance. It can be said that EB-5 concurrent filing is the fastest way among all immigration categories to resolve domestic work and entry/exit status.
Biden's term is coming to an end. It is hoped that he can introduce creative policy measures regarding legal immigration to provide more dividends to legal immigrants and the international student community, and also leave behind a valuable political legacy for himself. At present, the election trend is unpredictable. Now is the golden window for immigrating to the United States. It is recommended that the vast number of prospective applicants win by speed, seize the opportunity, and take practical actions to cope with the ever-changing situation. Of course, there is no need to worry about the impact of the election on EB-5 investment immigration. Previously, the EB-5 "Regional Center" program was reauthorized until September 30, 2027. According to the EB-5 "grandfather clause," even if the program is not extended, investors can complete the EB-5 process before that date.
If you are interested in immigrating to the United States through the EB-5 investment immigration method, please be sure to get on board quickly, seize the opportunity, apply as early as possible, get approved as early as possible, and benefit as early as possible! The three best-selling boutique EB-5 projects on the market, the "University Town Hilton Hotel" with an I-956F already approved for which WorldWay serves as the exclusive agent for Greater China, the "Florida Lakefront Jewish Community" EB-5 project with a large number of I-526E approved cases, and the "Hawaii Gr芮 Resort Hotel" EB-5 project jointly created by capital giants, are all high-quality EB-5 rural projects that have been screened and strictly controlled by WorldWay Group.
These three boutique EB-5 projects are all rural TEA projects under the new act. They not only enjoy reserved EB-5 visa quotas but also receive priority processing from the immigration bureau. They combine many advantages such as no backlog, priority approval, and EB-5 funds enjoying first-priority mortgage guarantees. With an investment starting from 800,000 USD, one person applies and the whole family quickly obtains a green card. Quotas are scarce, so grab them while you can.
