"Currently, studying in the United States has become a popular plan for many families seeking to pave the way for their children's future education. However, there are many hidden "stumbling blocks" along this path. These concealed challenges can have a significant impact on children. As a parent, are you fully aware of these potential difficulties? Can your child skillfully navigate these obstacles and finally reach the shores of their dreams?
As a highly sought-after destination for international education, the United States boasts world-class educational resources, offering a wealth of learning opportunities for numerous students. Admission rates remain a primary focus, as they directly influence the likelihood of a student being accepted into their chosen institution.
Recently, several top-tier U.S. universities have released their overall admission rates for the 2023-2024 academic year. Competition for admission has intensified this year; among the top 25 institutions that have released their data, most have seen a downward trend in admission rates compared to the previous two years.
Looking further at international student admission rates, for most of the top 30 institutions, the admission rate for international students is below 10%! With the exception of a few California schools, almost all institutions follow this hierarchy: In-state students > Out-of-state students > International students.
Many parents have expressed that this is the toughest year on record! In reality, U.S. undergraduate applications are never easy, especially for international students. Looking at the data for incoming classes each year, it is evident that for nearly all U.S. universities within the top 50, the international admission rate is lower than the overall admission rate. The competition among Ivy League schools is even fiercer; for schools ranked within the top 20, the proportion of international students admitted annually consistently remains between 5% and 10%, with the remaining spots reserved for domestic students.
In fact, the difficulty of studying in the U.S. has been increasing, and both studying and staying there have become exceptionally challenging. International students not only face low admission rates but also limitations in choosing popular majors, despite paying three times the tuition of local students. Furthermore, graduates who wish to remain in the U.S. must navigate the "three mountains": the OPT stage, the H-1B stage, and the EB-2/EB-3 to Green Card transition stage. If a student does not pursue a STEM major, the OPT internship period is only one year, the H-1B lottery rate is even lower, and they may encounter a "glass ceiling" in employment, making it increasingly difficult to remain in the U.S.
For Chinese international students, if immigration status issues are not addressed promptly, it is like a sword hanging over their heads, where any minor change can trigger a chain reaction. Therefore, for those aiming for top U.S. universities and wishing to stay, "status planning" is a key link. Securing a Green Card for your child ensures both academic opportunities and the ability to remain in the country! For example, using the EB-5 investment immigration pathway to prepare a U.S. Green Card for your child in advance serves as a "reassurance" for the family, benefiting both university application success and long-term future stability. After graduation, the child is no longer trapped by OPT and H-1B constraints, gaining more high-quality choices and fair opportunities in internships and employment.
"Parents' love for their children is profound and plans for them for the long term." Now is the perfect time to plan your child's status through EB-5 investment immigration. Since the implementation of the new U.S. EB-5 investment immigration policy, applicants can perform "concurrent filing" in the U.S. This means that applicants without a visa backlog can simultaneously submit their I-526E immigrant petition and I-485 application to adjust status, as well as apply for travel authorization (I-131) and employment authorization (I-765), allowing them to legally reside, study, and work in the U.S., enjoying the freedom of a "quasi-Green Card" in advance.
The EB-5 "concurrent filing" window without visa backlogs is fleeting—seize the opportunity to catch the last train for backlog-free application! For investors, the rural projects in the EB-5 visa set-aside category are currently the preferred route for obtaining a U.S. Green Card quickly. Currently, the three popular boutique EB-5 projects—the "University Town Hilton Hotel" with its I-956F already approved, and the "Florida Lakeside Jewish Community" EB-5 project with a large number of I-526E approvals, both exclusively represented in Greater China by Worldway Group (WorldWay)—as well as the "Hawaii Grey Resort Hotel" EB-5 project, created in partnership with capital giants, are all high-quality rural EB-5 projects screened and strictly vetted by the Worldway Group.
These three boutique EB-5 projects all qualify as rural TEA projects under the new act. They not only benefit from the EB-5 visa set-aside quota but also receive priority processing from the immigration authorities. They combine multiple advantages: no visa backlog, priority approval, and first-lien mortgage protection for EB-5 funds. With an investment starting from $800,000, one application allows the whole family to obtain a Green Card quickly. Quotas are limited; act fast.
