Recently, news regarding a potential travel ban list targeting 43 countries worldwide has sparked widespread attention and discussion in the international community. It is reported that this list includes several countries that have implemented investment citizenship programs.


At a recent press conference, U.S. Department of State spokesperson Tammy Bruce firmly refuted the report, emphatically stating, "There is no such list. The so-called list that has garnered attention over the past few days does not actually exist in any enforceable form."

Previously, The New York Times and Reuters reported that the Trump administration was drafting a three-tiered travel restriction system, which is expected to affect dozens of countries across multiple continents. According to these reports, countries would face varying degrees of visa restrictions based on identified security issues.


This so-called draft categorizes the relevant countries into three categories:

● The "Red" list includes 10 countries that will face a complete suspension of visas. This includes Afghanistan, Iran, Syria, Cuba, and North Korea.

● The "Orange" list includes 5 countries, such as Haiti and Myanmar, which will face partial visa suspensions, primarily affecting tourist and student visas.

● The "Yellow" list comprises 26 countries, including Pakistan, Belarus, and several Caribbean nations. These countries will be given 60 days to address the so-called "deficiencies," and if not resolved within the stipulated time, they will face further restrictions.


In light of this situation, while acknowledging that the U.S. is indeed conducting security reviews, Tammy Bruce also clarified, "The matters that have been widely publicized as related to the Department of State are not as they seem." She pointed out that recent media reports contain numerous inaccuracies and stated, "I must say that the premise of this report is inaccurate, and I cannot comment further on it."


Clearly, the U.S. Department of State has denied the existence of any travel ban list, indicating that U.S. immigration policy has not imposed extreme restrictions on countries with investment citizenship programs. However, the U.S. is currently conducting security reviews, and the Department of State has stated that once the review is complete, more relevant information will be available for discussion and exchange.


In this broader context, U.S. identity planning has become particularly important, as holding U.S. identity can help avoid many restrictions and reviews. The EB-5 investment immigration program is a stable pathway to obtaining a U.S. green card. Under the new policy, applicants born in mainland China have not yet encountered any need for a waiting period, and individuals within the U.S. can quickly obtain their EAD work permit and re-entry permit through the "dual submission" advantage, allowing them to legally reside in the U.S.! Interested investors should submit their applications as soon as possible to secure their priority date and realize their dream of immigrating to the U.S. at the earliest opportunity.


Currently, rural projects within the EB-5 reserved visa pathway are among the preferred options for quickly obtaining a U.S. green card. The two popular EB-5 projects on the market, the "Aspen Kodiak Apartments" which has received dual approval for I-956F and I-526E, and the "Hawaii Grand Resort" developed by capital giants which has received approval for I-956F, are both high-quality EB-5 rural projects that have undergone rigorous screening and quality control by Worldway Group, making them excellent choices for your swift immigration to the U.S.
