In 2025, WorldWay celebrates its 19th anniversary of U.S. investment immigration services. Over the past nineteen years, WorldWay has consistently utilized its expertise and strength to help over 6,000 families successfully realize their American immigration dreams, processing over 10,000 U.S. Green Cards. It has become one of the most influential and credible U.S. immigration brands in the Chinese market, earning widespread recognition from high-net-worth individuals globally.
At this significant milestone, WorldWay conducted a special interview with its long-term partner—the multi-billion dollar U.S. fund, Peachtree Group. As a giant in the U.S. commercial real estate and fund management sectors, Peachtree Group has collaborated with WorldWay three times to successfully launch three EB-5 rural hotel projects. All three collaborations have received high market recognition, becoming successful benchmarks in the field of EB-5 investment immigration.
In the interview, senior executives from Peachtree Group not only reviewed their history of cooperation with WorldWay but also shared their unique project evaluation logic and thoughts on the future development of EB-5. Below are some highlights from the conversation:
Question: As WorldWay celebrates its 19th anniversary of U.S. investment immigration, looking back at the three successful collaborations with Peachtree Group, what is the reason Peachtree Group continues to choose WorldWay as a partner?
Answer: First, I would like to thank WorldWay Group for partnering with us on the occasion of its 19th anniversary—19 years is an incredible achievement. More importantly, our decision to partner with WorldWay lies in its excellent reputation in the immigration services sector. It is one of the top institutions in the Chinese immigration services field, which is a key reason for our choice to work with them. We look forward to launching more projects; clearly, both sides have already achieved fruitful results, and we look forward to working together to advance more successful projects in the near future.
Question: Looking back at past collaborations, what has left the deepest impression on you regarding the WorldWay team or its investors?
Answer: Without a doubt, WorldWay has a very professional team. In our work with them, I not only participated in the due diligence work they conducted in the U.S. for several projects we initiated (projects for which WorldWay was responsible for introducing investors), but I also traveled to Beijing and Shanghai to meet with their team. There is no doubt that their team is one of the top teams in the immigration services field, and I am very proud to be a partner of WorldWay.
Question: What unique evaluation framework does Peachtree Group use when assessing EB-5 projects? What key elements should an ideal EB-5 project possess?
Answer: From our perspective, the core is "downside risk protection," ensuring that investors can recover their principal. Clearly, the projects invested in by EB-5 investors must be located in qualified areas and must create a sufficient number of jobs.
But beyond that, we also place high importance on judging whether a project has strong investment fundamentals from a commercial real estate perspective. This is because we want to ensure that the capital invested by those who choose us is protected.
Investment inherently involves risk, especially when investing in illiquid assets like commercial real estate. However, we believe we do an excellent job in project risk assessment with a rigorous process—we comprehensively evaluate project fundamentals to ensure the project site is reasonable and feasible.
For example, we have participated in multiple hotel projects where we conduct in-depth assessments of the location to ensure there is actual demand for the hotel once built; we audit project costs and budgets to ensure they align with actual construction costs; at the same time, we also evaluate the developer's qualifications, as in most cases we provide funds through loans—that is, lending to developers to support their construction of new hotels or multi-family residential projects. Therefore, we examine the developer's reputation, track record, and project execution capability.
In summary, our evaluation focus includes: the sustainability of the project itself as an operating asset (i.e., whether the project can operate stably once completed), and the developer's project construction capability and job creation ability. These elements together constitute the key to the success of an EB-5 project.

Three-Time Collaboration · Precise Replication of a Successful Model
As Peachtree Group stated, WorldWay's professionalism and reputation are important reasons for their repeated choice. Three collaborations, three successes, are the best proof of the strong alliance between the two parties.
From the "University Town Hilton Hotel" to the "Bryce Canyon Marriott Hotel," and now to the "Great Smoky Mountains Marriott Hotel," every project has quickly gained market recognition due to its high-quality location, strict risk control, and compliant execution. The first two projects sold out quickly upon launch, which once again confirms the scarcity and market popularity of high-quality rural EB-5 projects.
Today, the "Great Smoky Mountains Marriott Hotel" EB-5 project, launched by WorldWay and the multi-billion dollar Peachtree Group in their third strong alliance, not only continues the successful model of the previous two but is also a precise replication of a market-validated investment model. All three projects use the same loan structure, have project documents drafted by the same top-tier U.S. law firm, and are executed in accordance with the U.S. case law system.
This means that investors can seize another reliable EB-5 investment opportunity based on mature experience and successful practice. For investors intending to immigrate to the U.S., the "Great Smoky Mountains Marriott Hotel" is undoubtedly the best opportunity to grasp at present.
Recently, the U.S. immigration and study abroad policy environment has been fluctuating frequently. With a series of new policies such as the H-1B fee skyrocketing by $100,000, the wage-weighted lottery system, and the tightening of F/J and OPT policies, the uncertainty of traditional U.S. study abroad and work visa paths has increased sharply. For Chinese families, this means the path to obtaining status through studying and working is becoming increasingly narrow.
Against this backdrop, investment immigration has become a more stable and predictable path. Seizing the window of opportunity to lock in a Green Card in advance, without being repeatedly affected by visa policy changes, is the wisest choice at present.
At the same time, the EB-5 grandfather clause has entered its final year countdown! The clause expires on September 30, 2026, which means the final window for investors to lock in policy protection has begun its sprint.
Why is EB-5
a stable path to U.S. immigration?
No lottery: Invest from $800,000 to get a Green Card for the whole family;
Current no-visa-bulletin advantage: Rural projects have a 20% set-aside quota and are currently in a no-visa-bulletin status;
Concurrent filing: File the I-526E immigration petition and I-485 adjustment of status application simultaneously, and you can receive a Combo card in about 3 months;
Lock in policy: File before September 30, 2026, to be protected by the "grandfather clause" and remain unaffected by future policy changes.
