Against the backdrop of tightening global immigration policies and structural adjustments in population mobility, the United States continues to demonstrate long-term and stable appeal.
According to the latest 'International Migration Outlook 2025' report released by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the number of new permanent immigrants to the United States in 2024 grew against the trend, maintaining its position as the world's top immigration destination.
Data reveals: The United States remains the global 'central country' for immigration
The OECD report shows:
• In 2024, the number of new permanent immigrants to the United States reached 1.425 million, a year-on-year increase of approximately 20%
• This accounts for 23% of the total new permanent immigrants to OECD countries
• It continues to rank as the world's number one immigration destination
In 2024, while the total number of permanent immigrants to OECD countries generally declined, only the United States saw a 20% growth against the trend. This data itself confirms a fact: the United States remains one of the most primary and highly recognized immigration destinations in the world.
Why does the United States consistently attract global immigrants?
The world's largest and most mature economy: The United States possesses the world's largest economic aggregate and the most comprehensive industrial system. Employment opportunities span technology, finance, healthcare, education, manufacturing, services, and more, providing vast development space for immigrants of different backgrounds and at different stages. At the same time, the U.S. mature institutional framework, deep financial markets, and massive economic scale ensure its long-term stable capacity in global asset allocation.
World-leading educational resources: From basic education to higher education, the United States has long occupied the global educational high ground. Renowned universities, research institutions, and a well-developed school district system make the United States the preferred country for countless families planning their children's future.
High value of status and strong global recognition: U.S. status brings a more open employment environment, freer global travel experiences, and higher international recognition. For families pursuing an international lifestyle, this is of key value.
A highly globalized and diverse society: As a traditional country of immigration, the United States has a high degree of tolerance for cultural diversity, making it easier for new immigrants to build social and professional networks and form long-term, stable paths for life and development.
Behind the numbers lies long-term recognition of the United States
The 1.425 million new permanent immigrants are not a short-term emotional outburst, but a rational choice made by global families after thorough comparison. As more and more families confirm that the United States remains a preferred destination for long-term living and development, what truly needs careful consideration is no longer 'whether to immigrate to the United States,' but rather through what means one can complete status planning more securely and efficiently.
In the current U.S. immigration system, different paths have different focuses, but for families hoping to plan their entire family's status in one step while ensuring time certainty, EB-5 investment immigration is becoming the choice for more and more people.
Since the legislation by Congress in 1990, the EB-5 program has a history of over thirty years. Under the new EB-5 law, rural EB-5 projects are exempt from visa backlogs and enjoy priority processing advantages; the 'concurrent filing' policy allows applicants in the U.S. to file Form I-526E and Form I-485 simultaneously, enabling them to obtain a Combo card in about 3 months, quickly achieving legal residency and employment eligibility. Now is the critical window to lay out your U.S. status and seize the opportunity.
Worldway has two high-quality EB-5 rural projects in hand, helping investors achieve their U.S. status planning securely, without backlogs, and efficiently, quickly embarking on a new life in the United States. Global quotas are limited, spots are scarce, first come, first served!
In addition, the Trump Gold Card immigration program is officially open for applications. Worldway has taken the lead in launching Gold Card acceptance services, helping applicants efficiently advance their application process and seize the critical time window.
