    Investment Immigration to the United States Focus on American Life: In China, regardless of where you are, you are accustomed to a single time standard: Beijing Time. This is not the case in the United States. The US does not follow the time of its capital, Washington, D.C.; instead, it divides the 4,517-kilometer stretch from the East Coast to the West Coast (the contiguous United States) into four time zones. Therefore, after immigrating to the United States, it is essential for immigrants to adjust their schedules accordingly.
