Xinhua reporter Liu 劼 Jiang Yujuan
United States immigration visa Department of the State Council recently announced the fiscal year 2014 United States immigrant investor visa (EB-5) Chinese quota has been used up, this is the visa established more than 20 years as a country for the first time since too much and used up the quota for investment immigration. There is no indication United States immigration policies vary, the "far" stack sources could become China's rich immigrant United States of the new normal.
United States State Department chaersi·aobenhaimu, head of immigrant visa has revealed that space is exhausted, United States State Department by September 30 will no longer accept Chinese investment applications the 2015 fiscal year, more than 10,000 new places will be distributed beginning October 1. Although the United States temporarily closed its doors for the Chinese applicants and issued this new quota would not affect its fiscal year, but in recent years China's growth spurt of the applicant makes a relatively fixed quota of becoming more and more popular.
United States immigration EB-5 program is a United States immigration laws against foreign investment established by settlers in the immigrant visa category. Project requirement, investors must contribute $ 500,000 or $ 1 million investment project in the United States, and create at least 10 jobs within two years, applicants, their spouses and unmarried children under 21 years of age can get permanent residency, or green cards.
EB-5 the applicant's business background, age, education and language skills not required, as long as proof of their investment funds lawfully acquired, one application, the whole family can also obtain a green card, and once approved, applicants are free to choose the United States residing or staying in China to work and live in any city. Most of the applicants choice of China United States investment immigrants to their children's education, and EB-5 is the United States all immigrant visa category for approval in time (usually one year or less) and eligibility requirements limit on at least one of the many Chinese investors view them as immigrants United States "fast-track".
United States in 1990, the establishment of the project in order to attract foreign investment, skilled immigrants to United States investment and create employment opportunities. Years later, EB-5 visa application has not been popular until 2003, when United States Government issued EB-5 visas to worldwide applicants but dozens of. 2008 United States financial crisis erupted, the real economy cash flow becomes very tight. In order to attract overseas Immigration funds raise money for large building projects, some lobbyists to persuade Congress to count construction employment permanent employment, and incorporating it into the EB-5 range of authorized immigrants create jobs. Since then, the EB-5 began to heat up, and at the time also coincides with the Chinese immigrants began to appear. According to the American Immigration Lawyers Association data, 2007 Chinese EB-5 since the number of applicants increased by 7 times more than doubled.
United States law, approved each year, the 7% of immigration applications shall not exceed the total number of immigrants that year. Because of the often used up the quota assigned to the other, these places are often moved to Chinese applicants in recent years Chinese people take the EB-5 80% per cent of visa applications. FY 2013 United States National Visa Center has issued more than 8,500 EB-5, Chinese, more than 6,800. Fiscal year 2012 has issued more than 7,600 copies, of which Chinese investors more than 6,100 copies.
Mo Nasha, New York law firm Song Yi told Xinhua that the current immigration backlog of applicants has more than 10,000 pieces, is expected until the middle of next year, Chinese applicants may need to begin "waiting time", that is, Visa released, go through the immigration of Chinese people even if the application has been approved, also need to be queued for a visa quota is available can truly get a visa when you set foot on United States soil.
In her view, the current situation is not obvious blow to the enthusiasm of Chinese applicants, but will make some changes in their attitude. Once you start scheduling, an applicant from submitting material to get the temporary green card needs at least 2.5 years of time, before there were scheduling only takes less than a year's time to.
Immigrants are United States social sensitivities. The Obama administration's immigration reform was considered to be most attention and is a key policy in his second term, which refers to expanding immigrant investor visa program to attract foreign investors and foreign capital into the United States, to promote employment and economic growth. CPR permanently investing in United States Regional Centre, suburbs and declining areas of program opportunities for foreign investors with an immigrant visa, to attract foreign investment to help accelerate economic development in these areas.
However, the democratic and Republican parties over how to tackle immigration reform in serious differences on a number of specific issues, although the Senate has already passed a package, but the Republican-controlled House of representatives has not been released. 2014 is the midterm congressional election year 2015 and 2016, political cycle and the next presidential election. In this particular political period, Republican candidates would probably show more conservative political positions to attract voters and trying to contrasted strongly with the democratic camp candidates, immigration reform will be more difficult for customs clearance.
Song Yi told reporters that immigration for the United States to create jobs, provide interest-free loans for economic construction, without spending United States taxpayers money, United States politics and business people know this well, politics won't unveil Bill to specifically isolate China investment immigration applications. However, the passage of the Immigration Bill is far-reaching, which is why the long delay in approving the Bill in the House.
As China's investment boom in immigration, immigration process risks also rose. How to control risks, selecting projects, investors should consider a top priority. The recent exposure of some alarm for Chinese applicants for immigration fraud.
Song Yi believes that overall fraud case in the proportion of all cases is rare, but some project risks should be vigilant. Applicants to hire professionals to do due diligence, investors should also have as much understanding of the project.
