Introduction to American Investment Immigrants 1. The most convenient green card channel is the EB5 investment immigration program in the United States, which is an immigrant visa category established for overseas investment immigrants in the American immigration law, referred to as "EB-5". This visa was implemented from 199 1, and the US government specially added the "regional center pilot program" in the EB-5 immigration regulations of 1993, relaxing the requirement of "directly creating ten jobs" in the immigration application conditions to "directly or indirectly creating ten jobs". Make EB-5 a convenient channel with the shortest application time and the least qualification conditions among all immigration categories in the United States. 2.EB-5 qualification (application conditions) According to EB-5 visa rules, people can obtain EB-5 qualification on any of the following basis:

1) Invest one million dollars anywhere in the United States and employ at least ten employees;

2) Invest $500,000 in low-employment areas recognized by the state and employ at least 10 employees;

3) Invest 500,000 USD in the "regional center" approved by the government. Second, American investment immigrants have the following advantages: 1. Applicants only need to prove the legal source of personal funds, not limited by language, education, age and business background; 2. Being able to obtain a US green card in a relatively short period of time, being free to enter and leave the United States, not subject to immigration supervision restrictions, and not affecting normal business and life in China; ? 8? 5. 3. You don't need to start your own business, participate in the operation and management in person, and directly hire 10 employees; 4. Spouses and children under the age of 2/kloc-0 can get American green cards and enjoy the same benefits as American citizens; 5. For the applicant, there is no requirement for residence, and he can freely enter and leave most developed countries in the world, such as the United States and Canada, which will help the applicant to expand his business to the United States and even the world; 6. For the children of the applicant, they can enjoy free basic education in the United States and have priority to enter many excellent universities in the United States. The admission probability of Harvard, Yale and other famous schools has increased from 3%-5% to 95%- 97%, and at the same time, you can choose to work in the United States or other countries in the world; 7. The social security and welfare system in the United States is also relatively perfect, including medical services, education subsidies for children of retirees, social security benefits, unemployment benefits, subsidies for children of low-income families, vocational training subsidies for the unemployed, and nutrition for schoolchildren. Three. Background of American Investment Immigration Project ● 1993 After the end of the Cold War, the Committee for Reorganizing and Closing American Bases closed and streamlined 29 California military bases, resulting in more than187,000 unemployed people in California at that time. In order to attract investment, revitalize the regional economy and create employment opportunities, the US government approved this investment project, and vigorously transformed the infrastructure construction such as bridges, highways, energy facilities, power plants and wastewater treatment facilities. ● 1997, the predecessor of USCIS, the US Immigration and Naturalization Service, approved these bases to become regional centers. ● In 2007, USCIS approved six base development areas of the regional center and their investment plans: George Air Force Base, Norton Air Force Base, March Air Force Base, McClellan Air Force Base, Sacramento Military Base and Mather Air Force Base. Four. In most cases, the funds of EB5 investors are mostly used by for-profit private enterprises, but the funds of investment groups are lent to government semi-official institutions (members are mostly important officials of state governments) for the development of closed military bases; ◆ Funds from investment groups and other sources are used to build or transform infrastructure (roads, railways, bridges, aviation facilities, power plants, parking lots, wastewater treatment facilities, etc.). ). Used in infrastructure construction, it has realized the original intention and requirements of the US government to establish the EB5 regional center, and created employment opportunities while promoting economic growth; ◆ Investment group funds only account for less than 65,438+00% of the total investment of the project, and other funds come from federal government, state government, local government funds, bonds issued by the government, and private capital with fixed loan term; ◆ Investment Group lends investors' money to development institutions through loans, with a six-year loan contract, which will be repaid at maturity. V. Differences from other investment immigrants 1. Having a supervision account can ensure the safety of funds before the approval of I526 Immigration Bureau is issued; 2, investment in municipal engineering, not pure commercial investment, the risk is relatively small; 3. Signing a six-year repayment agreement with a semi-official institution is an investment in the form of a loan, rather than direct investment and projects; 4. Investment resettlement funds only account for less than 65,438+00% of the total investment of the project, and other funds come from municipal, state and federal funds to ensure the normal operation of the project; 5. The calculation method of employment is all indirect, which is accepted by the Immigration Bureau, far higher than the requirements of the Immigration Bureau; 6. It is an investment immigration project that really brings direct effects to American economy and construction. The examination and approval will be quick, and it will be approved within six days at the earliest. American relative immigrants are divided into two categories: quota-limited and quota-free.

First, the United States quotas restrict the migration of relatives and are subject to annual immigration quotas. If there is a waiting period, schedule it.

According to the relationship, it is divided into the following four types:

① Family priority, with an annual quota of 23,400.

F 1: Unmarried children of American citizens over 2 1, including those born out of wedlock under 2 1, the application process takes about 6 years.

② Family is the second priority, with an annual quota of 1 1.42 million.

F2A: American permanent residents, that is, spouses of green card holders and only children under the age of 265,438+0, account for at least 77% of the annual quota, and the application process takes about 5 years.

F2B: Unmarried children over 265,438+0 years old of permanent residents in the United States, including those born out of wedlock, account for about 23% of the annual quota, and the application process takes about 9 years.

③ Family is the third priority, with an annual quota of 23,400.

F3: Families of married children of American citizens. The application process takes about 8 years.

④ Family is the fourth priority, with 65,000 places per year.

F4: Brothers and sisters of American citizens and single children under 2 1 year old.

However, another prerequisite for this kind of relative immigration is that American citizens must be at least 2 1 year old.

Second, relatives without quota restrictions are divided into immediate family members of American citizens.

The immediate family members of American citizens include their spouses, unmarried children under the age of 265,438+0, unmarried children under the age of 65,438+08 born by spouses and ex-husbands, unmarried children under the age of 65,438+06 legally adopted by American citizens and parents of American citizens over the age of 265,438+0. As immediate family members of American citizens, they can immigrate to the United States at any time without quota restrictions, that is, there is no waiting period for green cards.

The main categories are as follows: Cr 1- Apply within two years of marriage, American citizens apply for spouse (unmarried children under 2 1 CR2), the application process is about 1 and 3 months, IR 1- Apply after two years of marriage, and American citizens apply for spouse (unmarried children under 2 1 Ir.

K3-Cr 1 (American citizens apply for spouses), and the priority category of CR2 (their unmarried children under 2 1 year) is K4, and the application process takes about 9 months to 1 year.
