For overseas investment immigrants, the United States has set up EB-5 investment immigration program and special immigrant visa category. Applicants need to invest100000 USD and employ at least10000 employees anywhere in the United States, or invest 500,000 USD and employ at least1000 employees in a nationally recognized "target employment area" (high unemployment area or suburb).

On June 4th, 20 15 local time, the Judiciary Committee of the US Senate announced that it planned to legislate to raise the threshold for EB-5 investment immigrants from $500,000 to $800,000, and at the same time give the Department of Homeland Security greater authority to strengthen the examination of whether investment immigrants are fraudulent or threaten US national security.

The bill requires the United States to improve the "security" review of investment immigrants, give the Department of Homeland Security greater authority, veto or terminate investment immigration applications involving fraud, criminal abuse, threats to US national security and public safety, pre-examine EB-5 projects before investors submit applications, and conduct "background checks" on regional centers and project developers.
