Three misunderstandings of EB5 investment immigrants in the United States. Did you get caught?

Three misunderstandings of American EB5 investment immigrants:

Myth 1: American investment immigrants = American citizens

Many people think that successful investment immigration means becoming an American citizen directly. In fact, "investing in immigration" and "joining foreign nationality" are completely different things. According to the EB-5 investment immigration program in the United States, foreign immigrant applicants can be granted a two-year conditional immigrant visa if they invest in the United States or create commercial enterprises beneficial to the American economy and create 10 full-time employment opportunities in the United States. 90 days before the expiration of two years, if the investment behavior of immigrant investors still exists, they can apply for "conditional removal" and become permanent residents of the United States.

Myth 2: American investment immigration = settling abroad

Are "American investment immigrants" designated to live abroad? Not necessarily. "American investment immigrants" is a visa issued by the United States to investment immigrants. After getting this "immigrant visa", it is more popular to say that you must enter the country twice a year or once every 180 days. The source of this misunderstanding is the confusion of immigration laws in Canada and the United States, and the wrong application of the 183-day rule in the American tax law. The definition of American tax residents and non-tax residents within 183 days in American tax law. However, this definition is not recognized in the immigration law. Another reason for misunderstanding is that the IIRAIRA Act of 1996 stipulates that permanent residents who have left the country for more than 180 days need to be allowed to enter the United States when they return to China for customs clearance. In fact, the advice on the website of the Immigration Bureau is not to leave the country for more than one year without applying for a re-entry permit.

Myth 3: American investment immigrants = rich people

At present, when it comes to American investment immigration, many people think it is the "privilege" of the rich. Actually, this judgment is not accurate. In reality, many ordinary working-class people emigrate abroad, far more than "rich people". It can be counted as an account: American EB5 investment immigration policy stipulates that the investment principal is generally 500,000 US dollars, plus related project management fees, attorney fees, application fees, etc. To sum up, for a family of three (children under 265,438+0 years old), the cost of investing in immigration to the United States is about 580,000 US dollars. Although it seems that "more than 3 million RMB" is not a small sum, the preferential policies that investors can enjoy after obtaining a green card are still very cost-effective. Taking children's education as an example, as long as you choose to invest in immigration projects in the United States, you can not only get back the principal of $580,000, but also make it easy for your children to attend prestigious schools.
