How can American investment immigrants avoid scheduling under the new EB-5 bill?

There are many ways to immigrate to America. Among them, EB5 is an investment immigrant, and there is no scheduled new channel, so the approval is very fast. EB-5 has very relaxed requirements for applicants, and there are no threshold restrictions such as age, language and education. There is no need to start your own business, and there is no need to run your own business. One person applies and the whole family gets a green card.

As long as the following conditions are met, you can apply:

1. Investment fund requirements: 800,000 USD (tea area) or 6,543.8+0,500 USD (non-tea area).

2. Requirements for job creation: According to the reasonable identification method, it is proved that there are not less than 65,438+00 full-time jobs (including green card holders, American citizens, American work card holders, etc.). , but not including the applicant himself) is directly or indirectly created by enterprises that create employment opportunities through investment.

3. Requirements for legal sources of investment funds: legal sources can be: real estate mortgage, salary income, gifts or bequests from relatives and friends, real estate trading, stock and securities trading, retained by contracting enterprises, legal dividends of the company, etc.

4. Age requirement for accompanying children: no more than 2 1 year.

Investment fund requirements: 800,000 USD (tea area) or 6,543,800 USD+0,500 USD (non-tea area).

In March, 2022, EB-5 Regional Center Act re-authorized for five years, until September 30, 2027. One of the most striking changes is to reserve 3,200 visa places for EB-5 investors in each fiscal year, which are divided into three categories:

20% of visas are reserved for projects in rural areas, and * * * 2000 visas are reserved;

10% visa is reserved for urban projects with high unemployment rate, * * * 1 0,000 visa;

2% visas are reserved for infrastructure projects, and ***200 visas are reserved.

The concept of visa reservation can be understood as "eating alone". The reserved visa quota is limited to rural or urban areas. Even if the quota is not used up, it will be left over to the next year. If there is surplus in the second year, it will be released to other areas for further digestion. Generally speaking, it is queued in the area.

Judging from the legislative logic of the new law, only new investors can use it at present, and the quota will not be squeezed by history, which means that applicants can get green cards as soon as possible. According to this policy, under the condition of sufficient visa quota, personnel in the United States can submit I-526 (temporary condition green card) and I-485 identity adjustment form at the same time. You can also submit I-765 (work card) and I- 13 1 (travel card) application forms when submitting I485. After these two applications (estimated to be 6- 12 months) are passed, you will be given a combo (work card and travel card in one) card. This combination card is equivalent to a quasi-green card. Before the green card is approved, the activities of holding this card in the United States will not be restricted.
