Chapter II American Investment Immigration Policy

First, it is relatively better to choose projects that have been settled by the government or pre-approved by the Immigration Bureau. First, in order to avoid the audit risk of project materials, priority is given to projects that have been pre-approved by the Immigration Bureau. Whether to obtain pre-approval is the most labor-saving way to screen projects. Of course, other aspects of the project need to be investigated.

Second, choose projects that are clearly in the target employment area, and there is no controversial area; Because the investment standards of investment immigration projects in target employment areas and non-target employment areas are different, it is necessary to avoid retrospective reasons, because the original intention of eb-5 investment immigration is to develop the economy of American tea areas.

Third, the background of the developer: successful experience is the guarantee of the project: in addition to the location, the background investigation of the developer of an EB-5 project is also very important. What are the successful cases of developers in the past, how to operate, how to get a good reputation and so on. , are all issues that applicants need to pay special attention to.

4. Capital structure: According to the degree of the project's dependence on investment funds, immigrant applicants should pay special attention to the proportion of EB-5 investment funds in the whole project, that is, whether the capital structure is conducive to the investor's capital security. The smaller the proportion of EB-5 investment in the capital structure of the whole project, the lower the dependence of the project on EB-5 funds. There are even projects with EB-5 funds accounting for more than 50% in the market. Once there is a problem at the financial level, the project construction will be delayed. Once any link of the project falls off the chain, the repayment of EB-5 funds will be insecure and face risks.

Fifth, employment opportunities: the project must create enough employment opportunities. Whether investors can finally get a permanent green card depends on whether the invested project can create enough employment opportunities for the United States and meet the requirement of creating 1 0 employment opportunities for every EB-5 investor.

Through the above points to evaluate EB-5 project, it should be easier to distinguish the advantages and disadvantages of the project. It has always been a concern of everyone. In the latest administrative proposal, the US Immigration Bureau also proposed to increase the investment in the target employment area from 500,000 to 6,543.8+0.35 million dollars, and the non-target employment area from 6,543.8+0.8 million dollars to 6,543.8+0.8 million dollars.

Extended reading: the cost of American immigration

I. Investment cost

US$ 500,000 is only the minimum investment threshold stipulated by the immigration law, and this threshold is attached with a lot of conditions, such as the need to invest in high unemployment areas or rural areas to solve 10 full-time employment and so on. Either the projects you invest in the regional investment center designated by the Immigration Bureau are all infrastructure projects, so it is no problem to solve the employment problem, but it is unknown when you can recover your investment.

Besides, 500 thousand dollars is not enough. This is just the amount of investment. In addition, you have to pay the handling fee, temporary green card application fee, formal green card application fee and lawyer's fee for two applications, etc. This amount is also quite large, at least tens of thousands of dollars.

Therefore, it is really hard to say how much it costs to apply for a green card. It varies from person to person. Fortunately, in a few years, in addition to recovering the principal, you can also make a fortune. Unfortunately, you may lose 500 thousand. The worst part is that you can't even get a temporary green card. Of course, this is only an extreme situation. In most cases, you may get a green card, but few investments can make money in just two years.

Second, management costs.

Everyone should pay attention to administrative management fees when handling immigration, and the management fees are different in different regions. Usually, the management fee is about 40,000 to 50,000 RMB, but in some areas, there is no management fee, and in some areas, the management fee may be as high as 60,000 USD.

Third, the intermediary service fee

Obtaining a visa is a complicated process, and investors can't understand the complicated knowledge and policy terms, so investors need to hire professional investment consultants to help them to ensure that visas can be obtained normally. However, the prices of domestic intermediary companies vary, generally requiring a service fee of about 70,000 yuan, as well as materials notarization fees and translation fees.

Fourth, immigration attorney fees.

The attorney's fee is generally around $ 1.5 to $2.5, which is mainly used to pay the application fee for I-526 and I-829 and other miscellaneous fees.

To sum up, it should be noted that the total cost of EB-5 green card is only 500,000 USD. Investors should pay attention to these expenses listed above in order to prepare for immigration.
