The secret of American investment immigration fraud

According to the US "World Journal" report, FBI and Immigration agents raided the home and office of Chen Yingying, a Chinese immigrant lawyer in California, on the 5th local time, accusing her of investing in immigrant visa fraud. Insiders pointed out that in the EB-5 investment immigration case in California, the usual methods of suspected fraud are "fake investment, real loan, getting a green card and paying back the money", and the proportion of fraud cases in investment immigration cases is as high as 70%, which is quite amazing.

Lawyer Liu Longzhu, who is practicing in San Gabriel Valley, pointed out that Chen Yingying's suspected investment immigrant visa fraud case is quite representative. According to preliminary statistics, she has accepted more than 65,438+000 investment clients, amounting to 50 million US dollars. Specifically, the amount of each investor is at least $500,000. After the money is deposited in her account, it will be deposited in the bank to generate interest, and this interest will be given to Chen Yingying as a reward. After a period of time, part of the investment will be returned to the customer. This can attract a large number of investors, so that they can get immigrant visas with little money. Three of her guests got green cards.

Liu Longzhu analyzed that the disclosure of Chen Yingying's alleged fraud case was related to her "excessive action and excessive force". For example, one of her guests is Liu Fang, No.66 on China's "Red Wanted Order". Chen Yingying returned most of Liu Fang's investment money in advance, which was not used for commercial development at all. There are nominally three plots of land, but none of them have been developed. She mainly earns money by investing in deposit interest and charging separately in private.

Liu Longzhu revealed that in the investigation report just declassified by the federal court, Xu Jin and Liu Fang, No.66 on the red list, mentioned as 13, were still husband and wife, and both of them participated in the investment fraud case handled by Chen Yingying. After investigation, Xu Jin, former director of the Development and Reform Commission of Wuhan City, Hubei Province, was suspected of accepting bribes and abusing his power. Liu Fang, vice president of China PICC Hubei Branch, was suspected of taking bribes. The two of them left the country with a large amount of stolen money.

Liu Longzhu pointed out that in recent years, Chen Yingying made a lot of money through fraud and bought three houses, of which the most expensive one was in Acadia, worth 3.2 million dollars. She also bought two Porsche and so on.

Another China lawyer, Li Bin, also pointed out that the government issues thousands of visas every year through immigrant investment projects. To qualify for a visa, immigrants must invest at least $500,000 in new or traditional enterprises in the United States to design and create employment opportunities. If a project finally meets the requirements of the visa program, investors will obtain permanent legal residency in the United States.

He analyzed that EB-5 investment projects generally apply for L- 1 visa. One of the usual methods of fraudsters is to collude with investors, open an account in an American company, remit the investment money, and operate in partnership in the name of the company, paying about $50 thousand. However, the money is not really used for investment projects, but for paper work for investors to apply for legal residence status. After the paper formalities are completed, the money will be diverted to other projects or used for personal consumption.
