Regional center refers to any public or private economic entity aimed at promoting economic growth, improving regional productivity, creating employment opportunities and increasing domestic investment. If EB-5 investors invest in "regional centers" with high unemployment rate, they only need to invest 500,000 US dollars, and they are allowed to be counted as "indirectly created" jobs. 1992 "investment immigration experimental project" was born, which was initially valid until 2000.

Advantages of American regional center investment immigrants

There are two types of investment immigrants in the United States: one is a traditional project, which requires investors to invest 1 10,000 dollars to set up or are actively preparing to set up a new business enterprise, and create at least 10 direct full-time jobs within two years after investors have a temporary green card. The other is the regional center project, with an investment of 500,000 yuan through the investment immigration regional center approved by the Immigration Bureau. Applicants do not need to directly participate in daily operation and management, and the 10 jobs created can be direct or indirect. Because most applicants have no experience in running companies in the United States, more applicants choose the second category-EB-5 regional center immigration.

Los Angeles was one of the first cities to be approved to establish a regional center. Therefore, many regional centers in Los Angeles have long-term operating experience, solid foundation, good reputation and return rate, and have successfully obtained green cards for many investors. Some of these investment resettlement projects have been going on for several years, and now they have entered the second or third phase of the project. The start-up capital undertaken by the project party is fully in place, the business plan is mature and the investment insurance coefficient is high.

Employment-oriented professional immigrants have five priority categories: (EB- 1, EB-2, EB-3, EB-4, EB-5).

EB- 1 The first priority level includes three subcategories:

EB- 1A special talents

EB- 1B distinguished professor or researcher

EB- 1C executives of multinational companies. The first priority is characterized by the fact that there is no need to prove the shortage of labor force and the number of immigrants is abundant, but the beneficiaries are required to have great achievements or energy.

The second priority of EB-2 includes two categories: unconventional national interest exemption (NIW) and conventional EB2 work permit PERM. NIW does not need jobs, labor shortage certificates and employer support. For the traditional EB2, the employer must prove the shortage of labor. The work of an employer should require at least a master's degree or above, or a bachelor's degree plus five years of work experience.

The third priority of EB-3 includes two categories: applying for a green card requires a bachelor's degree or at least two years of technical experience and is classified into a small category. Those who do not require academic qualifications and skills are classified into another subcategory.

EB-3 employers also need to prove labor shortage.

EB-4 fourth priority: religious visa. This requires church organizations to come forward. Beneficiaries should serve the Ministry of the church.
