20 18 which immigration applications in the United States do not have to wait for immigration scheduling?

Speaking of American immigrants, of course, not everyone is suitable for EB5 "and" not everyone has to wait in line for EB-5 ". Let's talk about which immigration applications in the United States don't have to wait for the 20 18 immigration schedule.

Investing $500,000 to apply for EB-5 investment immigration in the United States has been widely known by China investors and immigrants, and has become the most mainstream way for the rich to immigrate to the United States. However, in the past year or two, due to the long waiting time and the long-discussed policies of "reform" and "price increase", many investors have gradually lost their patience.

Applicants who wish to immigrate to the United States, if their achievements in their own fields are better than the average level and can be proved, can consider EB-1A, which can be used as a substitute for EB-5.

The advantage of the traditional way of immigrating to the United States by investing 500,000 US dollars is that the requirements for applicants are simple: investing 500,000 US dollars in an American business project, under the normal operation of the project, the applicant's family can get an American green card, and the principal of 500,000 US dollars can be returned within a certain period of time (usually five years). However, EB-5 is a "pre-announcement", and such projects have normal commercial operation risks. Of the nearly 5,000 EB5 projects promoted every year, only about 450 are really good projects, which shows the high risk.

Even so, with the rapid growth of China's asset value, this mode of immigration has become very low, and a large number of China people immigrated to the United States through EB-5 investment, which objectively slowed down the trial. According to the schedule date announced by the US Immigration Bureau, if you submit your application now, you will generally have to wait 16.7 months to know whether your application is approved (that is, I-526 approval).

After approval, they will go to the consulate in Guangzhou, USA to queue up for an interview. At present, the priority date is 2065438+February 65438+May 2004. In other words, after being approved, the applicant needs to wait another 2-3 years to get a 2-year American green card. It takes about four or five years before and after. For this kind of application cycle, many investors can accept it, because the child is still young and I don't want to get a green card right away. I just want to apply early now to prepare for the future, which is equivalent to preparing one more option.

EB-5 may not be for you.

If your child is over 18 years old.

American immigration policy stipulates that when obtaining a green card, the "calculated age" of children cannot exceed 2 1 year. The "calculated age" here refers to the age when the immigration application is submitted, plus the time waiting for the immigration visa after I-526 is approved. Therefore, if we predict that it will take three years to get an immigrant visa, then the age of the child at the time of application should not exceed 2 1-3= 18.

If you want to get an American green card as soon as possible

It is also a very common demand for China applicants to let their children study in the United States as soon as possible, because studying in the United States as a green card is much more advantageous than studying locally as an international student. Many people who have applied for the EB-5 category usually find it difficult to wait for an immigrant visa if they want their children to go to school as a green card as soon as possible. Let's consider other methods.

Use your specialty to add points.

The most unfair thing in the world is that you spend 500 thousand dollars, but you have to wait in line; And he only spent $654.38 million+,but he didn't need to wait in line.

Although different types of immigration projects can not be compared abruptly only by investment and cycle, they are not suitable for EB-5 investors. If other conditions are met, there can be more suitable immigration channels.

EB- 1A, an American immigrant with excellent talents, has some specific advantages over EB-5. When you hear "outstanding talents", you may immediately think of high-level celebrities such as Nobel Prize winners, Olympic champions, artists and business celebrities. However, according to American immigration law, the "outstanding talents" identified in EB- 1A category refer to people with special talents and high achievements in their professional fields, including five categories: science, art, education, sports, business and more, with a wide range.

Then, how to ensure that the applicant's "grades" meet the requirements of "outstanding talents"?

Talent quota is more relaxed.

According to the regulations, either the applicant has won a major international award or not, and three of the ten conditions must be met before applying. For example, he made an original contribution in the applicant's field; Is a member of a professional association, only outstanding achievements can join; Professional journals publish or important media report their achievements and publish their works; As a professional judge in his field; The salary in related fields is much higher than that of peers; The commercial success of performance and art is reflected in box office and film sales. ...

These conditions constitute the EB- 1A selection framework formulated by the US Immigration Bureau, with a full score of 100 and above 30, which basically meets the application requirements, and the success of the application can be confirmed after evaluation; Those below 30 points can't meet the requirements of EB-1a.

The annual visa quota for American elite immigrants is 40,000, which is equivalent to 1 0,000 families (4 people in each family). There are so many places, but the real celebrity experts are limited, far from reaching the full quota every year. Therefore, excellent talent is a relative concept, which can be understood as relative to others in your field, as long as you are better than the average.

EB- 1A free evaluation

Immigration to the United States through EB- 1A is very fast. After submitting the application, you will know whether it has passed within 15 working days (I- 140 for short). After approval, you won't have to wait for a long time because of the shortage of visa places like EB-5, but you can get an immigrant visa within a few months. "Of course, the time required to prepare the application documents depends on the complexity of the applicant's documents. According to experience, this part takes 3-6 months. "

What is important is that the trial and error cost of EB- 1A is low. If it is not approved, only a small amount of document processing costs will be lost. Many people only know that EB-5 is an option to immigrate to the United States. No matter what specific conditions they have, they are unwilling to "make trouble" and look for suitable immigration routes. Applicants can learn about the immigration of outstanding talents to the United States first. If you can, you can apply for EB- 1A first, which is fast, low-cost and has no investment risk. If there is no approval, it is not too late to start investing another 500 thousand dollars and immigrate to the United States.

This is the case with Mr. H who has just been approved recently. At the age of 40, he is the general manager of a technology company, and it has always been his wish for his family to immigrate to the United States. However, it is difficult to immigrate to the United States. Mr. H once thought EB-5 was the simplest and most direct way for him. While the investment of $500,000 has not increased, he intends to try it quickly. However, after analysis, we found that Mr. H is a scientific and technological personnel and the core leader of the company. He holds many patent certificates and awards, and is also a member of many professional associations. It is these experiences that he has neglected that make him meet the application conditions of EB-1a.

So I gave up the original plan to apply for EB-5 and applied for EB- 1A excellent talent immigration instead. It took less than two months from submission to successful approval. Compared with the annual scheduling time of EB-5, its approval speed is fast and it saves a lot of money. It is important that children can enter American colleges and universities immediately without waiting. If we wait a few more years, Mr. and Mrs. H are worried that the children will not be able to accompany them because of age restrictions.

Therefore, as long as their own conditions are met, it is not necessary to waste people and money to immigrate to the United States through EB- 1A talents, and they need to wait for scheduling and investment. As long as there are talents, they can save money. Many industries, such as film and television producers, producers, coaches, company partners who have made professional inventions, and even outstanding students who have been admitted to foreign universities in advance, may have EB- 1A immigration conditions.
