How to choose an American immigration agency

I. Professionalism, Agency Projects and Follow-up Services of Immigration Intermediary Companies

1. Qualification, strength and experience of immigration agencies.

Now Guangdong and other places have liberalized immigration permits, that is, immigration companies no longer need entry and exit business licenses, nor do they need to submit a deposit of 2 million yuan to the supervision account. However, American investment immigration is, after all, a risky investment behavior with a long time span. When the market is liberalized, intermediary companies without qualifications and strength are often more prone to problems, and these small companies often can't solve the problems and choose to run away. Therefore, even if Guangdong does not need an immigration license, when the market has just been liberalized and a large number of companies have poured into this industry, applicants applying for investment immigration in the United States still depend on whether the intermediary companies have obtained immigration qualifications in the past. This industry is very particular about experience. If you choose an intermediary company whose establishment date in the business license is less than 15, you must be cautious.

2. Professionalism of immigration intermediary companies

As mentioned above, the qualifications and experience of immigration intermediary companies are concerned. Then, does the immigration intermediary company have legal qualifications, and can it be entrusted with confidence after it has been established for more than ten or twenty years? Not necessarily, because some immigration agencies are very old, but they are not good at American immigration. With Canada, Australia, Hong Kong and other countries and regions closing investment immigration channels or raising investment immigration threshold, many immigration companies turn their business focus to the United States. Then the problem is coming. These immigration companies are not good at American business, and there are often problems in document processing, which leads to repeated filling of materials by applicants, which seriously delays the application time and brings very complicated troubles to applicants. In addition, this kind of immigration institution is unprofessional, which may even lead to the applicant being refused a visa by the consulate, thus leading to the failure of investment immigration.

From a professional point of view, we should choose an immigration intermediary company that has been established for a long time, mainly engaged in American immigration business for a long time, with rich operations and many successful cases.

3. Immigration agency project

The key to the success of American investment immigrants lies in the choice of projects. Therefore, when handling American investment immigrants to choose immigration intermediary companies, the focus should also be on the safety of the projects represented by immigration companies. Strictly speaking, investment is risky, and there is no 100% safe project. What applicants need to do is to choose the EB-5 project with the lowest risk. I can't say a word about the choice of the project. I have the opportunity to write an article to explain it separately. I would like to remind friends who intend to apply for immigration to the United States that immigration companies, regional centers and EB-5 projects must be independent of each other in order to play the role of mutual audit and fair evaluation. Some immigration companies are both immigration intermediaries, project parties and even regional centers. These events which are both referees and athletes are very unreasonable and prone to problems.

4. Follow-up service capacity of immigration agencies.

After immigrating to the United States, a considerable number of new immigrants need professional institutions to provide them with services, such as airport pick-up, buying and renting houses, taking driver's licenses, choosing school districts, applying for admission, and turning green cards into formal jobs. If the immigration agency can provide these services seamlessly, it will be very convenient and worry-free, which is also something to consider when handling American investment immigration. It is worth mentioning that almost all immigration agencies claim to provide port services in the United States, but some of them only have one address or are contracted by local cooperative organizations, so it is difficult to provide such services. If the immigration agency has a local branch, and appoints China employees who are familiar with the mainland situation and employs American employees who are familiar with the local business, it can really provide efficient and professional services.

Second, choose reliable institutions.

In recent years, the number of overseas immigrants in China has shown a sustained and rapid growth momentum, and the main destination countries are Canada, Australia, the United States and New Zealand. After 2000, investment immigrants increased significantly. Prior to this, the ratio of investment immigrants to skilled immigrants was about 1:9, but after 2000, this ratio has gradually reached 4: 6.

According to industry veterans, the significant change in the proportion of investment immigrants and skilled immigrants is closely related to the domestic and international environment. For skilled immigrants, the economies of the United States and Canada are depressed and the unemployment rate is rising. It is difficult for China people to find jobs in these countries through skilled migration, but in China, where the economy is growing at a high speed, there are many job opportunities for relevant talents.

With the increasing number of rich people in China, the number of overseas investment immigrants has increased, which is contributed by many factors. First, most of these immigrant receiving countries are countries with extremely high education levels. After getting a green card, children can enjoy free or preferential basic education and higher education, which is more cost-effective than sending their children abroad to study. Secondly, after getting the green card, you can increase many business opportunities, such as doing business with your mobile phone, which can save intermediate links and so on.

However, the industry veteran reminded that with the changes of immigration policies in various countries, people who are preparing to apply for immigration at present must be very cautious when choosing a legal immigration institution with strength and credibility. If you fall into the trap of illegal immigration agencies, you may lose a lot.

When choosing an immigration intermediary, firstly, it depends on whether the "double certificates" (that is, the "business qualification certificate for private entry and exit intermediaries" issued by the public security department and the legal person qualification certificate issued by the industrial and commercial department) are complete; Second, it depends on whether the signed contract clearly States "unsuccessful, the money received will be refunded in full"; Thirdly, to examine whether the immigration agency has strong strength depends not only on its past history and reputation, but also on its steady development. If there is an overwhelming point, companies that invest too much money should also be vigilant.

Third, beware of the intermediary trap

20 10 In August, Mr. Li saw a grand and beautifully arranged activity in the lobby of a hotel in Beijing. Through understanding, Mr. Li learned that it was Beijing Hengrui Zhao Tong Information Consulting Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hengrui Company") that was holding the promotion meeting of immigration projects.

As a family with high school students, it is about to face the pressure of college entrance examination. It is a vague yearning for Mr. Li to immigrate to the United States and let his children have a relaxed learning environment in the United States. More and more relatives and friends around him are also planning and implementing.

On this day, through the recommendation of the salesman, Mr. Li's heart was suddenly enlightened. In the application process of EB-5 investment immigration program in the United States, applicants usually get two American visas, I-526 visa and I-829 visa. I-526 visa and I-829 visa are both American green cards. After getting these two visas, the rights and obligations enjoyed by the parties are basically the same as those of full American citizens. The timeliness of both is different. I-526 is valid for two years, and I-829 is permanent. In Hengrui Company located in the international trade circle, the salesman showed many successful cases to Mr. Ali.

According to Mr. Li's situation, the scheme and promise given by Henry Company is that I-526 (application for immigration of foreign entrepreneurs) will not be approved after Mr. Li has handed in the form, or I-829 (permanent green card and unconditional green card of the United States) will be rejected after two years of entry, and the company will assist customers to inform project investors to refund 500,000 US dollars. If the project investor fails to make a smooth refund within half a year, the company will be responsible for returning 500,000 US dollars to Mr. Li within three months.

"They gave me a brochure saying that it will be completed in 8 ~ 12 months after you sign the contract and the funds are in place. I am still a little uneasy, and the other party gave me a letter of guarantee. " Six years later, the day when Mr. Li mentioned signing the contract, he could still remember his expectation and trust.

On 20 10, 10, Mr. Li signed an agreement with Henry Company, stipulating that Henry Company would be solely responsible for handling his application for American investment immigration. According to the agreement, Mr. Li paid the investment and service fees, but the investment immigration project provided by Henry Company was not successful.
