You can immigrate to the United States for 500 thousand dollars? Is it really that easy?

Now EB-5 faces multiple dilemmas. The first is the price increase, which is said to have risen to 800,000 US dollars. Of course, this is not what the applicant fears; The real threat is the Senate, which frequently attacks the closure of EB-5. Although it is basically impossible, it is indeed an immediate threat.

Then, in addition to the basic investment of 500,000 US dollars, how much specific cost will it take to complete the immigration? First of all, let's look at the specific investment cost requirements of the government:

Secondly, let us explain to you the investment and expenses required by service providers:

1, project investment
