How long does it take to apply for American investment immigration?

It takes about 1 year from the preparation of materials to the interview and marking of the US Consulate in Guangzhou, but there is no doubt that this time may increase in the future. Judging from the recent approval trend of the US Immigration Bureau, with the increasing number of people applying for EB-5 investment immigration, the Immigration Bureau will strengthen the approval of cases more and more, so the approval time may be extended.

Can I retain my China nationality when applying for investment immigration?

Of course, you can keep your China nationality. In fact, no matter which investor, from the date of obtaining the conditional green card, must keep China nationality for five years. Only those who have obtained green cards (including conditional green cards) for five years can apply for American citizenship, but they must live in the United States for at least 2.5 years during these five years, that is, they must live in the United States for half a year or more on average.

My father can provide me with funds. Can I use the funds to invest in American EB-5 immigrants and apply for a green card?

Of course. Gifts from family members or others can be used to invest in immigrants after paying the required gift tax. However, it is still necessary to provide written proof of the legal source of funds. For example, funds obtained through legal means such as business operation, salary, investment, sales, inheritance, gift and credit are all legal funds.

What is a conditional green card?

Conditional green card is a temporary green card valid for 2 years. Within three months before the expiration of the two-year period, the investor needs the immigration bureau to apply for a change of identity. As long as the investor's investment really exists and directly or indirectly creates 10 employment opportunities (investing in the "regional center"), it will be approved by the immigration bureau to become a permanent resident, that is, to obtain a permanent green card.

My main business is in China. Will my long absence from the United States affect my application for a formal green card in the future?

It makes no difference. After obtaining the conditional green card, there is no law that the holder of the conditional green card needs to live in the United States all the time and can freely enter and leave the United States, but each time he leaves the United States for no more than six months. If you want to leave the United States for more than 6 months, you need to submit a "white paper" application with the assistance of a lawyer, and the longest departure time cannot exceed 2 years.

Can I start my own company after investing in the United States? Are there any immigration restrictions?

Absolutely. What kind of company to start, how to operate and how many people to employ are not within the jurisdiction of the immigration bureau.

Immigration investment in regional centers in the United States does not require investors to prove that "investment has directly or indirectly created 10 jobs for American workers", so investors do not need to care about this issue at all?

According to whether the regional center "directly or indirectly creates employment opportunities for American workers", the Immigration Bureau proposes that each project must submit its own calculation model to prove it, and the calculation model must also be proved by an authoritative organization. Investment also needs to know this information, which is not only related to the success of immigration application, but also a crucial assessment standard for converting temporary green cards into formal green cards in the future.
