Do you need to live in the United States for a long time to apply for EB5 investment immigration?

The EB-5 investment immigration project in the United States was implemented on 1990, with the aim of attracting overseas investment immigrants to invest in the United States and creating employment opportunities. This visa has 10000 places every year. According to this scheme, foreign immigrant applicants can obtain a two-year conditional immigrant visa by investing in the United States to create commercial enterprises beneficial to the American economy and creating 65,438+00 full-time employment opportunities for American workers. 90 days before the expiration of the two-year period, if the investment behavior of immigrant investors still exists, they can apply for "conditional removal" and become permanent residents. The investment of this program is 654.38 million dollars. If the investment object is located in the target employment area, the investment amount can be reduced to 500 thousand dollars.

EB-5 has quite loose requirements for applicants, and there are no restrictions on business background, age, education level and language ability, as long as it is proved that its investment funds are legally obtained (including personal accumulated income, gift, inheritance, etc.). If one person applies, the whole family (spouse and unmarried children under 2 1 year old) can get a green card at the same time. After successful application, you can freely choose to live in any city in the United States or continue to work and live in China.

At present, most American immigration projects are "regional center" projects (commonly known as EB-5 projects), and there are many areas to choose from, such as South Dakota, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, Mississippi and other investment immigration projects. Australian immigrants believe that although the investment amount of these projects is generally small, which can reduce the burden on investors, in practice, because China people do not understand the laws, business environment, language and operating costs of the United States, and the government does not provide guarantees, they should be very cautious in risk assessment and project selection before applying.
