The revision of the EB5 bill of the U.S. investment immigration program has attracted the attention of many applicants who intend to go to the United States. The two advantages of no waiting time, double delivery, and obtaining a combo card (small green card) have become a highly praised way of immigration to the United States.
The new law sets aside 3,200 green cards per year for TEA regional projects and infrastructure projects, with no backlogs!!
20% of the visas are reserved for projects in rural areas (2,000 visas);
10% of visas are reserved for projects in areas with high unemployment rates (1,000 visas);
2% of the visa is reserved for infrastructure projects (200 visas).
Advantages of EB5 for U.S. investment immigration.
Compared with other immigration requirements, the EB5 application requirements are not particularly strict, and there are no requirements in terms of academic qualifications and language.
Like EB1A and NIW projects, the applicant's academic requirements are very strict and clear, but the EB5 project was originally to introduce foreign investment and assist in the construction of some areas.
Apply to become a resident and enjoy benefits.
The EB5 new policy is still relatively simple in the application process, and after the application is approved, the investor immigration applicant can get a temporary green card, and after a certain period of time, he can apply to the immigration bureau to become a resident, and he can enjoy the benefits of a U.S. resident.
Realize the migration of the whole family.
In addition to the above two points, the United States EB5 immigration also has a very big advantage, that is, the whole family immigration can be realized, if the main applicant submits the immigration application, then his spouse or unmarried children can submit the immigration application as a secondary applicant, after the success of the children can also study in various colleges and universities in the United States, enjoy the same educational resources as American students, and the whole family can enjoy the United States medical benefits and social welfare.
The advantage of the new EB5 immigration policy in the United States is that if the applicant is in the United States, he can submit an immigration application + a green card application at the same time. This has never been done before, and you can get a work permit 2-3 months after submitting the application for a green card, which greatly solves the problem of difficulty in finding a job for graduates.
Specifically, for international students in the United States, they can submit an application for change of status (I-485) at the same time as the application for investment immigration (I-526**), and have legal status during their studies, and do not need to apply for an F1 student visa, and do not need to apply for OPT after graduation, nor do they need to be sponsored by their employer to apply for a work visa, and they can easily work in the United States.
In the "dual filing" process, the petitioner and the dependents apply for work authorization (I-765) and travel authorization (I-131) and receive approval for work authorization and travel authorization, and the applicant and his or her family can legally work in the United States and enter and leave the United States temporarily, even if they have not been granted a green card for the time being.
In short, the EB5 investment immigration package in the United States solves a series of problems such as the difficulty of international students finding jobs in the United States and the low H1B lottery rate.
