This strategy has paid off , as He is considering expanding to other Chinese cities and opening subsidiaries in the US .
UNRAVELING THE COMPLEXITIES OF THE EB-5 VISA PROGRAM
He says 80 % of his Chinese client base first chooses the U . S . employment and investor visa programs , followed by Canada , the European Union , and Australia .
