a 7.1 % of the per-country limit . Therefore , very limited visa numbers are available to Chinese investors . The number of people in China who are capable and interested in EB-5 far exceeds that of most countries in the world .”
Therefore , He cautions the U . S . government to rise to the challenge and increase quotas for Chinese investors if they want to maintain their interest focused on the program .
“ If the US government does not launch a policy that can fundamentally solve the problem of EB-5 visa numbers restrictions , the benefits of the RIA policy will soon disappear for Chinese investors ,” he said .
SELECTING THE RIGHT PROJECT FOR EB-5 CLIENTS FOR A HIGH SUCCESS RATE
So far , his agency offers projects from regional centers ( RC ) only , and the current selection criteria assesses two risks : immigration and financial . Guangzhou Qiaoliang agents separately gauge the projects and the regional center ’ s strengths and weaknesses , including the legitimacy of offering documents , business plan , size and capital composition , job creation numbers , exit strategy , repayment terms , investor protection , guarantees , and the RC ’ s success rate .
The projects must meet these RIA requirements and
satisfy the U . S . national interest or humanitarian needs . If these conditions are met , the agency helps clients file their I-956F and the I-526E for expedited processing .
“ In this way , the fastest processing time can be achieved for our clients so that they can minimize the impact if the visa numbers for projects under RIA policy are not enough in the future . Of course , the safety of the project is still our priority ,” he said .
Ensuring this success rate and investment safety requires his agency and clients to enter a lengthy service cycle of seven to ten years of dedication and trust , from project selection to fund return .
“ However , there ' s an aspect often underestimated by immigration companies or lawyers — the high level of attention given to the client ' s immigration case and the proactive assessment of the client ' s background ,” he suggests .
Accordingly , he cautions that every EB-5 investor should research the level of dedication an immigration agency provides when handling their application .
“ While choosing the right investment project is important , the selection of a competent intermediary service provider is equally crucial . If the chosen agency lacks expertise , a strong capacity to learn , and a sense of responsibility , it becomes difficult to effectively navigate the increasingly strict requirements of USCIS and U . S . Consulates .”
