According to survey data from the Pew Research Center in the United States, the number of people naturalized to the United States in 2021 reached its highest peak in nearly 15 years, with about 940,000 becoming new American citizens.
Everyone says that the United States is not good, but it just can't stop people from running there.
It seems that sometimes you really don’t listen to what a person says, but look at where his butt is sitting.
At present, it seems that the United States is still the most popular country for Chinese immigrants, and it will still be very attractive in the future.
The current situation is that the demand is too large and the channels are too few.
Nowadays, Chinese people want to immigrate to the United States, and there are fewer and fewer ways to use it.
There are two main ways for Chinese to immigrate to the United States, professional immigration and relative immigration.
Relative immigration requires you to have immediate family members in the United States, so "fake marriage" in the United States has also become a business, but the risk of immigration to "fake marriage" is very high. The US Immigration Bureau strictly investigates that once you are caught, your immigration status will be revoked. And it is easy to "lose the wife and the army."
Professional immigration is a legal and compliant channel, but the threshold will be relatively high.
Take the Chinese favorite US EB-5 visa as an example. Simply put, it is to spend $800,000 in exchange for a US green card.
The bill stipulates that if foreign investors invest at least $500,000 in the project designated by the United States and create 10 jobs, they can obtain a US green card in five years.
Since 2008, investors from mainland China have become the main source of this investment immigration project - accounting for 82% of the total approved volume.
Since there are too many applicants in mainland China, the schedule began to appear in 2015. Investors from mainland China may have to wait at least six years from the start of applying to obtaining a visa and eventually immigrating to the United States.
, and this waiting time is getting longer and longer. Now it basically starts in 10 years, up to 15 years.
As of November 2021, the US Immigration Bureau has accumulated a total of 52,366 investment immigration applications, of which 44,357 were from mainland China, accounting for 84.8% of the total number. In other words, 44,357 Chinese people have paid at least $500,000 (the price has increased to $800,000-900,000 in the past two years) and are waiting in line, and this money is likely to have been paid for 5 or 6 years.
The long waiting has made the Chinese rich lose their patience. There was even a news some time ago that someone had been waiting for 10 years but had not yet waited for the US green card, so he suffered from depression .
So, over the years, many Chinese rich people have given up on US investment immigration, and they are looking for other ways to quickly get US green cards.
For example, the United States ranked first in review " Outstanding Talent Immigration ". This is a fast immigration channel set up by the United States to attract top global talents.
