For last five years, Chinese investors have overwhelmed the
EB-5 program and have
resulted in tens of thousands of petitions. However, since last year
there is a sharp decline of investors from China due to retrogression
and tighter control of foreign exchange by Chinese government. It has
been quite difficult for Chinese citizens to sign up EB-5 program as
many investors would not be able to get their funds or path of fund
verified as USCIS required. Instead of coming to the US, many investors
have discovered their new interest in investing in Thailand, Cambodia,
Malaysia and other European countries.
Despite
uncertainties around the EB-5 immigration investor program, some
Chinese
families with young children are still interested in investing in the
program and setting up their children's education plan. Families with
teenager are encouraging their teens to file EB-5 petitions on their own
before Trump administration eventually closes door of the US, as many
people believe that President Trump's immigration policy is not quite
friendly to wealthy investors.
Since
many US developers are turning their attention to markets of Vietnam,
India, Taiwan and other countries, fewer US EB-5 projects are now
available in the China market and fewer Chinese migration agencies are
marketing them. EB-5 market in China is less crowded in 2018. Targeting
the right investor pools can be critical for raising EB-5 capital this
year in China. To learn more about current status of EB-5 market and
