Comparing with EB-5 ’ s relatively high demand on net worth and the lengthening queue of backlog , EB-1A is particularly attractive to Chinese investors thanks to its low expenses and efficiency . With all supporting documentation in place , one will be able to obtain a green card in one year .
This is an unparalleled advantage of EB-1A over EB-5 . Chinese investors who are trapped in the retrogression quagmire and who do not want to be left in such a situation are in desperate need of an alternative . And EB-1A provides an ideal solution to them .
Moreover , the EB route encompasses more tempting options than just EB-1A . EB-1C , immigration visa for managers and executive transferees , opens the gate to an even larger market .
" EB-5 has been a strong program for a long time and Chinese practitioners have accumulated a tremendous amount of experience ..."
This is not to say that we will forsake our EB-5 business and desert everything we know about this specific market . EB-5 has been a strong program for a long time and Chinese practitioners have accumulated a tremendous amount of experience and built great partnerships out of it . These valuable assets equip us with the right ammunition to assist our EB-1 clients better .
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE IN THE EB-1A MARKET AND WHAT ARE SOME CONCERNS YOUR CLIENTS HAVE ABOUT EB-1A ?
EB-1A is a very selective program with strict requirements that need to be satisfied . For migration agents , the biggest challenge lies in the customization of immigration strategies which could best couple the achievements of each investor with the EB- 1A criteria . Most of our EB-1A clients have concerns about the effectiveness of the immigration strategy crafted for them , which is completely understandable .
After all , the highly individualized nature of EB-1A makes it almost impossible to find a “ one size for all ” tactic for all applications . The uncertainty of every case incurs clients ’ hesitation and anxiety ; it also presents new challenges to practitioners like us .
Many potential Chinese EB-5 investors already hold executive positions in multinational companies with extensive experience in investment and business operation .
This is an option that fits them perfectly . Based on what we have heard from our clients , agency peers , U . S . investment groups and immigration attorneys , we estimated that the scale for EB-1C in China is three times as much as that of EB-1A .
