美国投资移民：“新EB-5法案”你懂了吗？

wrya5pGg

一份由美国国会参议员格拉斯利和参议员莱西提交的新EB-5法案，意在对美国社区内的外来投资和其就业创造进行改革。一份法案，意味着它还不是一条正式的法律，面临着被通过，被调整或者被否决的命运。然而，这份法案是由参议院的两位杰出的成员所提交，那么它很有可能在2015年9月30日以这样的形式得以通过。


除了以所提议的标准和举措对区域中心进行规范，这份法案还会提出一系列的改变措施，对参与EB-5计划的投资人造成直接影响。最有可能出现的变化，将会是在目标就业区内进行投资的最小资金数额将由50万美元上涨为80万美元，以及在目标就业区外的最小投资数额将由100万美元上涨为120万美元。这项改变将很有可能在2015年9月发生。

在创造就业方面，这份法案将限制间接就业在EB-5创造就业总数中所占的比例，将对间接就业进行更为严格的限制。这份法案十分倾向于创造较多直接就业的模式，例如CP长者屋的就业创造模式。

该法案还提出，对美国移民局可接受的投资资金的潜在来源作出调整。该法案指出，只有直系亲属，例如父母，祖父母，外祖父母，兄弟姐妹，或配偶，才可对EB-5投资人进行资金赠与。法案中另一条款还对以贷款为来源的投资资金做出了限制，即，只有银行或其他被认可的金融机构发放的贷款才可被EB-5投资人用作投资。

假设，在偶然情况下，这份法案和其他法案未能通过，且区域中心计划被撤销，其直接后果将会是大部分处于待审理状态的EB-5移民申请将会被拒，且多数申请人将会失去他们在等待队伍中的位置。最终，在法案被拒之前提交的不需要区域中心支持I-526申请将会在等待队伍中获得更加靠前的位置。

这份法案在2015年9月30日兼有被通过和被拒绝的可能。如果法案被通过，那么为了参与EB-5计划进行移民您将付出更高昂的资金。如果法案未被通过，且您已投资了CP长者屋项目，那么届时您将在等待的队伍中占有更加靠前的位置。请不要再等待，现在就投资CP长者屋吧!

　　“THE NEW EB-5 BILL”

A new bill, submitted by Senators Grassley and Leahy, seeks to promote and reform foreign capital investment and job creation in American communities. It is a bill which means it is not a law as of yet, and could still be passed, modified or even denied. However, since the bill was submitted by two of the Senate’s prominent members, it is likely to be passed in so form by September 30, 2015.

In addition to proposed standards and measures regulating of regional centers, the bill would also institute changes that would directly affect the EB-5 program investors. There most certainly will be an increase in the minimum amount of capital for investments in Targeted Employment Areas from 敬500,000 to 骁800,000 and for investments outside of Targeted Employment Areas from 笙1,000,000 to 旃1,200,000. This change will likely take effect in September 2015.

In regards to job creation, the bill would the ability to use indirect jobs towards the overall job creation requirement would be become more restricted. The creation of direct jobs, which is what CP Homes projects create, appears to be favored in the bill.

The bill also proposes changes to the potential sources of EB-5 funds acceptable to USCIS. In the bill only immediate family members, such as parents, grandparents, siblings or spouses, could gift money to the EB-5 investor. In another proposal, the bill would place limits the funds originating from a loan. Only banks or other approved financial institutions could lend money that the investor uses for his EB-5 investment.

If by chance that this bill or any other bill fails to get passed than the regional center program would get cancelled. As an immediate consequence of this, a majority of the currently pending I-526 petitions would be denied and the petitioners would lose their place in line. As a result, those who submit I-526 without regional center sponsorship before the bill gets denied would go to the front of line.

The bill will either fail or get passed by September 30, 2015. If it passes, you will have to pay more to participate in the EB-5 program. If it fails and you’d already invested in CP Homes, you’d be able to get to the front of the EB-5 visa line much much sooner. Don’t wait. Invest now.
