With a US Green Card, children can not only attend top public K-12 schools for free but also have an admission rate to Ivy League and other top universities that is over 9 times higher than that of international students.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Is there still a backlog for EB-5?

Under the 2022 EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA), investments in rural (20%), high unemployment (10%), or infrastructure projects (2%) enjoy reserved visa quotas. Currently, reserved visas in these three categories have **no backlog**, making it the only legal fast-track to the US for mainland China-born applicants.

What is Concurrent Filing?

For applicants legally residing within the US (e.g., holding F-1 student or H-1B work visas), they can file I-485 (Adjustment of Status), I-765 (EAD), and I-131 (Advance Parole) directly alongside the I-526E immigrant petition. This allows international students to obtain legal work and free travel rights in the US within a few months, completely breaking free from employer constraints.

Is the Source of Funds (SOF) explanation difficult?

The core review of EB-5 is the Source of Funds. USCIS accepts salary income, real estate mortgages, company dividends, and even gifts from family and friends. As long as a complete logical loop of funds can be formed and complete bank statements and tax records are provided with the help of a lawyer, it can be passed smoothly.
