Association to Invest in USA (IIUSA) points out that the EB-5 immigrants contributed to U.S.' economy about $3 billion last year. But there are many issues of EB-5 programs. Because more than 80% applicants are Chinese investors, Chinese investors often become the target of fraud group.

Industry experts suggest investors currently it is the gold application period for EB-5 investment immigration projects. The best way is to select the safe and fast investment immigration projects as soon as possible to seize the visa quota.
