美國國務院最終發布了美國簽證工作2015年度報告第五部分內容, 其中2015財年所有EB-5簽證的成功申請數據按國家分類更新整理如下。
2015年,美國國務院通過的EB-5簽證量不足1萬件,而在2014年,這一數據超過一萬件。中國仍然是辦理EB-5簽證數量最多的國家,2015年與2014年相比,中國申請人的占比略有下降,中國內地與臺灣總人數加起來占比超過84%。
2015年,越南申請EB-5簽證的增長量節節攀升,從而使得其申請人數一躍攀升至全球第二,而中國、韓國和墨西哥近兩年EB-5簽證申請人數明顯降低。
值得注意的是來自像英國和法屬地區這類島嶼國家的申請人數量,以及那些可能從發展較困難地區通過過渡身份辦理美國移民的申請人數量。
相較2014年,2015年區域中心投資簽證和目標就業區投資簽證更占主導地位,分別占總體簽證數量的98.4%和99.2%。
英文原文內容:
The US Department of State has finally published Section V. of Report of the Visa Office 2015, so we now have figures by country for all EB-5 visas issued in FY2015.
DOS issued over 10,000 EB-5 visas in 2014, and fewer than 10,000 in 2015. China continues to dominate the list of countries, but with a smaller percentage of total visas in 2015 than 2014. Vietnam topped the list of countries claiming an increased number of visas in 2015, while China, South Korea, and Mexico showed significant decrease between 2014 and 2015. It’s interesting to note the number of visas issued to applicants from islands (including British and French territories) and wonder how many of these may be for applicants originally from more difficult countries who got intermediate citizenship. In terms of use, visas for regional center investments (98.4% of total) and TEA investments (99.2% of total) were even more dominant in 2015 than 2014. I assume that visa numbers for 2015 mainly reflect investments made in 2012-2014 (considering processing and wait times) by about 4,440 investors (assuming average 2.2 visas per investor).
