申請(qǐng)美國(guó)投資移民在區(qū)域中心以外創(chuàng)造的就業(yè)算數(shù)嗎？

　　編者按：一些美國(guó)投資移民EB-5項(xiàng)目使用區(qū)域中心地理范圍外創(chuàng)造的就業(yè)，更有一些項(xiàng)目使用美國(guó)全國(guó)范圍內(nèi)創(chuàng)造的就業(yè)，這種就業(yè)計(jì)算方法會(huì)大幅度地增加就業(yè)總數(shù)。但目前這種作法并沒(méi)有被廣泛采用，也是業(yè)內(nèi)在計(jì)算就業(yè)時(shí)比較謹(jǐn)慎的表現(xiàn)。下面我們看看Phil Cohen先生對(duì)這種方法的解釋。

　　我們?cè)谥贫?a >美國(guó)投資移民EB-5區(qū)域中心的開(kāi)發(fā)計(jì)劃時(shí)，一定要清楚：在區(qū)域中心確定的地理邊界之外創(chuàng)造的間接就業(yè)也符合美國(guó)投資移民EB-5的就業(yè)崗位創(chuàng)造要求，但間接就業(yè)必須按照合理方法計(jì)算。

　　根據(jù)美移民局2013年5月30日發(fā)布的《EB-5政策備忘錄》：“區(qū)域中心創(chuàng)造的就業(yè)包括按合理方法計(jì)算的間接就業(yè)，即使間接就業(yè)不在區(qū)域中心的地理邊界之內(nèi)。”

　　《備忘錄》 簡(jiǎn)化了計(jì)算區(qū)域中心地理邊界外的間接就業(yè)的復(fù)雜性，如果由于客觀條件(和計(jì)算方法)的要求，這些間接就業(yè)位于EB-5區(qū)域中心地理邊界之外。

　　根據(jù)該《備忘錄》，間接就業(yè)是否被認(rèn)可的關(guān)鍵是要根據(jù)合理的經(jīng)濟(jì)方法進(jìn)行計(jì)算。因此，任何希望計(jì)算區(qū)域中心地理邊界之外的間接就業(yè)的項(xiàng)目必須事先與項(xiàng)目團(tuán)隊(duì)中的經(jīng)濟(jì)學(xué)家就間接就業(yè)的計(jì)算方法進(jìn)行討論。此外，項(xiàng)目方最好將間接就業(yè)計(jì)算的合理性包括在呈交給移民局的EB-5商業(yè)計(jì)劃書內(nèi)，以便向美移民局充分說(shuō)明項(xiàng)目符合EB-5的要求。

　　英文原文：

　　When formulating plans for the development of an EB-5 regional center, one should bear in mind that indirect jobs outside of the regional center's declared geographic area can be counted toward the EB-5 job creation requirement, as long as they are based on reasonable economic methodologies.

　　From the memorandum: “indirect jobs can qualify and be counted as jobs attributable to a regional center, based on reasonable economic methodologies, even if they are located outside of the geographical boundaries of a regional center.”

　　This clarification, which came about in the USCIS EB-5 Policy Memorandum of May 30th, 2013, has simplified some of the complications that people had been experiencing in relation to claiming indirect job creation when circumstances (and economic modelling) required that these jobs be outside the regional center's declared geographic area of focus.

　　As indicated in the memorandum, the key is to ensure that the justification for these jobs be based on reasonable economic methodologies. Therefore if one is planning to claim jobs outside of a regional center's geographic area of focus, a conversation should be had early on with the economist on the team. Furthermore, it is helpful to weave this justification into one's EB-5 business plan in order to present to USCIS a fully-rounded picture of the business as it pertains to EB-5 requirements.
