【兆龍課堂】2014年EB-5國別數(shù)據(jù)公布 中國=162個直投+8966區(qū)域中心投資

　　摘錄LUCID EB-5 BLOG最新消息，美國國務(wù)院發(fā)布了2014財年EB-5簽證國別統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)。網(wǎng)址為：http://blog.lucidtext.com/2014/12/10/fy2014-eb-5-visa-stats-by-country/ 以下是中文翻譯。

　　解析：

　　在美國國務(wù)院發(fā)布的2014財年美國全球簽證發(fā)放統(tǒng)計情況表的表格中，國務(wù)院按照國別和投資類型統(tǒng)計了本年度EB-5投資移民簽證的簽發(fā)數(shù)量。本年度全球共簽發(fā)10692個EB-5簽證，其中投資區(qū)域中心項目獲簽10375個，占總數(shù)的97%，直接投資獲簽316個，占總數(shù)的3%。其中，中國大陸地區(qū)因直接投資項目獲簽162個，因區(qū)域中心項目投資獲簽8966個，總計9128個，占全球總數(shù)的85.4%。表中是根據(jù)表格的數(shù)據(jù)總結(jié)的EB-5投資移民主要國家的情況。

　　同時應(yīng)當(dāng)注意的是，EB-5簽證的簽發(fā)數(shù)不等于申請數(shù)。因為I-526申請是每一位投資者都需提交一份，并提交給美國移民局，由移民局進行審查，相關(guān)數(shù)據(jù)也由移民局自行公布。而EB-5簽證則是向每位投資者及其配偶和未成年子女共同簽發(fā)一次，并且在I-526申請通過之后由國務(wù)院而非移民局簽發(fā)。
 

　　英文原文內(nèi)容：

　　The US Department of State has updated its Report of the Visa Office 2014 with the section on EB-5 visas issued: Section V Immigrant Visas Issued and Adjustments of Status Subject to Numerical Limitations (by Foreign State o Chargeability): Fiscal Year 2014, Part 3 (Employment Fifth and Totals, Grand Totals). I’m copying below my summary table, which lists all countries associated in FY 2014 with 20+ EB-5 visas. People wondering about trends i demand for EB-5 visas should study the full file carefully. They may also compare with visa office reports from previous years.

　　PS: Keep in mind that visas are not the same as petitions. I-526 petitions are one per investor and filed with USCIS, which adjudicates them and publishes its own statistics. EB-5 visas are one per investor plus his/her spouse and minor children, and are issued by the State Department after a process that follows I-526 approval.
