中国领先的房地产平台居外网（Juwai.com）与顶级移民咨询机构外联出国顾问集团（Wailian Overseas Consulting Group Ltd，以下简称“外联”）达成合作关系，共同促进美国EB-5投资移民签证项目。

美国房地产投资移民"两手抓" 居外、外联携手促进EB-5移民项目

 这两家公司将独家合作营销数项房地产开发项目，这些项目获批准参与EB-5项目，并经由外联审查。
 
论及EB- 5投资签证的未来，房地产新闻网站OPP.Today 9月16日报道，90%的申请者来自中国。
 
外联将帮助中国投资者确定优良的投资机会，获得绿卡，满足签证项目繁琐的要求，而居外网将发布合格的EB-5投资机会，并把潜在投资者介绍给外联。

居外网将合格的EB-5投资机会发布在其每月有260万中国国际地产买家访客的官网Juwai.com上，然后将其中的潜在投资者介绍给外联因私出入境服务有限公司。

外联总裁兼首席执行官何琳达（Linda He）说：“这次联盟将极大地造福我们的客户，使他们更容易发现新的EB-5投资机会，因为这些机会将在很受欢迎的居外网平台上显示。”

“许多国际购房者对移民和签证的法律也感兴趣。美国EB-5签证程序对潜在投资者非常有吸引力，因为它允许他们携带配偶和孩子，而且不用绑定到某个工作或雇主上。

“与居外网的合作给了我们一个战略优势，因为居外网拥有最大的中国国际地产投资者访客量。”

居外网联合首席执行官冼明（Simon Henry）说：“我们非常高兴能够将居外网的访客介绍给中国最好的移民咨询集团。我们信任外联，我们非常放心将外联介绍给我们的用户。

“刚刚超过三分之一的用户告诉我们他们有兴趣移民，移民是国际房地产购买的第二大推动因素，仅次于纯粹以投资为目标的购房。想要获得美国绿卡得高净值个人对EB-5项目表现了极大的兴趣。

“中国拥有世界第二大高净值人群，每年新诞生4万个百万富翁。即使只有很小的比例决定移民，他们也可以为美国创造就业机会的项目提供大量的资金。”

EB-5项目以“就业为基础”的美国联邦移民项目，旨在利用富裕移民的投资资金为美国人创造就业机会。从2011年到2014年，该项目在美国25个州和地区至少创造了10.3万个工作岗位。外国人可以获得永久绿卡，只要他们在获得批准的项目中投资了至少50万美元，并证明这项投资在两年内创造至少10个就业岗位。

对于房地产开发商来说，这可能比从传统金融机构贷款更便宜的一个资金来源，原因是外国投资者有时接受较低的回报，因为他们的主要目标是获得绿卡。

外联在全国上拥有超过300名员工和20个办事处。居外网每月有260万访问量，这些访客来自中国315个城市以及世界各地的48个国家，该平台还展示了来自89个国家250万套房源

Chinese firms partner to promote EB5 property investment

Leading Chinese property website Juwai.com has formed a partnership with top Chinese immigration consultancy Wailian to promote the United States EB5 investment visa scheme.

The two companies will exclusively work together on the marketing of real estate development projects that are approved for participation in the EB-5 program and vetted by Wailian Overseas Consulting Group Ltd.

As OPP.Today reported yesterday when discussing the future of the EB-5 investment visa, 90% of applicants are from China.

Wailian will help Chinese investors identify premium investment opportunities, obtain green cards and meet the program’s often complex requirements, while Juwai.com will publish qualified EB-5 investment opportunities and introduce potential investors to Wailian.

The property portal will publish qualified EB-5 investment opportunities on Juwai.com and introduce them to its monthly audience of 2.6 million Chinese international property buyers, then introduce potential investors to Wailian.

Linda He, president and CEO of Wailian, says, “This new affiliation will greatly benefit our clients –making it even easier for them to discover new EB-5 investment opportunities, because they will be featured right on Juwai.com’s very popular platform.

“Many international property buyers are also interested in learning about immigration and visa laws. The U.S. EB-5 visa program can be very attractive for potential investors, because it allows them to bring their spouses and children and is not tied to a job or employer.

“Working with Juwai.com gives us a strategic advantage, because Juwai.com has the largest audience of Chinese international property hunters.”

Simon Henry, co-CEO of Juwai.com, says, “We’re very excited to be able to introduce the consumers who use Juwai.com to China’s best immigration consulting group. Wailian is a company we trust, and we are very comfortable introducing Wailian to our users.

“Just over one third of our users tell us that they are interested in immigration, making it the second biggest driver for international property purchase, after pure investment goals. The EB-5 program is of great interest to high-net-worth individuals who would like to obtain a US green card.

“China has the world’s second largest high-net-worth population and mints 40,000 new millionaires per year. Even if only a tiny percentage of those decide to immigrate, they can provide a large pool of capital to job-creating projects in the US.”

The EB-5 program is the “employment-based” US federal immigration program, designed to use investment capital from wealthy immigrants to create jobs for Americans. From 2011-2014, it created at least 103,000 jobs, in 25 US states and territories. Foreign nationals can acquire a permanent green card if they invest at least $500,000 in an approved program, and if that investment is demonstrated to create at least 10 jobs within two years.

For real estate developers, it can be a less expensive source of financing than loans from traditional financial institutions, as foreign investors sometimes accept lower rates of return because their primary goal is to obtain a green card.

Wailian Overseas Consulting Group has more than 300 employees and 20 offices internationally. Juwai.com has 2.6 million monthly visits from Chinese-speaking consumers in 315 cities in China and 48 countries around the world and showcases 2.5 million listings from 89 countries.
