下一阶段美国移民投资的风口在哪里？ 最近有不少读者和朋友都很关心下一阶段美国移民投资的风口在哪里。谈到风口，就不能不花点时间提提小米的雷军，他真是太牛了。格力的董明珠不管有多厉害，和他打赌一点赢的机会都没有。我这样说，并不仅仅是因为他是我的校友就偏袒他。你想想，他一句大白话“如果大风刮起来，只要你站在风口，即使是头猪也能够飞起来”不仅仅短时间内传遍了大江南北，而且果然导致今年全国多地猪价启动“飞行模式”，猪价今年的涨幅超过50%，已经突破2011年6月的历史最高点。他这段话，绝对是有史以来最成功的猪肉广告。这种跨界能力和影响力，董明珠能比得上吗？更为可怕的是，自古以来，人和猪的地位是有天壤之别的，没有人愿意把自己等同为猪。但因为雷军的这段名言，很多创业者都殷切盼望自己是那站在风口的猪，希望有大风把自己吹到天上去飞翔。这种颠覆人类千年传统的能力，更是董总望尘莫及的了。 谈到下一阶段美国移民投资的风口在哪里，自然是非L-1A/EB1C莫属了。L-1A/EB1C是指跨国公司的高管和经理申请美国工作签证以及绿卡的快捷途径。在过去的几年，在美国移民投资这个领域，EB5投资移民毫无疑问是最热的了。但由于其投资项目的风险比较难把握，最近不少项目出了问题，再加上目前越来越长的排期也是个大问题，越来越多条件比较优越的人都在寻找更为可靠和快捷的移民美国的方法。在这种情况下，关注和申请L-1A/EB1C的人在急速的增加。 从我们律所接触和处理的案件来看，这种趋势非常明显。从批准的案件来看，仅仅在过去的一周，我们就有好几位客户的绿卡申请被批准了。这些客户全部都是通过L-1A，然后EB1C申请绿卡的。我看了一下案卷，从首次申请L-1A开始算起，拿到正式绿卡最快的只花了不到三年的时间，最长的花了大约四年的时间。而律所处理的EB5客户，三年前开始申请I-526，现在还没有提交转正式绿卡的申请。如果现在提交，按照目前的处理速度，至少还要两年半的时间。如果是最近两年开始申请I-526的，现在都还在等待排期到中国美领馆面谈。从成功的案例看来，通过L-1A/EB1C申请拿到正式绿卡和通过EB5投资移民方式拿到正式绿卡的差距太大了。 从咨询阶段的客户来看，今年来咨询L-1A/EB1C的客户数量增长非常快，是去年同期的好几倍。而且很高比例的客户在律所咨询后就基本决定要申请，比EB5客户做决定需要的时间快多了。不仅在数量上有大的增长，客户的质量也提高了很多。在我处理L-1A/EB1C案件的十几年中，已经经历了L-1A/EB1C申请的三次浪潮，明显可以看到中国企业的实力在稳步提升。中国有意来美国投资的企业不仅增长很快，投资额和过去也不可同日而语。 从我们所了解的市场的情况和同客户的沟通来看，目前L-1A/EB1C在国内的热度在明显在提升，但也不是完全没有挑战。因为L-1A/EB1C对申请人所在企业的规模和实力是有一定条件要求的，性质和EB5投资移民有根本的区别。它要求企业有能力在美国直接创造工作，要有一定的业务拓展能力，不像EB5投资移民项目那样越来越依赖数据模型来创造间接的工作；更为重要的是，美国相关机构和部门在这方面也有丰富的经验，形成了相对比较一致和完善的案件处理机制，对案件的稽核能力也比较强。因此，更加需要熟悉和了解这块业务和市场的专业律师的全方位介入和服务。但目前已经有一些机构和中介像炒作EB5一样，在中国忽悠客户，提供不实的信息和咨询意见。所以有条件和意愿选择这条途径的申请人，一定要尽量咨询有经验的专业人士的意见，以免受骗上当。 本文章只用作背景知识的了解， 请勿套用您的或任何其他人的情况当成法律意见。如果您有任何问题，可咨询刘念庆律师事务所温勇律师。 温律师是武汉大学法学院国际法专业的本科和硕士，美国华盛顿大学法律博士，有二十年的中美移民投资商业法律经验，处理了大量的移民投资案件和中国企业美国投资业务。联络地址：Liu & Associates, P.C., 1210 Warsaw Road, #200, Roswell, GA 30076；联络电话770-481-0609；传真：770-481-0597；网址：www.attorneyliu.com。
