EB5 vs 10 Year Chinese Visitor Visa
Recently our associates in Beijing took notice of recent APEC comments this month. It was quoted: "Under the new arrangement, student and exchange visas will be extended to five years; business and tourist visas will be extended to 10 years." Understandably Chinese are wondering if this will make it harder for #EB5 Visa or non value based on recent conversations. Mona Shah & Associates have published an excellent blog today stating that this not true.....they quote "this news came a flurry of articles and opinions leading to a number of misconceptions, most notably that a 10-year visa is an equivalent of a 10-year green card. This certainly is not true. A business and tourist visa is a non-immigrant visa, with many limitations. The applicant who is granted a 10-year visa is still not allowed to live continuously or work in the U.S." http://mshahblog.com/?p=2969
