Why India?
U.S. Immigration Fund believes that India will be a significant country for EB-5 investors given India’s demographics of 1.3 billion people, with a large middle and upper class who are highly educated and sophisticated. Today, India represents one of the largest countries applying through channels of United States immigration. India has a very similar demographic makeup as China and USIF believes it has the ability to be as productive a market as seen in China. Over the last 8 years the usage of EB-5 Visas from native Chinese Citizens has grown more than 2000%. We believe with the proper education and marketing channels India could become the next largest user of the Employment Based Fifth Preference (EB-5) category in just one year.
During this visit to India, we have initiated a Series of Interactive Seminars in Punjab – the first one in Ludhiana . On 09th June, we have an Interactive Session with Members of “FICO”- Federation of Industrial & Commercial Organization & other Industrial Associations.
In a recent meeting with “US Commercial Service” of the US Embassy in India , we exchanged ideas to offer similar Interactive Seminars with various Industry Associations/ Chambers of Commerce in India.
In the United States, the Indian population has surged since the 1990s to become the second-largest immigrant group in the country after Mexicans, and ahead of those born in China, the Philippines, and Vietnam. As of 2013, more than 2 million Indian-born immigrants resided in the United States, accounting for 4.7 percent of the 41.3 million foreign-born populations. From 1980 to 2013, the Indian immigrant population increased ten-fold, from 206,000 to 2.04 million, roughly doubling every decade. Today, Indian citizens are the top recipients of temporary high-skilled worker H-1B visas, accounting for 70 percent of the 316,000 H-1B petitions (initial and continuing employment) approved by USCIS in 2014. India is also the second-largest sending country of international students to the United States after China: Close to 103,000 Indian-born students were enrolled in U.S. educational institutions in the 2013-14 school year.
About U.S. Immigration Fund
U.S. Immigration Fund organizes and manages new commercial businesses into which sophisticated foreign individuals (“Foreign Investors”) invest for the purpose of obtaining a U.S. Visa under the EB-5 Program. The new commercial businesses make loans of the capital invested by the Foreign Investor into a development project that will create permanent U.S. jobs. Typically, those projects entail the construction of large-scale commercial and residential buildings. USIF also organizes and manages the day-to-day operation of its various USCIS-approved Regional Centers . An experienced team of real estate development, commercial lending, construction, nance, legal and marketing professionals leads the company. Over the years, USIF has developed a unique and successful approach to the EB-5 Program.
