Waiting for ten years is only for signing EB-5? In fact, it only takes one year to immigrate to the United States!
“如何能去美國工作？”
“小孩馬上要上學了，十年移民太久了，能不能快速點？”
…
隨著中國富裕人口數量的增長，越來越多的人開始選擇移居國外。
而美國作為最理想的移民國家之一，成了許多國人趨之若鶩申請的熱門物件。
移民美國的最優方式——傑出人才引進和技術移民——雖然相對較快，但其嚴苛的要求和極高的門檻，早已將許多普通投資者拒之門外。
而見諸各大報端和網站的“EB-5”投資移民，隨著井噴式增長的移民需求，目前的排期更是長達十年之久。而你，和你下一代的人生，還有多少個十年可以等待？
“那我們就沒有別的辦法可以移民美國了嗎？”
PMIC接下來就將告訴您一個更快捷，更無憂的美國移民途徑——E-2簽證。
E2簽證有什麼優勢？
- 申請時間短，約3-5個月就可以在美國定居
- 21歲以下的子女可在美國自由求學，配偶可以在美國工作。
- 可以自由定義稅務居民身份。
- 可以自由進出美國，長居而不移民。
- 沒有最低投資額度。不需要投資50萬美元，不要30萬美元，視乎企業的實際情況在美國投資10萬至20萬美元就可以了 。
- 沒有最低雇員人數要求。
另闢蹊徑——搶灘登陸，捷徑赴美
15萬美金的小額投資，
捷徑快速的移民方式，
究竟是怎麼一回事？
E-2簽證原本是美國政府簽發給有商貿及航海協定的國家的公民的，例如格瑞那達。
申請E-2投資簽證只有一個條件。
即：在美國發展並經營一個投資企業
值得關注的是：
- E-2簽證的發放沒有名額限制。
- 只要你保持美國協定國商人或投資者的身份，你就可以在美國合法居留。
- 只需要投入小額資本即可得到E-2簽證：作為非移民投資簽證，法律對E-2項目的投資金額要求僅是：“足夠多”去支撐企業或是貿易的運營。
而E-2簽證的申請項目投資額度大多於15萬美金以上，和其他投資或是購入企業相比，所需金額大大減少。
注：中國，印度，越南等國家的公民不能直接申請E-2簽證。
因為只有擁有E-2條約國的護照才能申請，而中國並沒有與美國有簽署雙邊投資協議，
不過下面PMIC首都投資移民顧問就講詳細介紹如何突破申請E-2簽證的門檻。
移民美國的“准綠卡”——曲線獲簽，加快進度
與美國締結貿易與航行條約的國家或地區已經有80多個，如新加坡、加拿大、韓國，但同時也包括了一些名不見經傳的小國家，而格瑞那達（Grenada）就是其中之一。
其他國家的國民可以通過不低於低15萬美元的捐款，或是購買35萬美金以上的房地產，在數月內獲得格瑞那達護照，以此來申請E2簽證，拿到移民美國的“准綠卡”。
除了速度較快、入籍門檻低，整個申請程式也較為透明。同時相對寬鬆的稅務要求（無個人所得稅、淨資產稅、遺產稅等）也在很大程度上減輕了移民者的負擔。
有了格瑞那達護照後，就可以開始向美國政府申請E-2簽證。
幫你省錢的護照——教育優惠，留美無憂
除了作為移民美國的跳板外，格瑞那達護照還能讓您的下一代享受到更多的教育優勢和資源。E-2簽證持有者的子女和配偶均可在美國自由求學，而無需申請F-1簽證。年滿21歲前，E-2投資者的子女更能享受與美國公民一樣的教育待遇，如全額免除公立學校費用。
“以賓夕法尼亞州公立小學為例，以E-2投資者子女身份完成美國小學至高中教育，相較於以F-1簽證就讀的學生而言，省下了將近100萬人民幣，可用于未來大學教育或其他用途。”
而如果你或者你的下一代已在美國大學讀書，作為F1學生簽證持有者，你將有可能以格瑞那達國籍身份得到留美機會。因為目前，除非是頂尖學府出身，或者拿到工作簽證，否則華人學生畢業留美的機會微乎其微。對於即將畢業，或是未來打算留美的學生來說，擁有了格瑞那達護照，無疑等於拿到了留美之路的通行證。
申請格瑞那達護照
- 年滿十八周歲、身體健康、無犯罪記錄
- 捐款不低於15萬美金
或
購買至少22萬美元由政府指定的房產項目/股權
申請E-2簽證
- 擁有與美國長期保持有效國際貿易和航行條約的國家的國籍；
- 已投資，或正在積極地（actively in the process of investing）將一筆從數量上講具有實質意義的資金（substantial amount of capital）投資到一家真實合法（bona fide）的美國企業；
- 尋求進入美國的唯一目的是發展和管理其投資的企業
格瑞那達護照+ E-2簽證優勢
- 格瑞那達是可以同時持有綠卡和護照的移民項目且與中國互免簽證，實現合理保留中國國籍；
- 踏上美國教育機構的直通車；
- 格瑞那達沒有移民監，且E-2入境美國時間長達五年，可以無限續簽；
- 一年內快速實現登陸美國；
- 在美國當地工作，子女享受免費教育福利；
- E-2申請無需遞交移民局，審理速度快，擁有控制權且企業持續維持經營即可；
格瑞那達護照 + 申請E-2簽證 = 移民美國
這樣低投入高產出的高效方案，
目前仍是小眾的移民方式。
在其成為下一個EB-5之前，
先一步搶灘登陸！
還在等什麼？

hospitality developer to Grenada. Range Developments is well known
for the high quality of its hotels and for the ability to deliver results in

sustainable jobs to the country, and our partnership with Range
Developments is irrefutable proof to this. What’s more telling is that
this project will be based in a rural part of the country, St. David;
showing our commitment to ensuring that every part of our Tri-Island
State is developed.”
The hotel project, once started, will create more than 600 jobs during
construction and many more during operations.
“We have been very impressed by the welcome and the opportunities
in Grenada,” said Mohammed Asaria, Managing Director and Member of
the Board of Range Developments. “The government is committed to a
thorough and transparent citizenship program. We look forward to
working together on this exciting project.”

Canadian Government announcement: New and improved intake process for sponsorship of parents and grandparents to launch on January 28, 2019
January 11, 2019 – Ottawa, ON – Today, the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship, the Honourable Ahmed Hussen, announced the Parents and Grandparents (PGP) Program interest to sponsor form will be available to potential sponsors starting at noon EST on January 28, 2019. The launch of the 2019 PGP Program will include a new and improved intake process. The Government of Canada has listened to and addressed concerns from clients and stakeholders about the previous intake process, and has taken steps to provide a first-in-first-served approach for 2019. This approach will further enhance the client experience by keeping the application process fair for all, while remaining an easy-to-access electronic method for applicants.
Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) will accept interest to sponsor submissions for a limited time and then invite potential sponsors to submit a complete application, in the order their submissions were received, until the 2019 cap of 20,000 complete applications is reached.
Interested potential sponsors are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new intake process for 2019, as other improvements have been made. These include a requirement for potential sponsors to upload a copy of a status in Canada document when submitting their interest to sponsor form.
The interest to sponsor form has also been enhanced from previous years to include features that will help IRCC detect duplicate submissions and potential fraud.
Potential sponsors should submit an interest to sponsor form as soon as possible once it’s available online, after confirming that they meet the necessary minimum income requirements. The onus is on potential sponsors to ensure they are eligible before submitting an interest to sponsor form.
As a family reunification program, the PGP Program gives Canadians and permanent residents the opportunity to have their parents and grandparents come to Canada to live permanently. Given the continuing interest in the program, IRCC has increased the annual cap on applications it will accept in 2019 to 20,000 – 4 times the number of applications accepted in 2015. This increase was made possible by an over 80% reduction of the application backlog and processing times that have been shortened from 7 to 8 years, to about 2 years.
St. Kitts and Nevis and Belarus Sign Visa Waiver Agreement
The Embassy of the former Soviet Republic was the venue for the signing, which represents a concrete expression of both countries’ mutual aspiration to further promote the development of bilateral relations, and to encourage and facilitate travel of citizens of and between both countries.
Holders of valid passports -of all types- of each country will no longer require a visa to enter or transit through the territory of the other.
Her Excellency Verna Mills signed for and on behalf of the Government of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, while Ambassador Aleksandr Aleksandrov performed the honours for and on behalf of his Government.
Both diplomats expressed the hope that the Agreement will indeed result in greater movement/visits/ travel by the peoples of both countries.
The Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis established diplomatic relations with the Republic of Belarus on the 4th June 2016.
Park Hyatt St Kitts has been named one of the “best new hotels in the world” in 2018
“Inclusion in this prestigious list is a testament to all the hard work by everybody involved in the development of the Park Hyatt St. Kitts, as well as the quality of the design and construction of the property,” said Mohammed Asaria, founder and vice chairman of Range Developments. “Since opening in November last year, the hotel has received superb feedback from guests, as well as, the world’s leading travel publications. We will continue to work hard to live up to the name and to maintain high standards our projects are praised for.”
Park Hyatt St. Kitts has been on the radar of honeymooners since Delta Airlines rolled out bi-weekly direct flights to St. Kitts. The world renowned Martha Stewart Weddings magazine describes the resort as the “chicest mini-moon destination” where you “immediately want to Instagram” and enjoy the first Caribbean Miraval-branded spa that will “reset both mind and body”.
