好久没贴这方面的消息了,今天美人蕉一问,我才想起应该再贴一下。由于底特律的特殊情况,密西根州政府得到了美国联邦政府的特比,可以接受投资移民的申请(EB-5)。具体程序已经启动。
不是有首歌叫“Come to America”,现在应该叫“Come to Detroit”。
LANSING, MI -- Michigan's new status as a federally designated center for an increasingly popular investor visa program -- just the second of its kind in the nation -- will uniquely position the state to attract foreign capital and create local jobs, according to experts and stakeholders.
United States Customs and Immigration expedited and approved Michigan's application to run its own EB-5 Regional Center, the Snyder administration announced this week, citing support from the governor, the state's entire Congressional delegation and Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan.
The federal EB-5 visa program is designed to attract "entrepreneur aliens" by offering them a green card in exchange for domestic investments that produce at least 10 new jobs in the U.S.

"This approval is an important step in helping harness top talent and international direct investment into the state to continue and accelerate Michigan's comeback," Gov. Rick Snyder said in a statement. "Our state needs outstanding talent to help drive the new economy. Immigrants are net job creators. In return, Michigan offers a wonderful place to live, work, play and raise a family."
