'People should ask themselves if a U.S. green card is what they really want, ' said Erik Wallace, a Hong Kong-based lawyer at Withers. 'If not, there are other options available.'
“人们应该问问自己,是否美国绿卡真是他们想要的,”Withers的香港律师Erik Wallace说,“如果不是,他们还有其他选择。”
For Chinese businessmen who want to spread their empires to America, they can apply for an L-1 visa, which allows foreign employees of international companies to relocate to the corporation's U.S. office. The L-1 visa, which can be extended to up to seven years, may legally be used as a steppingstone to a green card.
对于想要把自己的生意扩张到美国的中国商人,他们可以申请L-1签证。该签证帮助国际公司的外国雇员在其美国公司工作。L-1签证可以一共延期到七年,也可以合法地作为申请绿卡的一个踏脚石。
The L-1 visa has no investment or job-creation requirements, while the U.S. investor visa program does, and L-1 visas can usually be approved in a matter of weeks. People on L-1 visas are subject to U.S. taxes on their U.S. income, but not on their overseas income and capital gains if they spend fewer than 122 days each year in the U.S., according to Mr. Wallace.
和美国投资移民不同, L-1签证对于在美国的投资金额,以及在美国创造的工作都没有特别要求。一般来说,几个星期就可以批下来。Wallace说,成功的申请人需要为他们的美国收入交税,但只要每年在美国呆的时间不超过122天,一般就不需要为海外收入交美国税。
