Date of last update: 2020-05-30 16:56US President Trump criticized on Friday (30th in Hong Kong) local time that after the National People's Congress passed the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law", Hong Kong's "one country, two systems" would become "one country, one system", and he would cancel Hong Kong as China's other Preferential treatment outside the region. The United States has always been a major immigration country. Will this move of the United States affect Hong Kong people emigrating to the United States? Some immigration consultants said that the worst case would be to treat Hong Kong people as "one country, one system" and to merge two originally different queuing teams to affect the time of immigration. "Wait for more than 10 years." Other consultants believe that If it is treated as "one country, one system", the appeal of the United States will be greatly reduced, and Hong Kong people will transfer people to other English-speaking countries.
Hong Kong people are worried that the "National Security Law" has once again set off a wave of immigration. Earlier immigration consultants pointed out that the inquiries have risen tenfold in recent days. The United States, Britain, Canada and other places are still the first choice for Hong Kong people. However, Trump threatened to cancel the special treatment for Hong Kong on Friday, and will suspend the extradition agreement between Hong Kong and the United States, and review the export and visa arrangements. Will the relevant measures affect Hong Kong immigrants?

After the epidemic in the United States, funds are needed to restore economic investment, investment immigrants will not be affected
Hu Kangbang said that after the introduction of the National Security Law, the enquiry has been high. "We must work overtime on Saturday." He pointed out that the most people choose to immigrate to the United States to apply for an EB-5 investment visa, which requires the applicant to invest 1.8 million US dollars (about 14.04 million Hong Kong dollars), or invest 900,000 US dollars (about 7.02 million Hong Kong dollars) in the designated area.
He analyzed that because the new crown epidemic has hit the local economy in the United States, "the local needs funds to revitalize the economy, and no country is welcoming the rich." It is expected that the relevant applications will not be affected.
Regarding China's launch of the "Hong Kong version of the National Security Law", Trump denounced Beijing for violating the "Sino-British Joint Statement" signed by China and Britain in 1984, describing Hong Kong as no longer enjoying autonomy and criticizing China for turning "one country, two systems" into "one country." "One country". (Profile picture / Reuters)
At present, the mainland and Hong Kong are divided into two teams to deal with Hong Kong people and wait two years
Trump also mentioned that Hong Kong is "one country, one system". Will the application for immigration status change in the future? Hu Kangbang said that visas in the United States have always been processed according to the place of birth of the applicant. Hong Kong people and mainland people are separated into two different teams. In the past, it took about two years for Hong Kong people to apply for an EB-5 investment visa, but If the treatment is "one country, one system", the two teams may merge.
Hu Kangbang said with a smile, "Chinese people love and hate the United States. They have been the first immigrants for many years. It takes more than ten years to line up." He explained that the conditions for EB-5 in the early years were only 500,000 US dollars (about 3.9 million Hong Kong dollars). Therefore, there are a large number of backlog cases, which means that the time for Hong Kong people to successfully invest in the United States in the future may increase sharply, which will take at least ten years.
Immigration consultant Hu Kangbang believes that the impact of investment immigration will not be too great because the United States wants to absorb funds.
Immigration waits for ten years and eight loadings will be attractive
Zhang Jiaxi, director of Huankai Immigration Consultants Co., Ltd., also revealed that today he received enquiries from guests who are currently handling immigration from the United States, worrying about the measures of the United States or affecting the results of immigration. But he pointed out that it is difficult to predict the next move of the US side. The Hong Kong immigration team may merge with the mainland team. "I believe it is a lot of worries. The Chinese team must wait at least 6 to 8 years. The interest in the United States will be greatly reduced. "
Zhang Jiaxi explained that the qualification of EB-5 investment visa applicants in the United States is more relaxed than other English-speaking countries, such as Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. In addition, the processing time is not long, and it only takes about 2 years, which is very popular among Hong Kong people. He said: "The EB-5 system starts at US $ 900,000, the UK is one to two years but the £ 2 million is more expensive. Canada and Australia will require management experience and other requirements." However, Zhang Jiaxi also said: "If you have to wait ten years I have been talking about immigration for a long time in eight years, and the applicant's conditions are not sufficient to immigrate to other English-speaking countries. Most of them will retreat and then go to Portugal, Taiwan and other places.
After the introduction of the National Security Law, the number of inquiries increased several times
Has the query number increased sharply after Trump's speech? Zhang Jiaxi believes that the number of one day is insufficient to reflect, but since the news of the National Security Law came out last week, the number of inquiries has increased three to four times. "With 30 to 40 degrees received, the workload of colleagues has increased."
Approved immigrants want to travel early
Wen Weicheng, the chief immigration consultant of Yingjun Group, also said that since today is Saturday, there has been no significant increase in enquiries, but many guests who have been handling immigration procedures have called to expedite the processing. The month will pass first, but I would like to push us for this week as soon as possible, or to submit the table as soon as possible next week, so as not to have too many nights and nights. "I am worried that the future policy of the United States will cause other countries to imitate or have a ripple effect.
