St. Kitts & Nevis Yacht Visits Booming

As many of our international readers know, Harvey Law Group is now offering the St. Kitts & Nevis immigrant investor program, one of the few which goes beyond offering residency for investors and actually offers investors nationality in the country, issuing them passports.

Canada Pauses Federal Immigrant Investor Program June 28, EB-5 Demand Surges

Folks, I am in Beijing and yesterday’s news is the talk of the town: the Canadian Federal Immigrant Investor Program, which is being revamped, has been paused for at LEAST the rest of this year.  The full press release is below but here’s what it means for EB-5:·         There are thousands of applicants in the Far East who were awaiting the announcement based on much speculation that additional IIP visas would be released.  Many of these have begun fund transfers and many of these are in the safes of Chinese migration agents who are, to use the medical term, totally freaking out.·         While the majority of these folks will hold out for the new Canadian national program and others will filte…
