US ups EB-5 visa threshold
美国提高并完善EB-5
US Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley and Ranking Member Patrick Leahy introduced bi-partisan legislation to extend and improve the job-creating immigrant investor visa program, known as EB-5, which is set to expire in September.
美国的创造就业投资移民签证项目，即EB-5，将于9月到期。国会参议院司法委员会主席格拉斯利、资深成员莱希日前联合提出一项两党支持的议案，延长并完善EB-5项目。

The bill will extend the program for five years and raise the investment threshold to $800,000 for targeted employment areas and $1.2m for non-TEAs from the current $500,000 and $1m, respectively.
该议案将"目标就业区"的投资门槛由现行的50万美元提高至80万美元，将"非目标就业区"的投资金额从100万美元提高到120万美元。
It also will provide increased authority to the Department Of Homeland Security to deny or terminate applications where there is fraud, criminal misuse, or a threat to public safety or national security.
议案还同时赋予国土安全部更大权限，可否决或终止涉及欺诈、犯罪分子滥用、威胁公共安全和美国国家安全的投资移民申请。
