Kushner family in Beijing: ‘Invest $500,000 and immigrate’ to US
CNN reports that Nicole Kushner Meyer, the sister of White House adviser and President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, spoke at an event in Beijing on Saturday. She was marketing a Kushner-owned property in New Jersey — invest in the development and get into the United States on a EB-5 visa.
The EB-5 visa allows immigrants a path to a green card if they invest more than $500,000 in a project that creates jobs in the United States.
An ad for the event, held at a Ritz-Carlton hotel, said “Invest $500,000 and immigrate to the United States.”
The EB-5 visa has been used by the Trump and Kushner family businesses. Foreigners, including Chinese nationals, have used the EB-5 program to migrate into the United States. The EB-5 program has come under fire by members of Congress on both sides of the aisle. Lawmakers say the program essentially sells citizenship to high-income foreigners.
