The Family-Based Migrant Turned Entrepreneur/Billionaire

John Tu, CEO of Kingston Technology, came to the U.S. from China on a family-based visa. He obtained an F4 visa as the sibling of a U.S. citizen. (That sister became a U.S. citizen after marrying a U.S. citizen.)

Forbes has a terrific write-up on Tu, who is the entrepreneur behind Kingston Technology, “the world’s largest independent manufacturer of memory products.” Tu himself is on the list of the Forbes 400 wealthiest individuals in the United States (coming in at #87).

The story is timely since it runs counter to President Trump’s recent and vociferous opposition to “chain migration” as a drain on the economy.
