Press Show: Visa Program and Jersey City

press show: The map was included in a 2015 application to the EB-5 visa program that allows overseas investors to obtain U.S. residency in exchange for investments of 500,000 or more in rural areas or those with high unemployment, according to Brandon Sun. The maps are legal, and many other developers engage in the practice. Emails obtained by The Associated Press show that the family of President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner placed its 65 Bay Street building in Jersey City in a map stringing together two dozen other areas, some with high unemployment. But the practice is one of the reasons the EB-5 visa program has come under criticism from both Democrats and Republicans. The Kushner property is co-owned with developer KABR Group. James Yolles, a spokesman for the Kushner Cos., declined to comment. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
