The GAO report adds that USCIS officials “continually identify new fraud schemes” involving the program, and the Chinese government isn’t much of a fan, either, because investors apparently illegally move their money out of China using the program as well. Nicole Kushner Meyer, sister of President Trump adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner, was at an event in Beijing to woo investors and tout the EB-5 investment scheme that grants visas to individuals willing to invest at least $500,000 in business endeavours, such as real estate projects run by Kushner Companies. The brochure for the event included the line “Invest $500,000 and emmigrate to the United States”, and investors were encouraged to “invest early” so they could “invest under the old rules”, which suggests future changes to the visa programme under the Trump administration. A spokesperson for Kushner ’s company said it had no knowledge about any Chinese government involvement with his family’s business.
