不过投资移民，门槛儿挺高的吧？我听说还得自己办厂，雇佣至少十个美国员工什么的。就算你们老板有本事，人生地不熟的，拿什么养活人家美国人啊？别到时候钱也浪费了，绿卡也拿不到。

But isn't the threshold for investment immigration quite high? I've heard you need to set up a factory yourself, hire at least 10 American employees and so on. Even if your boss is talented, he'd still be a stranger in a strange land. How will he pay and support his American workers? Who knows, maybe when the time comes he won't even be able to get a green card and will have wasted his money.

No way. I've looked into it. There's some investment programs where you have absolutely no need to start your own company, don't need to manage your own operations, and don't even need to directly hire employees. You just need to invest five hundred thousand US dollars in a program and after a few years you'll see a return on your investment.
