根据来自Yahoo金融的报导：

Kurzban, Kurzban, Weinger, Tetzeli and Pratt, P.A. files suit alleging U.S. government is discouraging foreign investment in American communities with restrictive visa policies harmful to international investors

Kurzban、Weinger、Tetzeli 和Pratt 代表中国投资人指控美国政府通过以损害国际投资者为目的的限制签证政策来阻碍外资在美投资。

A group of more than 450 Chinese EB-5 investors are suing the U.S. government to challenge visa policies that keep investors waiting up to 15 years to come to the United States.

超过450名中国EB5投资者控告美国政府，通过法庭诉讼来挑战漫长排期的EB5投资移民签证政策！

American Lending Center (ALC), one of America’s leading EB-5 regional centers, has joined the suit to support and stand with the international investor community as the first and only institutional plaintiff. Legal representation is being provided by Kurzban, Kurzban, Weinger, Tetzeli and Pratt, P.A., a top Florida law firm with a record of aggressive advocacy and success in civil litigation and immigration law.

律师Kurzban、Weinger、Tetzeli 和Pratt他们都来自于佛罗里达州，在移民法、国内法的诉讼当中都颇有建树的顶尖律所。

The lawsuit aims to substantially reduce the current EB-5 visa backlog facing investors and their families. Over the past several years, the wait time to become a U.S. resident has drastically increased, with some EB-5 investors delayed up to 15 years. During this time many children of investors “age out” of associated familial visas or green card eligibility as “derivatives” of their parents. If spouses and children of investors were not individually counted against the State Department’s annual visa quota, a greater number would be available and the backlog would be substantially reduced.

打官司的目的是实质性地减少投资者以及他们的家庭面对的EB5签证排期（等待投资移民签证的时间），在过去的几年中，成为美国永久居民等候的时间戏剧性的大幅增加。在这个期间，大量的孩子超龄（超过21周岁），如果把他们的家属排除在美国签证的名额之外，则排期将大大缩短。

Ira Kurzban, lead attorney in the lawsuit, argues that “the U.S. government counts each child and each spouse in determining the numbers of immigrant investor visas each year. However, we believe that the EB-5 program for investors requires the government to only count investors when allocating the visas. The decision to count derivatives as part of the 10,000 visas means that only approximately 3,300 in fact go to investors. This is a loss for investors in China who must wait many, many years and it is a loss for the U.S. government because fewer people are investing in the U.S

Ira Kurzban律师认为，美国政府计算每个孩子和配偶计入签证的行为是有争议的，我们坚信在分配签证份额时只应该被计入的是主申请人（就是投资人），这麽做导致10000张签证只有3300张签证分配到EB5投资人，并使投资人等候很多很多年，而同样对于美国政府来说也是损失，因为只有很少的人可以投资美国了。
