摘录LUCID EB-5 BLOG最新消息，美国国务院发布了2014财年EB-5签证国别统计数据。网址为：http://blog.lucidtext.com/2014/12/10/fy2014-eb-5-visa-stats-by-country/ 以下是中文翻译。

　　解析：

　　在美国国务院发布的2014财年美国全球签证发放统计情况表的表格中，国务院按照国别和投资类型统计了本年度EB-5投资移民签证的签发数量。本年度全球共签发10692个EB-5签证，其中投资区域中心项目获签10375个，占总数的97%，直接投资获签316个，占总数的3%。其中，中国大陆地区因直接投资项目获签162个，因区域中心项目投资获签8966个，总计9128个，占全球总数的85.4%。表中是根据表格的数据总结的EB-5投资移民主要国家的情况。

　　同时应当注意的是，EB-5签证的签发数不等于申请数。因为I-526申请是每一位投资者都需提交一份，并提交给美国移民局，由移民局进行审查，相关数据也由移民局自行公布。而EB-5签证则是向每位投资者及其配偶和未成年子女共同签发一次，并且在I-526申请通过之后由国务院而非移民局签发。
 

　　英文原文内容：

　　The US Department of State has updated its Report of the Visa Office 2014 with the section on EB-5 visas issued: Section V Immigrant Visas Issued and Adjustments of Status Subject to Numerical Limitations (by Foreign State o Chargeability): Fiscal Year 2014, Part 3 (Employment Fifth and Totals, Grand Totals). I’m copying below my summary table, which lists all countries associated in FY 2014 with 20+ EB-5 visas. People wondering about trends i demand for EB-5 visas should study the full file carefully. They may also compare with visa office reports from previous years.

　　PS: Keep in mind that visas are not the same as petitions. I-526 petitions are one per investor and filed with USCIS, which adjudicates them and publishes its own statistics. EB-5 visas are one per investor plus his/her spouse and minor children, and are issued by the State Department after a process that follows I-526 approval.
