根據來自Yahoo金融的報導：

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代表中國投資人指控美國政府通過以損害國際投資者為目的的限制簽證政策來阻礙外資在美投資。

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.
超過450名中國EB-5投資者控告美國政府，通過法庭訴訟來挑戰漫長排期的EB-5投資移民簽證政策！

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.
律師Kurzban、Weinger、Tetzeli和Pratt他們都來自於佛羅里達州，在移民法、國內法的訴訟當中都頗有建樹的頂尖律所。

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.
打官司的目的是實質性地減少投資者以及他們的家庭面對的EB-5簽證排期（等待投資移民簽證的時間），在過去的幾年中，成為美國永久居民等候的時間戲劇性的大幅增加。在這個期間，大量的孩子超齡（超過21周歲），如果把他們的家屬排除在美國簽證的名額之外，則排期將大大縮短。

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律師認為，美國政府計算每個孩子和配偶計入簽證的行為是有爭議的，我們堅信在分配簽證份額時只應該被計入的是主申請人（就是投資人），這麼做導致10000張簽證只有3300張簽證分配到EB-5投資人，並使投資人等候很多很多年，而同樣對於美國政府來說也是損失，因為只有很少的人可以投資美國了。
