1. 关联本身不是原罪,隐瞒才是问题
一家移民服务公司可能同时组织中国客户服务,并与美国项目、SPV、运营企业、雇主或律师合作。纵向能力可以提高交付效率,但也会产生推荐偏好、自我交易或责任混同的疑问。客户需要的不是一句“完全没有利益关系”,而是一张真实关系图。
2. 每项资源都应有关系标签
建议使用统一标签:TIHU实际运营、TIHU关联SPV、战略合作项目、第三方区域中心项目、集团关联雇主、核验合作雇主、独立律师或专业机构。标签旁应解释股权、管理、推广、转介或服务关系,以及最后更新时间。若关系改变,历史页面也应保留更新记录。
3. 佣金要回答四个问题
谁支付、支付给谁、按什么条件计算、是否会影响推荐。EB-5推广可能涉及发行、推广或转介报酬;USCIS要求相关直接和第三方推广人按适用规则注册,书面协议也是审查内容之一。证券活动还可能触发其他监管要求。客户不必假设“收佣金一定有问题”,但有权知道推荐是否带来经济利益。
4. 律师的独立性必须单独处理
律师同时面对客户、项目方、雇主或关联公司的关系时,应识别客户是谁、是否存在重大利益冲突、是否需要知情同意,以及能否继续代理。网站上的“首席律师”称谓不能代替具体案件的冲突检查。项目投资判断、移民代理和公司商业决策也不应由一个模糊角色全部包办。
5. 合同、资金和责任必须对应
前台可以是一个入口,后台必须分工清楚:中国客户服务由谁签约,法律服务由谁提供,投资款进入哪里,运营服务由谁承担,雇主履行什么义务。若关联公司之间代收、转付或共享资料,应有书面依据。发生争议时,客户应能沿着合同和资金流找到具体责任人。
7. 透明不是口号,而是可审计记录
披露应进入签约前材料、正式合同和持续更新,而不只是网站页脚。客户确认看过什么、何时看过,机构何时更新,重大变化如何通知,都应留痕。高端服务不是宣称没有冲突,而是识别冲突、解释冲突,并让客户在充分信息下决定。
Note for applicants based in China
Applicants based in China usually also need to handle three things: keeping Chinese- and English-language documents consistent, making sure funds and income can be explained with independent documentation, and managing the gap between priority-date timing and a child's age. Any packaging that doesn't match the underlying facts creates greater risk at the RFE or interview stage.
