Kushner's kin woo investors in China, offer green card in return

May 07, 2017 21:21

Relatives of US president's son-in-law Jared Kushner are touring major mainland cities to woo wealthy Chinese investors for luxury projects in New Jersey while offering an American green card in return, according to a media report.

Kushner's sister, Nicole Kushner Meyer, and her husband Joseph Meyer, took to the stage at Beijing's Ritz-Carlton hotel yesterday, and Shanghai's Four Seasons Hotel today to promote their new project 'One Journal Square', the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post reported.

The Beijing leg ignited controversy in the United States over whether Kushner, who is a senior White House adviser and US President Donald Trump, is involved in the project and the immigrant investor visa programme.

About 100 people attended the Shanghai event where they were told they could become US residents under a 'EB-5' visa programme if they put $500,000 into the project.
