Wang Linlin, 17, is one example of a Chinese student who is looking to not only study in the US but secure a green card through the EB-5 visa. She said she has been studying at a private high school in Orange County for almost two years. "My mom would like to get me a green card by investment and buy me a house here if I decide I like this country and would stay for a while," she said. Wang Linlin's mom, Lin Min who owns multiple businesses in China, came up with the plan though she said it's been tough because of the US' more stringest immigration policies. About 50 Chinese students like Wang Linlin attend the same school. Besides the language and cultural shock, she said: "We don't have friends". Wang Linlin's problems are strikingly similar to that of Dennis Wang's and Herman Qiao's. Many of Wang Linlin's friends are also not interested in extracurricular activities, which often make a college application look more appealing. Often times, these activities, such as volunteering at a shelter, provide not only glitz to an application but create opportunities to make friends with people of their age. Michelle Howard, whose family is hosting Dennis Wang, said she worries about "her Chinese boy" who moved into her house about a year ago. "He hardly speaks English," Howard said. "Dennis' father is a real estate developer in Beijing, very rich." Howard said Dennis Wang has more than 20 pairs of designer shoes and just had a 40-inch screen installed on the wall of his tiny room for video games.

That can be a bad formula for destruction, said George Zhao, who used to be a Chinese student host in Southern California. "These young people will run into trouble. It would be a surprise if they don't." Zhao said many lack a healthy relationship with their parents. "It's not unusual that the parents worked hard to accumulate wealth but neglected their children. Now they hope the US school to fix their children. ... There's a huge need for accessible resources and services to guide the Chinese students through the transition period." http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/m/eduonline/2011-06/13/content_12695583.htm
