The Asia-Pacific Network Foundation Limited was created in 2012 to provide outstanding services for Chinese and other Asians intending to buy real estate or businesses in America, and possibly immigrate to the United States.
The organizational founders include the US China Legal Network ( which includes Cades Schutte, LLP, the largest law firm in Hawaii), real estate and business brokers, and others knowledgeable in both China and US culture.
It is the mission of APNFL to identify investment opportunities for Asians, and to provide personal services for those needing visas and immigration, so that they can acclimate and become part of their new Hawaii or other US community. The founders believe that introduction to community organizations relevant to Asian immigrants is needed by many investors, and is not being adequately made available.
Here are the key services and people:
