EB-5 Clearance Code: Key Strategic Moves Before I-526E Approval
Great news—recently, under the framework of the new U.S. EB-5 law, the I-526E immigration petitions of several Worldway Group investors have been approved. Among them, some are "concurrent filing" clients who, while submitting their I-526E, simultaneously filed their I-485 Adjustment of Status applications, along with applications for Travel Authorization (I-131) and Employment Authorization (I-765). With "concurrent filing," status and life were stabilized well before the I-526E approval. These clients have successively received key receipts and approvals: • I-485 Receipt: Allows for long-term, legal stay in the U.S. • I-765 Approval: Allows for legal employment and freedom to choose a career • I-131 Approval: Allows for legal and free entry and exit from the U.S.
