On the occasion of the New Year 2014, Worldway announced good news: the Cleveland State University Campus Uptown Expansion Project, promoted by Worldway, received project pre-approval from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services on January 28, 2014.
The Uptown Expansion Project is located in the Cleveland State University Campus and provides apartments and retail services for 12 educational institutions and 13,000 students. Construction of the Uptown Expansion Project began in early 2013 and is expected to be fully completed in the fourth quarter of 2014, with construction progressing smoothly.
The I-526 sample project pre-approval application is submitted to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services by the project regional center through an I-924 regional center amendment application, seeking pre-approval of the project before the approval of individual investors' I-526 applications. This is the most important milestone before the approval of investors' I-526 applications.
Project pre-approval means that the Cleveland State University Campus Uptown Expansion Project has received recognition and approval from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. When the immigration agency subsequently reviews individual investors' I-526 applications, it will respect this pre-approval decision and will not re-evaluate whether the project meets immigration law requirements, but will focus solely on the investors' personal materials to expedite the approval process. Subsequently, the applicants' personal materials will be reviewed in sequence, and it is expected that I-526 approval will be obtained in a shorter time frame. With the project pre-approval, it also means that all applicants for this project through Worldway will have their I-526 and I-829 approved as long as their personal and family information is in order.
