The U.S. investment immigration EB-5 program continues to be extremely popular. Currently, the first phase of the Pennsylvania Turnpike project, exclusively represented by WorldWay, has sold out rapidly, and even before the official launch of the second phase, there has already been a surge in early reservations.
WorldWay immigration experts point out that due to the high cost-effectiveness of the U.S. investment immigration method and the numerous advantages of the country as a destination, the number of EB-5 applicants will continue to increase significantly for the foreseeable future. If the quota remains unchanged, the backlog may arrive soon.
How to respond to the backlog? WorldWay experts suggest that choosing EB-5 projects that have already been approved by the immigration bureau and submitting applications as early as possible are the best strategies to cope with the backlog.
First, choose projects that have been approved by the immigration bureau
When selecting projects, choosing 100% government-backed projects that have been pre-approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services can significantly shorten the approval time.
For example, selecting the Pennsylvania Turnpike project, which has already received pre-approval from the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services under I-924: this means that the immigration bureau has already confirmed the reasonableness and legality of the EB-5 investment project. Therefore, when approving the I-526 conditional green card, as long as the project's legal documents remain unchanged, the immigration bureau only needs to focus on the legality of the investor's source of funds, without needing to reassess the project itself, which greatly reduces the approval time.
Second, submit applications as early as possible
If there are plans for children to study in the U.S., especially for families with more than one child, it is advisable to apply as soon as possible to actively address the impending backlog issue.
It is recommended that children over 18 years old can apply as independent EB-5 applicants; otherwise, if a backlog occurs, the legal immigration age for accompanying children may very likely exceed 21 years.
WorldWay Immigration Expert Tip: Families intending to invest in U.S. immigration, especially those with children at critical ages who wish to process immigration together, need to seize the opportunity to submit applications and complete payments as soon as possible to secure priority in the queue.
WorldWay Immigration Expert Reminder: Building on the successful promotion of the first phase of the Pennsylvania Turnpike project, WorldWay, in collaboration with the DVRC Regional Center and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, will soon jointly launch the second phase of the Pennsylvania Turnpike project. The second phase is a second round of financing for the same project, with the same 100 slots available, investing in the same turnpike project, and using the same set of I-526 project documents, which have also been pre-approved by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services as a 100% government project. Additionally, this project has an EB-5 investment bank supervision account to ensure fund safety, is expected to create 5,368 jobs, with a job multiplier of 5.4, and the jobs have been recognized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. To alleviate the backlog issue, now is the perfect time to register for early reservations and secure the scarce slots in the second phase. Please call 400-138-2929.
