Join us in June for the inaugural Worldway Group Immigration Month. Worldway Immigration Group will host a grand, seven-city joint event for China's first US Immigration Month, featuring the latest comprehensive information on US investment immigration, trend analysis, policy interpretation, and themed sessions on US education, real estate, tax and finance, financial investment, and new life in the US. In this issue, Worldway Immigration Group brings you the relevant content from our US Immigration Month comprehensive news series.
We are releasing detailed EB-5 updates—on June 2, USCIS (US Citizenship and Immigration Services) published the latest data on EB-5 filings and approvals for the second quarter of fiscal year 2015 (January 1 to March 31, 2015). Overall, the approval rates for I-526 and I-829 petitions continue to remain high.
【Worldway Analysis】 As shown in the table above, the I-526 approval rate for this quarter is at a high of 87.87%, and has been close to 90% over the past year. This indicates that the I-526 approval rate has basically stabilized at around 90%, up from approximately 80% previously. However, Worldway reminds investors: your ultimate goal is not a conditional green card, but a permanent one; therefore, you should focus on I-829 petitions and capital repayment. Consequently, EB-5 projects capable of creating sufficient employment remain the priority when selecting a project.
【Worldway Analysis】 As shown in the table above, the I-829 approval rate for this quarter is 99.26%, continuing to remain at a high level. Worldway reminds investors: although the I-829 denial rate is very low, the risks involved are significant. Worldway once again reminds all EB-5 investors: you must ensure that the project can sufficiently complete its job creation requirements, as this is the critical factor for investors to obtain a permanent green card when removing conditions via the I-829 process.
Finally, Worldway kindly reminds you: as the minimum investment amount for EB-5 is very likely to increase to $900,000, the specific date for this increase is likely to occur around the September 30 deadline this year. Accordingly, investors are advised to select high-quality projects and complete their investments and fund transfers as early as possible before the price increase. During the first US Immigration Month, Worldway Group will proudly present an exhibition of three premium projects that have already received pre-approval from the immigration authorities, helping investors better understand US investment immigration policies and effectively address the three major crises of US investment immigration.
