As can be seen from the table above, the calendar has moved forward by one month, but the cut-off date remains unchanged, which means it has regressed by another month, from a 2-year backlog to 2 years and 1 month. According to the current 2-year and 1-month backlog, and the average processing time of I-526 currently being about 14 months, it can be concluded:
Additional waiting time = Backlog regression time - I-526 approval time = 25 months (2 years and 1 month) - 14 months = 11 months. In other words, EB-5 applicants from mainland China currently need to wait an average of 11 months longer. At the same time, according to the latest data from the Department of State Visa Office, families with children as the main applicants account for nearly 1/3 of the entire EB-5 customer base. The issue of children's aging caused by the backlog has become the most effective mechanism to stop the backlog regression time from being extended infinitely, and finally reached a dynamic balance after the extension of the backlog and possible price increases. Another informal report from the Department of State Visa Office indicates that the visa backlog in the 2015-2016 period should basically stabilize at around 2 years until the end of the 2016 fiscal year, i.e., September 30, 2016, which may increase to 2 and a half years.
Worldway U.S. investment immigration experts point out: EB-5 visa backlogs objectively exist, and the backlog will only get longer. Currently, the best way to deal with the backlog is fast! But under the premise of ensuring that green cards and permanent green cards are in hand, investors must also select projects carefully to ensure that the 500,000 investment funds can be safely recovered. Therefore, you must choose high-quality approved projects with the least risk and the most guaranteed repayment. In the 2015 fiscal year, U.S. investment immigration will face three major crises: the arrival of the backlog, investment price increases, and the expiration of the Regional Center Act. Currently, Worldway has launched two approved high-quality projects--the Pennsylvania Highway Project and the New York Liberty Garden Luxury Apartment Project. These 2 projects can perfectly deal with the three major crises of U.S. investment immigration. Hotline 400-138-2929.
