On September 9, U.S. time, the U.S. Department of State's Visa Office released the October 2015 Visa Bulletin, in which two visa charts appeared for the first time for EB-5 U.S. investment immigration visas (and other immigration categories). On September 25, the U.S. Department of State suddenly made significant revisions to the previously released Chart B, while Chart A remained unchanged. The updates from the U.S. Department of State are as follows:


Chart A: Remains unchanged, with the priority date still set at October 8, 2013


U.S. Investment Immigration, EB-5 Visa Bulletin


Chart B: The following four sections have been updated, but do not involve EB-5

U.S. Investment Immigration, EB-5 Visa Bulletin


【Worldway Interpretation】This update does not involve the EB-5 visa category. Therefore, investors with a priority date later than October 8, 2013, but earlier than May 1, 2015, who hold a valid visa while in the United States at the time of I-526 approval, may still file their I-485 applications in the United States after Chart B becomes effective on October 1.


【Immigration Tips】As the September 30 deadline for U.S. investment immigration approaches, the EB-5 Regional Center Program may be briefly extended until December 11. For EB-5 investors who want to immigrate to the United States, this may truly be the last chance to catch the final train! Opportunities wait for no one! Worldway experts point out that the top priority for EB-5 investors is to quickly lock in projects that have already received exemplar approval from the USCIS, and that have low employment risk and low investment and repayment risk.


Currently, the DLJ Four Seasons Hotel and Resort project, which is a hot seller at Worldway, is a high-quality project with a full set of I-526 application documents already approved by the USCIS as an exemplar. This project also possesses multiple concentrated advantages, including a 1.4x employment creation rate, and is provided with first-priority status by a multi-billion dollar real estate fund with repayment from two major capital pools.
