The U.S. investment immigration I-526 approval is a significant historical milestone for investors to obtain a U.S. immigrant green card. What are the official data for U.S. investment immigration I-526 approvals in fiscal year 2015? What issues are hidden behind these data? What insights do they provide to investors? On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of Worldway Group's successful promotion of U.S. investment immigration, we will provide an authoritative interpretation of the latest U.S. investment immigration I-526 approval data:
USCIS Officially Releases Recent I-526 Immigration Application Data
Data from the official U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website shows that in fiscal year 2015, USCIS approved or denied a total of over 9,800 I-526 applications. It is worth noting for investors that as of the end of fiscal year 2015, both the volume of I-526 applications and the approval rate reached record highs, yet there were still over 17,367 I-526 applications pending review by USCIS, waiting in line for the process to move forward.
Trend Chart of EB-5 Visa Approval Times Over the Past Year:
Looking at the EB-5 approval times and trends over the past year, the processing speed for U.S. immigration EB-5 cases continues to slow down. Therefore, investors should apply, submit documents, and remit funds as early as possible to avoid the peak of application backlogs.
【Worldway Group Authoritative Interpretation】 It is highly likely that the new U.S. investment immigration EB-5 bill will be passed before September 30th. Furthermore, uncertainties regarding job calculation methods, potential major changes to Targeted Employment Areas (TEA), and more severe visa backlog issues have extended a series of uncertainties. Worldway Group's U.S. immigration experts believe that in the current situation, investors should quickly invest in high-quality EB-5 projects that have already been approved.
Currently, the two major approved projects for which Worldway Group serves as the exclusive chief agent in China—the DLJ Four Seasons Hotel and Resort project (a successfully approved project with investment and repayment from the 100-billion-dollar real estate fund DLJ) and the 90 Columbus Apartment project (a rare Manhattan concept apartment project with a sample-approved full set of I-526 documents)—are highly sought after by investors due to their numerous advantages, including strong developer strength, sufficient job creation, low investment and repayment risks, and sound exit mechanisms.
