Worldway Immigration Group has learned: On May 12, the USCIS official website republished the latest EB-5 case processing updates as of March 31, 2016, with timely updates to the relevant times and data previously released on May 7:
EB-5 Investors: How to Determine Your Case Application Status:
1. I-526 processing status: As of March 31, 2016, EB-5 investors who successfully submitted their applications before November 23, 2014, have had some applications reviewed, some under review, or awaiting review, while those submitted after this date have generally not begun processing.
2. I-829 processing status: As of March 31, 2016, EB-5 investors who successfully submitted their applications before September 20, 2014, have had some applications reviewed, some under review, or awaiting review, while those submitted after this date have generally not begun processing.
3. I-924 processing status: As of March 31, 2016, those who successfully submitted applications before June 10, 2015, have had some applications reviewed, some under review, or awaiting review, while those submitted after this date have generally not begun processing.
【Worldway Interpretation】 According to the above table, it should be understood as follows:
1. I-526 processing time: The current average processing time is approximately 17 months;
2. I-829 processing time: The current average processing time is approximately 19 months;
3. I-924 processing time: The current average processing time is approximately 10 months;
【Worldway Reminder】 The data above indicates that the average processing time for the EB-5 immigrant investor program has once again slowed compared to January 2016. Worldway's immigration experts point out: it is better to act sooner rather than later due to increasing application fees and investment amounts. To avoid future uncertainties, EB-5 investors should act quickly to complete their investments before the September 30 deadline. Of course, investors should also be cautious in managing EB-5 project risks, prioritizing those projects that have been approved, with low investment and repayment risks, substantial job creation, and quality assurance that are unaffected by changes in EB-5 regulations and TEA reforms, situated near major urban centers.
Worldway Immigration Group has launched four high-quality EB-5 projects that are not affected by the TEA reforms and are located near major urban centers, based on an accurate analysis of the 2016 US investment immigration trends — the DLJ Four Seasons Hotel Resort Project (a project with successful approvals and repayment by large real estate funds) and the Columbus 90 Apartment Project (an approved conceptually unique apartment project in Manhattan, New York), as well as the solar power project in Nevada (a high employment rate project guaranteed by a large publicly traded company based in New York). These four projects, featuring reduced investment and repayment risks, substantial job creation, sound exit strategies, high quality collateral and guarantees, established developers, and reliable project teams, present investors with a superior choice for cost-effective immigration to the United States.
