The U.S. Department of State's Visa Office has just released the EB-5 immigrant visa bulletin for March 2017. The latest results show that the EB-5 visa schedule has moved forward by two weeks, advancing from April 15, 2014, to May 1, 2014.
Chart A: Final Action Date (FAD)
(Note: Consular Processing at the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou & USCIS I-485 Adjustment of Status Applications)
Chart B: Date for Filing Application (DFF)
(Note: For those who have already obtained legal residency in the U.S., filing an I-485 Adjustment of Status application with USCIS)
【WorldWay Analysis】
1. According to Chart A, if your I-526 petition has been approved and your priority date is earlier than May 1, 2014, you may initiate consular processing at the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou or file an I-485 application in the United States in March to obtain an immigrant visa or U.S. Green Card.
2. Regarding Chart B, the Date for Filing (DFF) is June 15, 2014. Whether this will be opened remains subject to confirmation from USCIS, which will take approximately one week to clarify.
【Friendly Reminder】
WorldWay reminds you: 2017 is destined to be a turbulent year for U.S. investment immigration. Facing potential EB-5 price hikes, shutdown proposals, the upcoming expiration of the act on April 28, and the Chinese foreign exchange controls starting July 1, investors interested in U.S. investment immigration should take action to lock in projects that have already received exemplar approval and complete their investments as soon as possible to race against time.
By accurately gauging the trends in U.S. investment immigration policy changes, WorldWay has carefully selected three high-quality projects that have already received USCIS exemplar approval, helping investors catch the last train for U.S. immigration before the price increase.
