Recently, the U.S. Department of State's Visa Office released the EB-5 visa bulletin for the third month of fiscal year 2018, which corresponds to December 2017. The latest results indicate that compared to November, the priority date for EB-5 visas in the third month of fiscal year 2018 has advanced by two weeks, moving from July 1, 2014, to July 15, 2014. Additionally, compared to November, the Date for Filing Application (Chart B) remains unchanged at October 1, 2014.
Chart A: Final Action Date (FAD)
(Note: Consular interview & submission of I-485 application to adjust status)
Chart B: Date for Filing Application (DFF)
(Note: For applicants who have obtained legal status in the U.S., submit I-485 application to adjust status)
【Interpretation by WorldWay Immigration】
1. Chart A (FAD) shows that compared to November, the priority date for EB-5 visas in December has advanced by two weeks, moving from July 1, 2014, to July 15, 2014.
2. Chart B (DFF) indicates that compared to November, the priority date for EB-5 visas in December remains unchanged at October 1, 2014.
It is noteworthy that December 2017, as the third month of fiscal year 2018, has seen the EB-5 visa priority date advance beyond expectations, moving forward by two weeks. This means that investors who have received I-526 approval and have a priority date earlier than July 15, 2014, can proceed to the final interview at the Guangzhou consulate or submit the I-485 application for adjustment of status and obtain a green card.
A special reminder: In the new fiscal year of 2018, all employment-based immigration visa categories have suspended Chart B. This means that all employment-based immigration applicants must submit their I-485 applications for adjustment of status in the U.S. according to the "FAD" (Chart A) cutoff date published by the Department of State in the December visa bulletin.
WorldWay Immigration experts state: Although Chart B is temporarily suspended, the timeline for Chart A continues to advance slowly. In fact, the current visa priority dates are based solely on the existing immigration policies. While the current situation is challenging, the U.S. Congress, the U.S. Department of State's Visa Office, and the U.S. administration have all recognized the importance of priority dates. It is believed that the issues surrounding the EB-5 visa priority dates will ultimately be resolved fundamentally.
The U.S. EB-5 investment immigration program is widely favored by Chinese investors due to its various advantages. No language requirements, relatively low investment amounts, refundable funds, no residency requirements for the green card, and free access to high-quality education in the U.S. for children all highlight the benefits of U.S. investment immigration. It can also be seen that successfully obtaining a green card through immigration to the U.S. is key; the priority date is merely a matter of time, and even if resolved, it only addresses the speed of the process.
For investors, it is crucial not to lose sight of the main goal and allow priority date issues to disrupt immigration plans. One must realize that the priority date is not the primary consideration for immigrating to the U.S.; the green card is the foremost priority.
Preparation is key; if you anticipate moving to the U.S., why not choose a quality EB-5 project and get in line early to obtain your green card sooner?
A quality EB-5 project not only ensures that investors can successfully obtain their green cards but also facilitates the smooth return of their investment funds, which is the key to truly protecting investors' interests. Of course, from the investors' perspective, choosing a professional immigration company and EB-5 project is equally important.
As a leading institution in investment immigration, WorldWay Immigration Group continues to receive approval news for clients even amidst the challenging priority date environment, repeatedly breaking industry approval records, which is sufficient to demonstrate WorldWay's strength and professionalism, further highlighting WorldWay's speed and brand. Therefore, for immigration to the U.S., WorldWay and its quality EB-5 projects are undoubtedly your wise choice.
