Recently, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) updated the average processing times for EB-5 cases. The estimated processing time for I-526 petitions is 19.5-25 months; for I-829 petitions, it is 30-39 months; and for I-924 applications, it is 18-23.5 months.
According to the latest processing progress, the case inquiry date for I-526 petitions is July 21, 2016, which is an advancement of 51 days compared to the previous month's inquiry date of May 31, 2016.
The case inquiry date for I-829 petitions is May 24, 2015, which is an advancement of 33 days compared to the previous month's inquiry date of April 21, 2015.
The case inquiry date for I-924 applications is September 14, 2016, which is an advancement of 91 days compared to the previous month's inquiry date of June 15, 2016.
It is important to remind everyone that each applicant and EB-5 project is unique, and it is normal for approval times at various stages to fluctuate slightly within the aforementioned timeframes.
As you are aware, the U.S. EB-5 Regional Center Program is currently extended until September 30. With only 54 days remaining until the deadline, a price increase is inevitable, and the $500,000 low-cost immigration route to the U.S. may soon become history. Experts at WorldWay Group advise investors seeking green cards: immigrate to the U.S. sooner rather than later. Applying as soon as possible and obtaining approval quickly is the best way to reasonably address the uncertainties brought about by future changes in U.S. EB-5 policy.
When immigrating to the U.S., the most important factor is choosing a high-quality EB-5 project. Under the current circumstances, you may choose high-quality projects that have already been approved by USCIS, offer the potential to shorten visa backlogs, have completed all job creation, and provide first-priority repayment guarantees. Examples include the highly popular projects in the EB-5 market offered by WorldWay: the Manhattan No. 9 Luxury Boutique Hotel and Dallas No. 1. Both projects possess numerous advantages that significantly protect investors' interests and assist them in successfully immigrating to the U.S.
Quotas for high-quality projects are limited. Those interested in immigrating to the U.S. should make their choices as soon as possible; good projects do not wait, and once the "last train" for $500,000 low-cost U.S. immigration is missed, it will not return.
