      The U.S. Department of State’s Visa Office has officially released the Visa Bulletin for October 2019, the first month of the new 2020 fiscal year, for the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. The latest results show that for Chart A, the final action date for EB-5 applicants is October 22, 2014; for Chart B, the date has advanced significantly by 5 weeks compared to September, reaching January 1, 2015.

 

  It is encouraging that USCIS continues to release positive news. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has officially announced that for October 2019, the first month of the new 2020 fiscal year, applicants who have already obtained other legal residence status in the United States may refer to the "Date of Filing Chart" (Chart B) published by the Department of State’s Visa Office to submit their adjustment of status applications (Form I-485) to USCIS.

  USCIS enabled Chart B for the first four months of the 2019 fiscal year (October 2018 to January 2019), but suspended its use starting from the fifth month, February 2019. After an 8-month suspension, Chart B has finally been re-enabled for October 2019, the first month of the 2020 fiscal year.

 

  According to the Department of State’s Visa Bulletin: for Chart A, the final action date for EB-5 applicants is October 22, 2014; for Chart B, the filing date for EB-5 applicants is January 1, 2015. The difference between the dates in Chart A and Chart B is approximately 70 days. This is undoubtedly a major benefit for applicants who have already obtained other legal residence status and are within the United States seeking to adjust their status.

 

  Eligible applicants should seize this valuable opportunity to submit their I-485 adjustment of status applications. Worldway Group will continue to monitor whether USCIS will continue to enable Chart B in the following month.

 

  Currently, there are only two months left to immigrate to the United States at the low cost of $500,000. Time is running out for investors, and it is urgent to catch the "last train" before the price increase. After November 21, the investment amount for the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program in Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs) will increase from $500,000 to $900,000, and the investment amount for non-TEAs will increase from $1 million to $1.8 million. This means that investors will need to pay several million RMB more to obtain a U.S. Green Card!

 

  Now is a favorable time for investors to immigrate to the United States. When choosing an EB-5 project, investors should comprehensively consider the following factors by "passing three hurdles" to make the right choice: whether the project has been approved, whether the funds are in place, whether the jobs required for I-829 condition removal can be completed, the value of the collateral for the EB-5 loan, whether there is additional repayment security, and the strength of the developer. The Dallas No. 1 project, which is currently favored by investors in the market, is the best choice to help investors catch the last train for low-cost immigration to the United States. The project has numerous advantages that maximize the protection of investors' interests.

 

  Dallas No. 1 EB-5 Project Advantages:

 

  ● "Dual approval" of the project I-526 exemplar and individual investor cases

  ● Located in a prime area of the U.S. economic growth pole with an excellent geographical position

  ● Personally managed and signed by a billionaire

  ● Total repayment collateral security is as high as 3.8 times the EB-5 funding

  ● Project construction is progressing smoothly, and the required jobs for the project have been over-fulfilled

  ● Developer provides a refund guarantee to protect investors in case of I-526 denial

  ● Independent third-party institution audits the disbursement of EB-5 loans

  ● Pioneered the use of "buyer's counsel" to protect the rights and interests of EB-5 investors

  ● Dual independent regulatory mechanism

  ● Strong professional EB-5 team providing oversight

  ● Strong market demand and broad development prospects

  It is recommended that investors who have decided to immigrate to the United States and have mature financial conditions should select a reliable EB-5 project and submit their applications as soon as possible to catch the "last train" of the current $500,000 low-threshold immigration policy. Good projects do not wait; project quotas are tight, so please hurry to subscribe. Project hotline: 400-138-2929.
