The U.S. Department of State Visa Office has officially released the EB-5 Visa Bulletin for February 2020, the fifth month of the new 2020 fiscal year. The latest results show that for Table A, the priority date cut-off for EB-5 applicants is December 1, 2014, an advance of 9 days compared to January; Table B remains unchanged at May 15, 2015.
Table A: Final Action Date (FAD)
(Note: Consular Processing at Guangzhou Consulate & USCIS I-485 Adjustment of Status)
Table B: Date for Filing Application (DFF)
(Note: For those already with legal residence status in the U.S., filing Form I-485 for Adjustment of Status)
[Worldway Group Interpretation]
I. The EB-5 investor visa cut-off date is December 1, 2014, an advance of 9 days. Investors who have received I-526 approval and have a priority date earlier than December 1, 2014, may proceed to the final consular interview stage or file an I-485 Adjustment of Status application in the U.S. to obtain a Green Card.
II. USCIS enabled the use of Table B during the first four months of the 2020 fiscal year, i.e., October, November, and December 2019, and January 2020. Whether Table B will be enabled in the future remains to be seen.
The U.S. immigration administrative reform regulations officially took effect on November 21, 2019: the investment amount for projects in Targeted Employment Areas (TEA) increased from $500,000 to $900,000; the investment amount for projects outside TEA areas increased from $1 million to $1.8 million. Furthermore, most existing high-unemployment TEA projects no longer meet the TEA certification requirements, and the investment amount for continuing to invest in such EB-5 projects has risen from $500,000 to $1.8 million, an increase of 3.6 times compared to before the regulations took effect.
With the substantial increase in U.S. immigration investment amounts, demand from emerging EB-5 markets such as India and Vietnam is expected to decrease, which will have a positive impact on Chinese investors—the phenomenon of "queue jumping" will be significantly eliminated, and the wait time for visas will be drastically shortened. Additionally, as the EB-5 visa quota for the 2020 fiscal year has increased, the backlog issue that has plagued investors born in mainland China may be effectively alleviated. For investors with a genuine need to immigrate to the United States, current EB-5 projects that comply with the new TEA region regulations—projects requiring an investment of $900,000—are a superior choice.
The Yellowstone Club Phase II project, recently promoted by Worldway Group, is one of the few "diamond-level" EB-5 projects currently on the market that allows immigration to the U.S. for the minimum investment of $900,000. With only 40 spots remaining, this is a rare opportunity. The project combines many prominent advantages, providing significant security for investors' interests.
Ten Advantages of the Yellowstone Club Phase II EB-5 Project:
1. Rural area EB-5 project, eligible for the $900,000 low-investment threshold.
2. Project has already received both I-526 exemplar and actual case approvals.
3. High employment multiplier; construction has commenced, and the required jobs have already been fulfilled ahead of schedule.
4. Low EB-5 capitalization ratio with a high percentage of equity investment.
5. High-value collateral, with a collateral value reaching 5 times the EB-5 loan amount.
6. Strong brand appeal of the Yellowstone Club, with 1/3 of the apartments pre-sold.
7. Hosted, operated, and managed by the renowned luxury hotel brand Montage.
8. Developed and constructed by the experienced and powerful developer CrossHarbor.
9. Replicates the successful experience of the Yellowstone Club Phase I EB-5 project.
10. Managed by a professional EB-5 team & marks the third successful collaboration between Worldway and EB-5.
High-quality projects will not wait. This opportunity to immigrate to the U.S. for the $900,000 minimum investment must be seized immediately. Spots are limited—please reserve yours today. For project details, please call: 400-138-2929.
