This change in I-526 adjudication principles may serve as a turning point for families where a child is the principal applicant, the I-526 petition remains pending despite a later priority date, and they are facing the risk of aging out.
As is widely understood, under current policy, a child's age can be "frozen" while an I-526 petition is pending. With the implementation of priority processing for non-backlogged cases, this "age-lock" period may be extended for families nearing the age limit, helping to avoid the risk of aging out. In fact, as early as 2016, industry professionals had urged USCIS to consider prioritizing the adjudication of cases without backlogs, allowing Chinese families to wait until a visa becomes available before their petitions are processed.
USCIS will host a stakeholder meeting on March 13 to discuss the implementation of this policy further. Worldway Group will continue to monitor the situation and share updates immediately.
Friendly Reminder:
With the significant increase in the U.S. immigrant investment amount, the demand for EB-5 in emerging markets such as India and Vietnam may decrease, which will have a positive impact on Chinese investors—drastically reducing the phenomenon of legal "queue jumping" and significantly shortening visa waiting times. Furthermore, with an increased EB-5 visa quota for the 2020 fiscal year, the backlog issues affecting investors born in mainland China may be effectively alleviated. For investors with a genuine, urgent need to immigrate to the U.S., the principle of "prepare early, apply early, line up early, and benefit early" remains an immutable truth. Good projects do not wait, and the opportunity to immigrate to the U.S. at the $900,000 price point must be seized promptly!
The Yellowstone Club Phase II EB-5 project currently introduced by Worldway is one of the few high-quality projects on the market that allows for immigration to the U.S. at the $900,000 investment level following the implementation of the new USCIS regulations. This project possesses numerous outstanding advantages, offering EB-5 investors a unique investment opportunity.

1. Rural area EB-5 project, qualifying for the lower $900,000 investment amount.
2. Project has received both I-526 exemplar and actual case approval.
3. Extremely high job creation multiple; construction has commenced, and the required jobs have been completed in advance.
4. Low EB-5 capital stack ratio with high equity investment proportion.
