Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. Department of State announced that, starting from March 20, 2020, local time, it would suspend routine immigrant and non-immigrant visa appointments, as well as visa applications that do not require an in-person interview, providing only emergency visas. The affected applicants include those in multiple categories such as multiple-entry visas (B1/B2), immigrant visas, student visas, work visas, and scholar visas.

Under the Pandemic, Global EB-5 Visa Applicants Return to the Same Starting Line

 

  In February, the pandemic severely affected mainland China, leading the U.S. consulates in China to suspend visa services, while visa applications in other parts of the world continued as usual. Previously, many investors were concerned that the visa quotas for applicants from mainland China might be occupied by applicants from other countries. With the U.S. Department of State announcing the cancellation of immigration and non-immigrant visa services for most countries globally, the global EB-5 immigration visa applications have returned to the same starting line.

 

  Meanwhile, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) also announced that, starting from March 18, all offices would be temporarily closed. All public services, including interviews, naturalization ceremonies, fingerprinting, and stamping, will be suspended until April 1. When they will reopen is subject to further notification from USCIS. It is worth noting that the suspension only applies to public services; the acceptance and processing of immigration applications will continue as usual. The NVC visa team of the WorldWay Immigration Group, along with the North American client relations team and relevant law firms, will continue to race against time, working overtime to expedite the I-485 status adjustment applications for applicants who meet the submission criteria in March.

 

  As a company focused on investment immigration for over 20 years and ranked among Asia's top 500 brands, the WorldWay Immigration Group will continue to monitor the U.S. Department of State's updates regarding the suspension of immigration and non-immigrant visa services, as well as the reopening of USCIS offices, and will share any new information promptly.

  Currently, the Yellowstone Club Phase II EB-5 project, which offers a rare opportunity to immigrate to the United States for only $900,000, will become a preferred choice for investors. This project combines numerous unique advantages, including dual approvals from the immigration bureau, completed I-829 employment, and a fivefold asset value mortgage repayment, greatly safeguarding investors' interests and making it popular among investors.

 

  Top Ten Advantages of the Yellowstone Club Phase II EB-5 Project:

  1. Rural EB-5 project, allowing immigration at a low price of $900,000.

  2. The project has received dual approvals for I-526 sample and actual cases.

  3. Extremely high employment multiples; construction has started, and the required employment has been completed in advance.

  4. Low EB-5 proportion, high equity investment proportion.

  5. Extremely high value mortgage, with mortgage value reaching five times the EB-5 loan amount.

  6. Strong brand appeal of the Yellowstone Club, with nearly half of the apartments pre-sold.
