Recently, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that it will optimize the adjudication procedures for EB-5 investment immigration applications, specifically by improving the processing workflow for Form I-526 (Immigrant Petition by Alien Investor), with the aim of increasing efficiency.
The announcement indicates that the new adjudication method will prioritize cases based on the availability of immigrant visas (i.e., whether the immigrant visa priority date is current or about to become current), referred to as the "Visa Availability Approach." This method applies to Form I-526 petitions filed before the enactment of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, prioritizing investors whose immigrant visas are available or soon to be available. According to USCIS processing procedures, Form I-526 petitions received are generally managed through a workflow queue management method.
With this optimization, USCIS emphasizes that for I-526 petitions filed before November 30, 2019, it will, in addition to the non-visa-backlog priority, assign multiple petitions associated with the same New Commercial Enterprise (NCE) to the same adjudicator for concurrent processing. USCIS believes this will improve adjudication efficiency and reduce backlogs.
It is foreseeable that this adjudication optimization notice will help accelerate processing speeds, significantly alleviate previous backlogs, and benefit the overall EB-5 investment immigration landscape. In fact, since the restart of the EB-5 Regional Center Program, according to visa issuance data released by the U.S. Department of State, the number of visas issued to Chinese investors has remained high. Recently, USCIS has continuously brought good news to investors, such as simplifying application processes and accelerating processing times, making policies more efficient and user-friendly to facilitate investors' travel to the United States. The new act has opened a new fast track for EB-5 applicants to the U.S.; it can be said that now is an excellent time to immigrate to the United States!
Under the new EB-5 immigration act, investors who choose one of the three categories of reserved visa projects do not need to wait for a visa backlog; they can overtake on the curve and have their applications accepted immediately upon submission! It is worth noting that rural TEA projects not only enjoy reserved visa quotas but will also receive priority processing from USCIS. Furthermore, the new act allows applicants who meet certain conditions to concurrently file Form I-526E/I-526 and Form I-485 for adjustment of status. Therefore, for applicants intending to immigrate to the U.S., this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and action must be taken early! As the number of applicants increases, hesitation means losing not only the locking of a priority date but also an irreplaceable golden opportunity!
Currently, the popular "Florida Lakefront Jewish Community" EB-5 rural project on the market offers Chinese investors an excellent opportunity to quickly obtain a U.S. Green Card! This project qualifies as a rural TEA project under the new act and features unique advantages such as no visa backlog, a project job creation multiplier as high as 5.44, and first-priority mortgage security for EB-5 funds. Moreover, the project is supported by $51.4 million in infrastructure funding from the U.S. government. A dedicated website, https://lakefrontestatescdd.org/, has been established for investors to verify the source of funds. Market demand for the project is strong, and all residential units in Phase I have been sold out. This is a high-quality rural EB-5 project that is hard to come by; after round after round of purchasing, the remaining spots are becoming fewer. Good projects do not wait; interested parties should subscribe as soon as possible!
