Recently, with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) releasing the visa issuance figures for September 2023, the overall data for the 2023 fiscal year has been finalized. In summary, a total of 8,506 EB-5 visas were issued through consulates in the 2023 fiscal year, representing a 23.6% increase compared to the 2022 fiscal year. Preliminary data indicates that over 1,500 visas were issued through AOS (Adjustment of Status within the United States). In other words, approximately 11,000 EB-5 visas were issued in the 2023 fiscal year.
Additionally, according to two sets of statistics on EB-5 visa issuance (one based on the applicant's country of birth and the other based on visas issued by various embassies and consulates), 5,718 EB-5 visas were issued to applicants from mainland China in the 2023 fiscal year, accounting for 67% of the total EB-5 visas issued. Among these, 5,561 visas were issued through the U.S. Consulate General in Guangzhou.
As is well known, for those immigrating to the United States, the EB-5 investment immigration program is a popular choice among Chinese nationals. The requirements for EB-5 investment immigration are flexible, with no restrictions on age, academic qualifications, language proficiency, business background, or work experience. A single application allows the entire family to immigrate to the United States, where they can live and work anywhere in the country. Children can enjoy free public education (K-12), and the spouse and unmarried children under the age of 21 can immigrate together.
The best time to immigrate is always now, and the race for the 2024 fiscal year EB-5 new policy visa quota has officially begun. According to the new act, the EB-5 visa set-aside categories will receive a 32% visa quota for the 2024 fiscal year, which is approximately 3,658 visas. There were 4,478 unused set-aside visas from the 2023 fiscal year, and according to the visa allocation rules of the new policy, unused visa quotas will carry over to the same category in the next fiscal year (i.e., the 2024 fiscal year). Therefore, the total set-aside visa quota for the 2024 fiscal year is approximately 8,136 visas (3,658 + 4,478).
Currently, subscription for the EB-5 visa set-aside category projects with no visa backlog is in high demand. For investors with a rigid need to immigrate to the United States, do not hesitate; please proceed as soon as possible to lock in the policy benefits, secure the new fiscal year's visa quota, and benefit from early application to obtain your Green Card sooner and begin your American journey.
