According to the May visa bulletin, the reserved category for EB-5 visas for investors born in mainland China still has no wait time. Worldway reminds investors to act quickly to secure reserved visa quotas in advance and take advantage of the "fast track" for immigration to the U.S.!

 

The United States EB-5 investment immigration has implemented new policies, allowing applicants to submit a "dual submission" in the U.S., meaning applicants without wait time can simultaneously submit I-526E immigration applications and I-485 adjustment of status applications, and can also apply for travel permission I-131 and work permission I-765, also known as the "small green card." Approval of the travel permission I-131 application allows for legal and free entry and exit from the U.S. Approval of the work permission I-765 application allows for legal and free choice of employment.

 

Foreign students studying in the U.S., foreign nationals working in the U.S., individuals holding other valid legal non-immigrant visas in the U.S., parents accompanying students in the U.S., and "overage" children applying for investment immigration with their parents can all engage in "dual submission" in the U.S., thus facilitating a quicker transition to living and working in the United States.
