Great news! The "University City Hilton Hotel" EB-5 rural project, for which Worldway serves as the exclusive agent in Greater China and which has already received I-956F approval, has celebrated the successful I-526E approval of its first investor. From submission to I-526E approval, it took only 11 months, a speed that once again highlights the efficiency of the approval process under the new EB-5 policy. Worldway congratulates the investor on successfully passing the "approval and visa bulletin" stage of the three key hurdles in EB-5 investment. Furthermore, the I-829 job creation requirement for this project has already been met, ensuring the investor's permanent green card is secure, which means the "green card hurdle" is also well within reach. Having successfully passed two of the three hurdles, the return of the investment capital is also on the horizon.

【Timeline of Worldway Client's Application】

Principal applicant Ms. M, immigrating with her husband and two children; the eldest child turned 21 on May 31, 2024.

 March 18, 2024: Signed contract and transferred to documentation team

 May 8, 2024: Remitted investment funds

 May 13, 2024: Submitted to legal counsel

 May 24, 2024: Submitted to USCIS

 May 28, 2024: Received by USCIS; submission completed before the eldest child reached the age limit, successfully locking the age.

 April 9, 2025: Approved by USCIS


It is worth noting that the case of Ms. M is exemplary. Her eldest son was facing the risk of aging out on May 31, 2024, making the immigration application timeline extremely tight. At this critical juncture, the Worldway team acted swiftly, with the documentation team demonstrating exceptional professionalism and high efficiency. Working against the clock, they meticulously prepared all application documents in just over two months and successfully submitted the I-526E application one week before the child reached the age limit, ensuring USCIS received it within a reasonable timeframe. Facts have proven that this decision was absolutely correct; it took 4 days from submission to successful receipt by USCIS, effectively avoiding the aging-out risk.

The ability to achieve this key goal of "age-locking" is due to the visa-bulletin-exemption policy under the new law. With the support of this favorable policy, as long as USCIS successfully receives the I-526E application before the child turns 21, and there is no visa backlog when the I-526E is approved, the age can be precisely "locked." This measure undoubtedly became a key turning point in Ms. M's entire immigration application process and highlights the Worldway team's precise grasp of the policy. Fortunately, the application journey for Ms. M and her children went smoothly. In just 11 months, the good news of the I-526E approval arrived as scheduled, bringing a successful conclusion to this race against time. This once again reflects the professionalism of Worldway.

As everyone knows, submitting the I-526E application is the first and most important step for investors in the U.S. EB-5 investment immigration process. This step mainly involves submitting documents explaining the source of funds, personal documents, and project documents. The approval of the I-526E immigration application means that the investor's source of funds and the invested project have been recognized by USCIS. Once this step is approved, the next step is to apply for a U.S. green card according to the standard process. Worldway once again congratulates Ms. M.

The "University City Hilton Hotel" EB-5 rural project is located in Boone, North Carolina, adjacent to Appalachian State University and within walking distance of downtown Boone, offering a prime location. Currently, the project has opened and is operating steadily, laying a solid foundation for the investment returns of EB-5 project investors and adding a firm guarantee for their immigration applications.

This project has been screened and strictly vetted by Worldway Group and is a high-quality rural TEA project that complies with the new act. It not only enjoys reserved EB-5 visa quotas but also receives priority processing from USCIS. It combines many advantages such as no visa backlog, priority approval, and first-priority mortgage guarantee for EB-5 funds, helping your whole family quickly obtain a U.S. green card without a backlog. Project quotas are limited, so act fast!
