Great news! The "University Town Hilton Hotel" EB-5 rural project, for which Worldway Group serves as the exclusive agent in Greater China and which has already received I-956F approval, has celebrated the successful approval of its first investor's I-526E petition. 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 Group congratulates the investor on successfully passing the "approval and visa retrogression" hurdle of the three key EB-5 investment milestones. 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 now in sight.
[Worldway Group Client Application Timeline]
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: Investment funds remitted
May 13, 2024: Submitted to attorney
May 24, 2024: Submitted to USCIS
May 28, 2024: Received by USCIS; submission completed before the eldest child reached the age limit, successfully locking in the child's age.
April 9, 2025: Approved by USCIS
It is worth noting that Ms. M's case is a classic example. 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 Group team acted swiftly, with the documentation team in particular demonstrating exceptional professional expertise and high efficiency. They worked against the clock, taking just over two months to meticulously prepare all application documents, and successfully submitted the I-526E application one week before the child aged out, ensuring USCIS received it within a reasonable timeframe. As it turned out, this decision was absolutely correct; it took 4 days from submission to successful receipt by USCIS, effectively avoiding the risk of aging out.
The ability to achieve this key goal of "age-locking" is thanks to the visa-retrogression-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 retrogression at the time of I-526E approval, the child's 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 Group 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 Group.

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-related documents. The approval of the I-526E immigration petition 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 Group once again congratulates Ms. M.
The "University Town Hilton Hotel" EB-5 rural project is located in Boone, North Carolina, adjacent to Appalachian State University and within walking distance of downtown Boone, boasting a prime location. Currently, the project has opened and is operating steadily, laying a solid foundation for the investment returns of EB-5 investors and providing a firm guarantee for their immigration applications.
The highly anticipated "University Town Hilton Hotel" EB-5 rural project has been fully sold out. Currently, the "Aspen Kodiak Apartments" EB-5 rural project, which is a hot seller in the market and has received dual approval for both I-956F and I-526E, is becoming the premier choice for investors to quickly immigrate to the United States due to its outstanding advantages.
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 exemption from visa retrogression, priority approval, and first-priority mortgage guarantee for EB-5 funds, helping your whole family quickly obtain a U.S. green card without retrogression. Project quotas are limited, so act fast!
