Recently, news regarding "the U.S. to re-examine green cards approved during the Biden era" has drawn significant attention from many immigration applicants and families currently planning for U.S. residency.
The source of this news is a public statement made by the current Director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, Joseph B. Edlow, in an interview: USCIS will go back and re-examine green cards and other immigration benefit cases approved during the Biden administration, with a focus on old cases suspected of fraud. The official USCIS social media accounts subsequently relayed these remarks.
The U.S. is intensifying its crackdown on immigration fraud
It is reported that USCIS is establishing multiple reporting channels to encourage the public to report immigration fraud. Joseph B. Edlow stated: "No lead is too small, and we will work with our partners at Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP) to conduct investigations."
In fact, the U.S. immigration system is significantly increasing its efforts to combat fraud cases. In February of this year, Joseph B. Edlow confirmed to members of Congress that since the Trump administration took office on January 20, 2025, USCIS officials have submitted nearly 33,000 fraud cases to the "Fraud Detection and National Security Directorate," an increase of 138% compared to the annual average submissions of the previous administration. More notably, the anti-fraud and national security team has completed investigations into over 21,000 cases, with approximately 65% of those cases determined to involve fraud.
As the review process deepens, it is expected that more fraud cases will be exposed, potentially leading to an increase in green card revocations, termination of asylum, and deportation actions. USCIS officials stated that this process will be fact-based and strictly adhere to legal procedures, but there is absolutely no room for luck for those who commit fraud.
Compliance is the bottom line for U.S. residency security
These signals clearly indicate that the U.S. government is making the fight against immigration fraud a key priority for immigration enforcement and status review, and is continuously investing resources to strengthen review mechanisms. Of course, applicants who have obtained green cards through formal channels, authentic materials, and legal procedures need not panic.
However, it is worth reminding every applicant currently planning for U.S. residency that compliance is more important than ever.
In the current policy environment that emphasizes national interest, institutional accountability, and anti-fraud review, choosing a legal, mature, stable, and transparent immigration path is the foundation of residency security.
EB-5 investment immigration is a formal immigration category established by U.S. Congressional legislation. Since its inception in 1990, the EB-5 program has been in operation for over 30 years. Its institutional core lies in creating jobs for the U.S. through authentic investment, thereby helping eligible investors and their families apply for U.S. green cards.
In other words, EB-5 is a compliant immigration path built within the U.S. legal framework, based on authentic investment and job creation. The capital investment, project construction, and employment contributions it brings are highly aligned with the U.S. immigration system's policy goals of serving economic development and attracting foreign investment.
However, faced with numerous EB-5 projects on the market, with varying project backgrounds, developer strength, execution capabilities, and compliance levels, how to choose a project that is truly suitable for you is equally critical.
This also means that investors must not only choose a project but also pay attention to the developer's strength and the service capabilities of professional institutions. Choosing a strong, experienced developer, as well as a professional institution with true risk identification capabilities and experience in handling U.S. investment immigration, is crucial for EB-5 investors.
