The "golden window" for U.S. EB-5 investment immigration is entering an accelerated sprint phase. The protection period for the "grandfather clause" under the new EB-5 policy will expire on September 30, 2026. For families intending to plan for long-term U.S. residency, this is not only a critical period for selecting high-quality projects but also a decisive moment to lock in policy dividends and seize the opportunity for early submission.The "grandfather clause" protection period for the new EB-5 policy will expire on September 30, 2026.

This event will be held successively in Shenzhen on June 7, Shanghai on June 13, and Beijing on June 14.
At that time, senior immigration attorneys from the renowned U.S. immigration law firm Miller Mayer, executives from the multi-billion dollar U.S. fund Peachtree Group, and several distinguished guests will be present. The guests will provide a systematic analysis of issues of high concern to investors, such as the EB-5 policy window, core project highlights, and submission timelines. Reservations for seats in the three cities are now open. Space is limited, and interested families are cordially invited to secure their seats in advance.
Two and a Half Years of Verification
Waiting Only for the Truly Mature Moment
As the fifth major collaboration between WorldWay and the multi-billion dollar U.S. fund Peachtree Group on a new EB-5 project, the safety and stability of the "Marriott Lake Oconee Resort" are backed by real evidence. Dr. Winner Xing, Chairman of WorldWay, and other senior executives have visited the U.S. twice for on-site inspections.
In September 2023, when he first stood at the project site—the shores of Lake Oconee in Georgia—it was still just a forest.
It was not until he arrived at the site again in February 2026 that he saw a completely different scene:
• The developer has invested approximately $35 million in real capital (including land)
• Completed all site preparation and planning formulation
• Construction team and all necessary permits and approvals are in place
It was precisely because they witnessed the project move from the "preparation stage" to "substantial implementation" that Peachtree Group finally decided to officially release the funds and launch the partnership.
Why did Peachtree Group wait two years before releasing the funds?
At the project inspection site, Dr. Winner Xing, Chairman of WorldWay, had an in-depth exchange with Adam Greene, Executive Vice President of EB-5 Investments at Peachtree Group.
Adam Greene admitted: "As early as two years ago, the team had already noted the development potential of the developer and the area where the project is located, but Peachtree Group has always adhered to one principle—funds are only invested in projects that truly have the conditions for implementation."
In the EB-5 industry, many projects start fundraising without sufficient preparation, but Peachtree Group chooses to continuously track, conduct strict due diligence, and wait patiently. Finally, only after confirming that the developer had completed preliminary investments, site preparation, obtained approvals, and that construction conditions were mature, did they officially proceed with the loan and partnership.
This long-term perspective and strict risk control are the important foundations for the approximately $10 billion in loan volume that Peachtree Group has accumulated over the past nineteen years.
And this is also an important reason for the fifth deep collaboration between WorldWay and Peachtree Group.
Combining Lake Resources with Internationally Renowned Brands
Creating a High-Quality Vacation Experience
The "Marriott Lake Oconee Resort" project is located in the core area of the west bank of Lake Oconee, Georgia, USA. It features:
• Over 19,000 acres of lake resources;
• 374 miles of shoreline;
• Approximately 1.5 hours' drive from Atlanta;
• Surrounded by 11 championship-level golf courses.
The project has a planned total construction area of approximately 218,814 square feet and introduces the Autograph Collection brand system under Marriott International. It is planned to be a comprehensive development integrating a lakeside resort hotel and branded residences, covering functions such as hotel accommodation, dining and social events, conferences and weddings, spa and wellness, and water leisure.
Compared to some existing residential products in the surrounding area, the project presents a differentiated positioning in terms of brand operation, supporting planning, and the creation of vacation scenarios, dedicated to meeting the diverse needs of some clients for quality vacations and lifestyles.
It is worth noting that the 12 Marriott-branded residences in the project were fully subscribed before they were even officially promoted.
The market has already given its answer: what is truly lacking is never ordinary housing, but irreplaceable lake views, international brand endorsement, mature high-end supporting facilities, and professional, unified operational capabilities.
Sprinting to "930", the Window of Opportunity is Shrinking
Facing a time window that is tightening, high-quality EB-5 projects are not always available.
The "Marriott Lake Oconee Resort" project, verified over two and a half years, refined through five collaborations, and supported by the risk control of a multi-billion dollar fund, is becoming an important choice for high-net-worth families.
Starting from $800,000, plan for a U.S. Green Card for the whole family. Opportunities are reserved for those who plan ahead.
Great news! To help investors sprint to the EB-5 "930" golden window, WorldWay is launching a limited-time promotional event. Clients who process U.S. immigration projects during June 2026 can enjoy exclusive WorldWay benefits. For details, please contact your dedicated WorldWay consultant or customer service.
