Breaking the September 30 Deadline: Securing the Golden Era of EB-5 Green Cards
I-956F Approved for the North Carolina Sugar Mountain Hilton Hotel EB-5 Project!
Starting March 30, 2026, the EB-5 program enters the 'First-In, First-Out' (FIFO) era. Whether the I-956F has been approved has become a critical watershed affecting approval efficiency and the pace of status advancement. At this pivotal moment, WorldWay brings more major good news: the I-956F for the 'North Carolina Sugar Mountain Hilton Hotel' EB-5 rural project, launched through the fourth strong partnership between WorldWay and the multi-billion dollar PeachTree Group, was officially approved on March 13, 2026. The application was submitted on November 24, 2025, taking only 3.5 months from submission to approval, once again setting a new record for processing speed. What does I-956F approval mean? USCIS has clarified that starting March 30, 2026, it will generally adopt the 'First-In, First-Out' (FIFO) principle to allocate the processing order for I-526/I-526E applications. A prerequisite for this is that the corresponding I-526E application will only be included in processing after the I-956F form for the associated project has been formally approved.

Invitation | Sprinting for "930", EB-5 Experts' 2026 China Tour
In the realm of EB-5 investment immigration, "time" is cost. As the critical deadline of 2026 approaches—the "9.30" cutoff date stipulated by the grandfathering provision is only 6 months away. For many Chinese families, this is not just a number on the calendar, but a race against time concerning children's age limits, financial arrangements, and green card approvals. In this uncertain policy window, are you facing these confusions: • What hidden thresholds exist under the new I-526E approval rules? • Can rural projects truly achieve "priority processing"? • How can one expedite green card approval while remaining compliant? • With the impending policy changes, is it still possible to enter the process now?
From H-1B to Forced Departure: How to Navigate the Path to Staying in the United States?
Recently, reports have emerged that Meta is planning a new round of large-scale layoffs, potentially affecting up to 20% or more of its total workforce. Based on Meta's latest disclosure of 79,000 global employees, nearly 16,000 positions may be at risk of being cut. This news has quickly shaken the market.
Seize the Fast Track to an EB-5 Green Card! I-526E Approval Serves as a Key Indicator
Exciting news has emerged once again regarding U.S. EB-5 investment immigration. Recently, the EB-5 rural project 'Bryce Canyon Marriott Hotel,' launched through the second strategic partnership between WorldWay and the multi-billion dollar PeachTree Group, has received the joyous news of a large number of client I-526E immigration petition approvals. This progress not only brings great excitement to numerous investors but also once again highlights the significant advantages of high-quality rural projects in the current EB-5 policy environment. For EB-5 investors, the approval of the I-526E means that their source of funds and the invested project have been recognized by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This is a crucial step in the U.S. investment immigration application process. After passing this important milestone, applicants can proceed with their green card applications according to U.S. immigration procedures, moving steadily toward the goal of securing U.S. residency for their entire family.
H-1B Difficulty Escalates: The Landscape of U.S. Residency is Being Reshuffled
The H-1B visa has long been a vital pathway for many to work, live, and plan their futures in the United States. However, in the current policy environment, the real concern is no longer just "whether one can apply," but rather: whether this path remains as stable and predictable as it once was. Recently, it was reported that U.S. government attorneys disclosed at a federal court hearing that since the White House introduced a $100,000 surcharge for new H-1B applications submitted from abroad in September 2025, only about 70 U.S. employers have actually paid this fee. This figure is far below external expectations.
