What does immigration scheduling mean?

Immigration scheduling is based on (for example, America). Except for citizens who apply for immigration of foreign spouses, all other types of immigrants are scheduled, that is, you need to queue up. According to different types, the schedule is different, that is, the waiting time is different, ranging from one or two years to more than thirteen years.

First, the immigration schedule.

When the EB-5 visa quota reaches the upper limit, the State Council, USA must trace back according to the number of approved I-526 investors and the visa quota for the current fiscal year, and set a "deadline" for visa applicants.

And give priority to EB-5 visas to applicants whose "priority date" is earlier than the "deadline".

Therefore, the waiting period (EB-5 scheduling) is the time when the "deadline" in the I-526 approval notice for investors to wait for visas is later than their "priority date".

If the "priority date" of the visa applicant is earlier than the "deadline", you can apply for EB-5 visa or adjust your status; If the priority date is later than the deadline, you cannot apply for EB-5 visa or adjust your status. You must wait until the deadline is after the priority date before the quota is available.

Since May of 20 15, 1 year, Chinese mainland-born investors have been scheduled.

When is the priority date for EB-5 investors? When EB-5 investors submit an I-526 application, the date when their I-526 application is accepted by the US Immigration Service is regarded as the "priority date" of EB-5 applicants.

The priority date is provided by the US Immigration Service and will appear on the notice of EB-5 application acceptance from the Immigration Service. In the scheduling era, "priority date" will become an important legal basis for investors to get EB-5 visas first.

Due to the large number of EB-5 immigrant visa applications from Chinese mainland, the "deadline" is limited to investors born in Chinese mainland, excluding investors born in other countries or other parts of China, such as Hongkong, Macau and Taiwan Province Province.

Generally speaking, when applying for EB-5 visa, the applicant uses the place of birth, not necessarily the nationality.
