Detailed introduction of EB-5 immigration schedule in the United States (1)

The United States is an economically developed country, and many people want to immigrate to the United States. So what is EB-5 scheduling? Here, I have compiled a detailed introduction to the EB-5 schedule of American immigrants (1). I hope it helps you. Welcome to read!

1. What is EB-5 scheduling?

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, set a "deadline" for visa applicants, and give priority to those 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.

2. What is the "priority day" 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.

3. What kind of investors will be affected by the scheduling?

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.

Fourth, how does the scheduling lead to the passive "overage" of the applicant's children under the age of 2/kloc-0?

According to American immigration law, unmarried children of EB-5 affiliated applicants cannot be over 265,438+0 years old. Once they reach this age, children are considered as independent families and cannot share the green card benefits brought by an investment unit as family members. According to the American Children's Law, the age of the principal applicant's children is "frozen" during the I-526 trial. Once the US Immigration Bureau issues the approved I-526 application, the child's age will continue to be calculated until it can be interviewed or submitted for investigation.

Due to the visa schedule, the applicant can't get the visa quota after I-526 is approved, which is likely to cause nearly 2/0 of the unmarried children of the applicant to be "over-aged" while waiting for the visa quota, thus being excluded from the main applicant's visa application and unable to immigrate to the United States with their parents.

5./kloc-can children under the age of 0/8 directly be the main applicants for EB-5?

The suggestion is that children over 16 can be the main applicants according to different project investors.

Although the law does not stipulate that children under the age of 18 cannot be the main applicants, different projects have different definitions and requirements for investor qualifications. When the applicant can prove to the project that he has the ability to participate in the investment behavior, he can be regarded as the investor of EB-5 and the main applicant of EB-5.
