Insight into the EB-5 China final action date forward movement in the March 2020 visa bulletin

Why did the EB 5 China final action date jump forward in the March 2020 visa bulletin?

There have been a number of questions as to why the final action date for EB-5 investors from China leaped forward 4.5 months in the March visa bulletin. United States Department of State’s visa guru Charlie Oppenheim has commented as to why this happened in his monthly “check-ins”.

According to Charlie, despite the significant number of EB-5 China applicants who are eligible to begin their visa application process, many applicants are not becoming documentarily qualified in a timely manner. Charlie noted the lack of demand and the decision to advance the final action date predates the COVID-19 outbreak. However, moving forward, the recent, temporary closure of the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou will impact EB-5 China number usage, with the exact impact being unknown and tied to the duration of the closure. As this situation is fluid, Charlie cautions against speculating as to what impact this might have on the EB-5 China final action date. Applicants should not infer that a temporary halt in processing would necessarily cause the final action date to advance more quickly.

How Can My Relatives and Dependents Help Me Meet the Income Requirements for the Affidavit of Support?

For individuals seeking lawful permanent residency while remaining in the United States, the Adjustment of Status (AOS) process offers a pathway to obtain a Green Card without leaving the country. In family-based immigration scenarios, a pivotal element of this process is the Form I-864, Affidavit of Support (“Form I-864”). This document creates a legal obligation between the Sponsor and the U.S. The Sponsor agrees to provide financial support to the immigrant (“Beneficiary”), ensuring they will not become reliant on government assistance. By submitting this affidavit, the Sponsor is contractually bound to undertake financial responsibility to ensure that the Beneficiary does not become a public charge. If Sponsor’s income falls short of the U.S. government’s minimum financial requirements for the Beneficiary, the Sponsor may be able to include the income of certain household members or dependents — but only if they meet specific criteria and agree to share legal responsibility.

What is a Form I-130A Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary?

A Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary (“Form I-130A”) is a supplemental form that is submitted with a Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative and supplemental documentation to the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). A Form I-130A is only required when a U.S. Citizen or Lawful Permanent Resident (“Green Card Holder”) is petitioning his or her foreign spouse. A Form I-130A is not required for all other Form I-130 filings, for example, for parents and children. The Form I-130A asks for specific information related to the foreign spouse. This includes the names, place of birth, and birth dates of his or her parents; previous and current addresses, previous marriages (if any); and other questions which the foreign spouse must answer truthfully. Once completed and submitted with the accompanying Form I-130 Petition, USCIS will commence processing. If USCIS determines that any additional information is needed, it will send
