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.

Can I travel outside the U.S. and return after my I-829 is denied?

Traveling outside the United States after a Form I-829 Petition by Investor to Remove Conditions on Permanent Resident Status (“I-829 Petition”) denial is highly risky and strongly discouraged. While you, the investor and your family members, legally retain your Conditional Lawful Permanent Resident (“CPR”) status until a final administrative order of removal is issued by an immigration judge, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) enforces strict border policies, although improper, that can challenge your ability to return. Filing the I-829 Petition is the final step for investors in the U.S. EB-5 immigrant investor visa program. An approval of the I-829 Petition removes the two-year conditional restrictions on an investor’s residency, granting lawful permanent resident status, and allowing the investor, their spouse, and unmarried children under 21 to receive a 10-year “Green Card”. The denial of the I-829 Petition does not immediately result in loss of an investor’s CPR status. The

Regional Center Job Creation under the RIA

When evaluating whether an EB-5 investment meets the requirement that an investor create at least 10 jobs for qualified U.S. workers, there is now more guidance under the RIA than before. In general, an investment in a business sponsored by a Regional Center does not require all qualifying jobs come from employees hired directly by the business. Indirect and induced job creation based on approved methodologies remains the core of the Regional Center program advantage. As before the RIA, investors may rely on economically and statistically valid methodologies to determine the number of jobs attributable to the investment. These methodologies may be used to support estimates of directly created jobs and, where permitted under the statute, jobs created directly or indirectly through capital expenditures, increased export revenues, enhanced regional productivity, and broader domestic capital investment generated by the project. However, indirect job creation is now lightly restricted with only a
