USCIS allows Applicants in Employment Based and Family Based categories to use Date for Filing for Adjustment of Status in October

USCIS has determined that applicants may use the Dates for Filing chart on the Department of State’s (“DOS”) October Visa Bulletin.

For Family-Sponsored Filings: In the F2A category, there is a cutoff date on the Dates for Filing chart. However, the category is “current” on the Final Action Dates chart. This means that applicants in the F2A category may file using the Final Action Dates chart for October 2019. For all the other family-based preference categories, applicants must use the Dates for Filing chart.

For Employment-Based Preference Filings: Applicants must use the Dates for Filing chart in the Visa Bulletin. Since Vietnam is not listed on the Dates for Filing chart, adjustment applicants from Vietnam should use the worldwide dates found in the “All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed” column.

To understand more about the Dates for Filing and Final Action Dates charts on the DOS Visa Bulletin, read our article here.

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
