Vietnam Investors Leap Forward Almost 2 Months on the April visa bulletin

Good news for Vietnam EB-5 Investors, as the “Final Action Date” priority date on the Department of State’s April visa bulletin leaped forward by almost two months, from October 22, 2017 to December 15, 2017.  The priority date indicates that any Vietnamese investors who filed their I-526 Petitions on or before December 15, 2017 now have visas available. If you are such an investor, you should contact the National Visa Center to begin your visa application process (if you have not already done so because of current Dates for Filing). See here.

The Final Action Date for Chinese investors remains unchanged since last October   on August 15, 2015.  No EB-5 visas have been issued by the U.S. Consulate in Guangzhou since early 2020 and only a handful of Chinese applicants were eligible to adjust their status in the United States.

The Vietnam priority date movement is mostly due to the U.S. Consulate in Ho Chi Minh City having resumed limited capacity .

The Final Action Date for the rest of the world remains current.

The Dates for Filing (Table B) remains current as has been the norm for Vietnam investors who will be classified under “All Chargeability Areas except those listed”.

What do the Final Action Date and Dates for Filing Applications mean?

If you have any questions about the visa bulletin, priority dates, the EB-5 visa or other U.S. visas, contact us at   info@enterlinepartners.com and speak with a U.S. immigration attorney based in Ho Chi Minh City, Manila and Taipei.

Everything You Need to Know About the U.S. Immigration Medical Exam

All immigrant visa applicants (i.e. those applying for a Green Card) are required to complete a medical exam at a designated clinic by a panel physician as part of the process. The purpose of the exam is to ensure that applicants are not carriers of any serious infectious diseases or other health conditions that could pose a public health risk in the United States. If you’re feeling unsure or overwhelmed by what’s involved, we have created a guide to help. Who Is Required to Undergo a U.S. Immigration Medical Exam?

DOS Will Now Require Immigrant Visa Applicants to Interview in Place of Residence or Country of Nationality

The United States Department of State (“DOS”) is now requiring immigrant visa applicants to apply for immigrant visas in the consular district designated for their place of residence or in their country of nationality. Effective immediately, if an immigrant visa applicant would like to transfer his or her pending immigrant visa case to a new consular district after the National Visa Center (“NVC”) has scheduled an interview appointment, the applicant should contact the NVC directly through the public inquiry form and not the Embassy or Consulate. In addition, if an immigrant visa applicant requests to be interviewed at an Embassy or Consulate outside their country of nationality, the NVC may request additional information to confirm that the location is the applicant’s place of residence or to confirm if an exception may be warranted. The DOS may make rare exceptions for humanitarian, medical emergencies, or other foreign policy considerations. For more

Who Can You Sponsor As A U.S. Citizen? Understanding Sponsorship Ineligibility for United States Family Visas

Learn who can you sponsor as a U.S. citizen for family-based visas. While the U.S. family-based immigration system offers a way for U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (“Green Card Holders”) to sponsor relatives, not everyone can be a sponsor and not all family members qualify. In this guide, we will explain cases where a sponsor can or cannot sponsor a family member to immigrate to the U.S., and why obtaining trusted legal advice is an essential first step in family immigration. Who Can a Citizen Sponsor? To sponsor a family member, you must meet certain requirements set by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). Sponsorship is typically available to U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (“Green Card Holders”), but who can a U.S. citizen sponsor for a green card also depends on your relationship to the individual family member. You may be eligible to sponsor a family
