The March 2021 Visa Bulletin Priority Date – Three weeks forward for Vietnamese EB-5 immigrant investors; China frozen; Taiwan and rest of the world current.

Visa Bulletin for March 2021 Priority Date

Three weeks forward for Vietnamese EB-5 immigrant investors; China frozen; Taiwan and rest of the world current.

The “Final Action Date” priority date for Vietnamese EB-5 investors moved forward three weeks in the Department of State March 2021 visa bulletin, from October 1, 2017 to October 22, 2017.  The priority date indicates that any Vietnamese investors who filed their I-526 Petitions on or before October 22, 2017 now have visas available. If you are such an investor, you should be sure to 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 has been stuck on August 15, 2015 since October.  This is because no visas have been issued by the U.S. Consulate since early 2020 and only a handful of Chinese applicants were eligible to adjust their status in the United States.

The Final Action Date for the rest of the world are 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?

What is Advance Parole and How is it Different from a Re-Entry Permit?

Foreign nationals who arrive in the United States as nonimmigrants and then file for  adjustment of status may also file for advance parole in conjunction with their Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). Advance Parole differs from a Re-Entry Permit because while both use the same form; Form I-131, Application for Travel Documents, Parole Documents, and Arrival/Departure Records, USCIS issues Advance Parole to those seeking to temporarily depart the United States before their lawful permanent residence is approved. A re-entry permit is for those who are already lawful permanent residents and are looking to travel outside the United States for a short period without abandoning their permanent resident status.  An example of a foreign national who would be eligible for Advance Parole is somebody who entered the U.S. on a K-1 fiancé visa. After arriving and marrying

What is a Form I-212 Following Deportation From the United States?

If you have been deported from the United States and looking to re-enter, you may be eligible to file a Form I-212, Application for Permission to Reapply for Admission into the United States After Deportation or Removal (“Form I-212”). The Form I-212, which is submitted and adjudicated by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) is required for those who are seeking to enter the U.S. while they still have a re-entry bar after they have been deported. The Form I-212 is often filed in conjunction with a Form I-601, Waiver of Inadmissibility, which is used when a foreign national is found to be inadmissible based on previous criminal or immigration violations. However, unlike a Form I-601 in which the standard of review focuses on “extreme hardship” to the qualifying U.S. citizen or lawful permanent resident, if the foreign national is prohibited from being allowed to immigrate to the

“Class A or B (TB) )…requires attn of USPHS at POE ” Annotation On Your U.S. Immigrant Visa

Please note that your immigrant visa has an annotation “Class A or B (TB)…requires attn of USPHS at POE.” This notation refers to a finding related to tuberculosis (“TB”), a communicable disease of public health significance. During the required medical examination, the panel physician assessed whether you may have Class A or Class B tuberculosis.  Class A TB applies if you have active, infectious tuberculosis. If so, you are generally inadmissible to the United States until you have completed treatment and no longer pose a public health risk.  Class B TB applies if you have a history of tuberculosis, evidence of latent TB infection, or findings suggestive of non-infectious TB that require further evaluation or follow-up. The annotation “requires attn of USPHS at POE” means that you must be referred to the U.S. Public Health Service (“USPHS”) at the U.S. port of entry for further medical review or instructions. Upon
