Preface: As you can see from this picture, in the past period of time, the rejection rate of I-526 has been very high, and in many months the number of rejections has even exceeded the number of approvals. Moreover, the number of cases withdrew applications is also quite high. From the peak of EB-5 suspension and withdrawal in July last year, it stabilized, and then there was a new wave of withdrawals when EB-5 was restarted in March this year.
In the past two years, the Immigration Bureau’s approval progress has been very slow. Whether it is from I-526 to I-829 or I-485 and Combo card, almost all investors are impatient to wait, and inevitably initiate a lawsuit to urge the Immigration Bureau. Get approval early.
Recently, American blogger Suzanne obtained the immigration approval data from unofficial channels and published it on her blog. Let’s take a look at the relevant data.
Table I, I-526 approval data from 2014 to date:
Among them, the data before the end of 2021 are all officially released by the Immigration Bureau, and the data in 2022 are unofficial data. We can see that since 2019, the approval data has dropped significantly. After the EB-5 regional center program was suspended in July 2021, only direct investment projects were approved, which further dropped significantly. However, after March this year, the approved data has not been restored to at least the level before the suspension. I don’t know why. Could it be that the EB-5 team of the Immigration Bureau has laid off employees due to the suspension in the past year? The Immigration Bureau is a black box and it’s really hard to figure out.
Table II, I-526 approval, rejection, replacement and withdrawal data from July 2021 to date:
As can be seen from this picture, in the past period, the rejection rate of I-526 has been very high, even many The number of rejections in the month exceeded the number of approvals. Moreover, the number of cases withdrew applications is also quite high. From the peak of EB-5 suspension and withdrawal in July last year, it stabilized, and then there was a new wave of withdrawals when EB-5 was restarted in March this year.
Table III, I-526 approval data from July 2021 to date (applications from different years):
It can be seen that most of the data are applications between 2018 and 2019. Of course, considering that China and other countries will divide I-526 applications into two teams from 2020, this data is of little significance for our own reference.
Table IV, I-526 supplement data from July 2021 to the present (applications from different years):
The supplement is basically an application in 2019. Compare the approval status in the above table to a reasonable range.
Generally speaking, the Immigration Bureau is very slow now. The reason is unclear. It may be due to insufficient budget and manpower problems caused by the epidemic: Immigration Bureau Supervision Report: Case processing delays and insufficient manpower | Fiscal Year 2022. If the I-526 trial is slow, just slow it down. On the contrary, it can delay the time as much as possible without exceeding the age limit, so there will be no more seriousness.
Is the ticket price expected to decrease?
The changes in the European immigration project are getting more and more intense, so hurry up and catch the last train.
New entry regulations have been introduced. The opportunity for permanent residence in Singapore has arrived.
Employer immigration is by no means the only way to go to the United States.
