Update from AILA EB-5 Conference and Projection for China EB-5 Cutoff Date
With over 400 people in attendance at the AILA EB-5 Summit in Las Vegas, August 27-28, 2015, Charles Oppenheim, Chief, Immigrant Visa Control & Reporting, U.S. Department of State, Washington, D.C. stated that, "Provided Congress re-authorizes the Regional Center EB-5 Program before September 30, 2015, the October 2015 Visa Bulletin Cutoff Date for Chinese EB-5 immigrants will be October 8, 2013".
This advances the cutoff date by over two weeks from September 22, 2013 (the cutoff date in the September 2015 Visa Bulletin) (AILA Doc No. 15081203).
Mr. Oppenheim also provided two handouts from the Bureau of Consular Affairs. The first updates interim CSPA guidance that was provided April 13, 2015 (AILA Doc No. 15083130), and the second has helpful tips for attorneys dealing with NVC (AILA Doc No. 15083131).
