Demand for EB-5 Set-aside Categories
November 13, 2023 2 Comments
Thanks to persistence by AIIA and litigation by Galati Law, we finally have a first installment of data to discuss relative to demand for the new EB-5 set-aside categories. USCIS responded to AIIA’s Freedom of Information Act request, and reported I-526 and I-526E receipts by month from April 2022 to April 2023, itemized by category (including rural and high unemployment) and by petitioner country (including China and India). See AIIA FOIA Series: I-526E Inventory Data for Backlog Assessment for a summary of this extremely consequential information. The article includes an invitation to a webinar on November 15, 2023 at 6:00 PM ET, where I’ll join AIIA, Galati Law, Joseph Barnett, and Charles Oppenheim to discuss the data and implications for reserve visa availability.
