Summary

Informational only, not legal advice. Confirm deadlines on the official notice or with a qualified professional.

The annual visa cap for the EB-5 immigrant investor green card category has been reached, meaning no additional EB-5 petitions can be approved under the unreserved visa allotment for the current fiscal year. Applicants who have not yet received approval should monitor future visa availability and consider the quota implications for their cases. Future fiscal years will see a reset of available EB-5 visas.
