USCIS released the February 2026 EB-5 Visa Bulletin, highlighting significant changes in visa availability. For unreserved applicants from China, the wait time extends to August 2016, indicating a potential wait until the 2030s. In contrast, applicants for rural set-aside projects can begin their green card process immediately, as these visas are currently available for all countries.
Key Details:
- Unreserved China wait time: August 2016 (approximately 10 years)
- Rural set-aside visas: CURRENT availability for all countries
- Impact: Applicants from China face long delays, while rural project applicants can proceed now
- Green card process for rural projects starts immediately
This update significantly affects potential immigrants, particularly those from China who may face extended delays in their green card applications. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
