美国国务院每个月都会发布官方 签证公告，这是有关美国签证可用性信息的来源。它显示了哪些获批准的移民申请人可以根据原始申请的提交日期继续获得移民签证：如果您的EB-5申请获得美国公民及移民服务局的批准，请查看签证公告表，看看目前是否有签证可供您使用。
每年有14万张基于就业的绿卡可用，每个 “偏好” 类别都有特定的限额。美国移民法还根据原籍国对可用的绿卡数量设定了限制。在所有以家庭为基础和基于就业的类别中签发的绿卡中，任何单一原籍国所占的比例都不能超过7％。
尽管对于大多数国家来说通常不是问题，但这种原籍国上限可能会给来自中国和印度的EB-5投资者造成积压。（通常，来自墨西哥或菲律宾的EB-5申请人不足以为这些国家造成积压，而这些国家是唯一受原籍国上限限制的其他国家。）
潜在的 EB-5 参与者应参阅签证公告，了解他们在 I-526 之后是否可以立即获得签证，或 I-526E 申请获得批准。最新签证公告中的EB-5图表显示以下内容：
该签证公告显示，目前只有在 “旧” EB-5计划下获得批准的投资者有待处理的项目，该计划是在EB-5计划之前实施的 2022年EB-5改革与诚信法案 （“RIA”），于2022年3月15日生效。
但是，对于中印两国在实施RIA之前的投资者来说，也有好消息，因为中国申请人的申请日期已从2015年12月15日推迟到2016年7月15日，印度申请人的申请日期已从2020年12月1日推迟到2022年1月1日。在规定的截止日期（中国为2016年7月15日；印度为2022年1月1日）之后根据旧计划申请的中国和印度投资者无法立即寻求签证并移居美国。他们必须等待列出的日期才能提前到申请的申请日期，通常称为 “优先日期”。
请注意，只有EB-5中的 “非保留” 优先类别显示截止日期。EB-5的新保留优先类别均显示为 “C” 或 “当前”，这意味着任何获得批准的与RIA创建的新保留签证相关的EB-5申请的人都可以开始移民到美国的程序，即使是来自中国和印度的移民也是如此。
传统的EB-5观点是，国家上限是在每个优先类别中计算的，而不是在所有优先类别中计算的。这意味着在任何保留的签证类别中，没有一个国家可以拥有超过EB-5签证的7％。
这是错误的。
在一个 2023 年 3 月 28 日美国联邦公报公告，美国政府承认他们计算的国家上限不正确，并概述了今后将如何计算国家上限。
自2023年4月起，国家上限是根据所有优先类别的签证总数计算的，包括家庭签证和基于就业的签证。来自特定县的移民在该国所有优惠类别的申请达到7％之前，不受国家上限的限制。
一旦特定国家的家庭签证和就业签证申请均达到7％，国务院将根据所有类别的优先日期，在每个优先类别中对该特定国家的申请进行积压。
本签证公告显示，中国、印度、墨西哥和菲律宾的家庭和就业类签证均已达到7％的上限。由于墨西哥和菲律宾不是EB-5优先权的大用户，因此中国和印度是目前唯一受EB-5无保留签证国家上限限制的国家。除非另一个国家达到所有优惠类别的7％配额，否则我们不应指望这些国家的EB-5申请会出现积压。
截止日期与现实世界的日历不一致。中国和印度上次更改日期是：
签证公告日期由国务院根据美国公民及移民服务局提供的有关批准申请的信息计算。这些图表没有显示以前可能已经提交但尚未获得批准的请愿书的影响。
《签证公告》是故事的结局。要知道潜在移民可能需要等待多长时间，重要的是要了解他们之前可能有多少请愿书正在处理中。
可以把《签证公告》想象成高速公路上的收费广场。它列出了收费站的线路长度，并将存在积压的特定国家/地区的线路分开。但是，签证公告并未显示有多少汽车在前往收费广场的途中在高速公路上。这些是待处理的请愿书。这些信息通常不公开，但是EB-5行业团体一直在努力获取这些信息。我们将单独提供对这些信息的分析。
并行申报是一种机制，已经在美国的EB-5投资者可以在第一份 I-526E 表格申请的同时提交某些表格，而不必等到该申请获得批准。通过同时申报，投资者可以同时填写和提交其 I-485 表格（申请永久居留权或调整身份）和 I-526E 表格的申请。
通常，这将允许这些投资者在没有任何其他签证的情况下进出美国，并且无需任何单独的就业担保或签证即可在美国合法工作。这些投资者可能会在 I-526E 申请待审期间获得这些好处， 不管他们之前可能已经提交了多少请愿书。
用我们的比喻来说，这意味着无论前方有多少辆汽车在高速公路上。只要收费站还没有排队，您就可以申请这些福利。本质上，如果你在这里，你可以待在这里。

ATLANTA – Peachtree Group (Peachtree) has received its I-956F approval from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), the government agency that oversees the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, for The Scoundrel, a Tribute Portfolio by Marriott hotel currently under construction in Gatlinburg, Tenn.
The I-956F approval marks a crucial step in Peachtree’s ongoing efforts to facilitate investment opportunities through the EB-5 program, which is designed to promote economic growth and job creation in the United States.
“Receiving USCIS approval for The Scoundrel represents another key milestone for our EB-5 platform,” said Adam Greene, executive vice president of EB-5 at Peachtree. “It reflects our commitment to structuring investments that create meaningful economic impact, support job growth and deliver lasting value for our investors and the communities we serve.”
Peachtree engaged an independent third-party to conduct a jobs study, which determined the development is expected to create 842 eligible jobs for EB-5 purposes, 1.68 times the 500 jobs required under the estimated investment amount, under scoring the project’s significant economic contribution to the region.
“Peachtree’s participation in the EB-5 program underscores our entrepreneurial grit and commitment to advancing initiatives that create a flywheel effect across our lending platform,” said Greg Friedman, managing principal and CEO of Peachtree. “We’ve helped institutionalize these investments within a program that drives economic growth and expands opportunities for meaningful, job-creating immigration.”
Peachtree originated $40 million in floating-rate construction financing over a four-year term for the development of The Scoundrel. The 133-room hotel will be ideally situated on one of Gatlinburg’s main commercial corridors, adjacent to the Gatlinburg Convention Center and steps from premier dining, shopping and entertainment. Located on the northwestern edge of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the most visited national park in the United States, the property offers convenient access to a region that attracts millions of visitors each year.
The hotel is expected to be completed by mid-2027.
This is the fourth hotel development for which Peachtree has received I-956F approval,having previously secured it for its SpringHill Suites by Marriott in Bryce Canyon, Utah; Home2 Suites by Hilton in Boone, N.C.; and TownePlace Suites by Marriott in Palmdale, Calif. Peachtree also received I-956F approval for its loan for the construction of a multi-family apartment project in Bradenton, Fla.
“With its proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Gatlinburg is one of the most supply-constrained markets in the country,” said Greene. “High barriers to entry, including strict height and density limits and scarce developable land, make new construction rare. That dynamic, combined with sustained demand from millions of annual visitors, positions well-located, newly built hotels to significantly outperform the broader market.”
Peachtree launched its EB-5 program in 2023 as a key financing tool to support job-creating projects nationwide. The firm remains committed to delivering high-quality investment and development opportunities through its expanding portfolio of EB-5 projects.
The EB-5 visa program allows foreign investors to obtain a green card in exchange for making a significant investment in a new commercial enterprise that creates jobs in the United States. Under the program, foreign nationals who invest a minimum of $800,000 in a U.S.-based project that creates or preserves at least 10 full-time jobs for U.S. workers are eligible to apply for permanent residency.
At a recent panel discussion at the IIUSA East Asia Conference titled “The Impact of President Trump’s Immigration Policies on the EB-5 Regional Center Program,” Adam Greene, Executive Vice President of EB-5 at Peachtree Group, offered a clear and reassuring perspective for investors and industry professionals navigating the evolving U.S. immigration environment.
Greene, who also serves as Secretary and Treasurer of IIUSA, began by emphasizing Peachtree’s track record as a leading private equity real estate firm with a history of over $12 billion in transactions and 800 investments across the U.S. He noted that Peachtree entered the EB-5 market to bring institutional discipline, transparency, and security to investors—focusing exclusively on senior secured debt positions that prioritize capital protection while driving U.S. job creation.
Discussing the Trump Administration’s new “Gold Card” program, Greene reminded the audience that it remains an idea, not an implemented program. “The Gold Card doesn’t exist today,” he said, explaining that even if enacted, it would need to operate within the framework of existing U.S. immigration laws. Importantly for EB-5, those laws require investment in a for-profit enterprise that creates American jobs—making it unlikely the Gold Card could directly substitute or compete with EB-5. “EB-5 exists today and is backed by established law,” Greene added. “The Gold Card does not.”
Greene positioned EB-5 as the form of legal immigration that fits squarely within the Trump Administration’s priorities. “EB-5 is exactly the kind of immigration that makes sense in the ‘America First’ world—it’s legal, it’s job-creating, and it’s self-funding,” he explained. With the perception that illegal immigration is increasingly under control, he said the political focus is turning toward immigration that strengthens the U.S. economy.
He also highlighted IIUSA’s ongoing advocacy in Washington, D.C., which has helped lawmakers better understand EB-5’s impact on American job creation and development. “When we meet with congressional offices now, they no longer ask, ‘What is EB-5?’” Greene said. “They know it’s a program that works and creates results.”
In closing, Greene urged agents and investors alike to focus on working with credible partners who combine experience with integrity. “Track record matters,” he said. “What ultimately protects investors are good people and sound structures.”
As immigration policy evolves, Greene’s message was consistent and confident: EB-5 remains a proven, law-backed path to U.S. residency that continues to deliver value for investors and communities alike.
新的特朗普金卡计划于9月19日星期五由白宫行政命令（“EO”）实施，并在王牌网站上进一步进行了宣传（www.trumpcard.gov）经过几个月的准备。
黄金计划提供了一条不同于EB-5签证的美国居留途径。个人不必要求对创造就业机会的项目进行投资，申请人可以在几年内获得回报，而是通过投资来获得资格 100万美元捐款 （或 如果由公司赞助，则为200万美元），他们再也找不到了。
与与创造新的就业机会和区域中心投资相关的EB-5不同，金卡与现有挂钩 EB-1 或 EB-2 类别，它们也有像EB-5这样的配额限制，并且存在积压情况。金卡 不提供优惠的税收待遇，申请人必须支付 额外手续费并接受额外审查。它也是 不清楚是否有衍生家族成员 包含在单笔100万美元捐款中，或者是否必须分别缴款。
底线：考虑根据EB-5移民投资者签证移民美国的人应该立即申请。
特朗普的行政命令要求政府在金卡发布后的90天内实施金卡，即在2025年12月18日之前。尽管首席执行官含糊地提及政府将 “考虑将金卡计划扩大到EB-5下的签证申请人”，但目前尚不清楚如何通过行政命令而不是国会通过立法来实现这一点。现行法律规定，任何在2026年9月30日之前提交申请的EB-5申请人都将根据现行规则进行裁决。
对于那些考虑EB-5的人来说，最保守的方法是在2025年12月18日实施金卡的最后期限之前申请。
Trump Card网站还将白金卡称为 “即将推出”，这将需要500万美元的捐款，并允许收款人对非美国收入免征美国所得税，并允许领取者在美国停留长达270天。请注意，白金卡尚未实施。
