移民局的审案进度,这几年,特别是疫情以来是越来越慢,譬如最近一个月的数据:EB-5审案进度更新|2022年9月

而且,这都反映到了移民局监察办公室给国会的报告:移民局监察报告:审案拖延与人力不足|2022财年中了。
讨论移民局的审案进度,并且分析今后可能的走势,是一个颇有价值的事情。因为,这将决定最新办理EB-5的投资人,多久可以拿到临时绿卡(虽然现在没有排期),何时将会“公开”遇到排期(在签证公告牌上反映出排期),以及预留签证消耗的情况,而且还包括老的外国投资人签证消耗情况,进而决定了老的中国投资人每年能够获得签证的数量。
移民局是一个黑箱,我们很难了解到他内部的情况,除了部分公开的内容。

具体内容我就不完全翻译了,除了审案数量,关键看一下移民局的审案官人数。在过去两年,移民局EB-5办公室,少了68人,从245人跌到了177人。
而据移民局监察办公室的报告,培训一名审案官上岗平均需要241天。
可以预计的是,即便新法案有要求乡村项目优先审批,但是考虑到移民局当前I-526尚有1.3万多件积压,想清理之后再进行新法案的I-526审批,至少清理到非中国的老I-526申请还需要大量时间,短期内,也就是1-2年内很难看到新的I-526获批,至少是大面积获批。
也就是说,老投资人有机会能够较长时间享用剩余预留签证,新投资人较长时间看不到排期出现。
