The March 2021 Visa Bulletin Priority Date – Three weeks forward for Vietnamese EB-5 immigrant investors; China frozen; Taiwan and rest of the world current

The “Final Action Date” priority date for Vietnamese EB-5 investors moved forward three weeks in the Department of State March 2021 visa bulletin, from October 1, 2017 to October 22, 2017.  The priority date indicates that any Vietnamese investors who filed their I-526 Petitions on or before October 22, 2017 now have visas available. If you are such an investor, you should be sure to contact the National Visa Center to begin your visa application process (if you have not already done so because of current Dates for Filing). See here.

The Final Action Date for Chinese investors has been stuck on August 15, 2015 since October.  This is because no visas have been issued by the U.S. Consulate since early 2020 and only a handful of Chinese applicants were eligible to adjust their status in the United States.

The Final Action Date for the rest of the world are current.

The Dates for Filing (Table B) remains current as has been the norm for Vietnam investors who will be classified under “All Chargeability Areas except those listed”.
