USCIS has released a new memo that significantly changes how EB-5 investors can adjust their status from nonimmigrant visas within the United States. This update, which affects investors on F-1, E-2, TN, and similar visas, introduces greater scrutiny during the I-485 adjustment of status process.
Key Details:
- The memo applies to EB-5 investors currently holding nonimmigrant visas such as F-1, E-2, and TN.
- Increased scrutiny may lead to more rigorous evaluations during the I-485 application process.
- Investors should prepare for potential additional documentation and interviews.
- The memo is effective immediately, impacting all current and future EB-5 applicants.
This change may complicate the adjustment process for many EB-5 investors, potentially delaying their path to permanent residency. Need help with your immigration case? Visit QuickFiling.us for professional immigration services.
