We are pleased to announce that multiple investors in the Wohali Utah rural EB-5 project have received Form I-526E approval from USCIS. This is a major milestone for these investors and for the Wohali Utah project.
In this article, we’ll first discuss what Form I-526E approval means for these investors. Then we’ll examine how this approval is another major step for the Wohali Utah project.
What Form I-526E Approval Means for Investors in Wohali Utah
With their Form I-526E immigrant petitions approved, these investors and their families are now able to immediately apply for their visas, either through Form DS-260 if living outside the United States or through Form I-485 for those already in the country. Investors who must go through consular processing must complete a simple visa interview. Then, once approved, these investors will receive their EB-5 immigrant visa, which is a two-year conditional Green Card.
With their Green Cards in hand, these investors and their families will be able to immigrate to the United States, where they can live and work where they want. They will enjoy all of the benefits of permanent resident status, including better educational opportunities and tuition rates, access to better healthcare, and so much more.
For these investors, I-526E approval means being one step further toward the end of the EB-5 process and obtaining a permanent Green Card.
Kieu Anh Do, an immigration attorney with clients who invested in Wohali Utah and received I-526E approval, had this to say: “My clients are thrilled to have received their I-526E approval notices so quickly. They had their petitions approved quickly and without any requests for evidence from USCIS. This has been a smooth process. I think this is a good example of how the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act is benefitting investors, particularly those who invest in rural projects. I am just so glad for my clients, who will have Green Cards approved and in hand about a year after filing. This is a tremendous outcome.” Ms. Do is one of a small number of lawyers licensed to practice law in both the United States and Vietnam. She has helped many Vietnamese nationals immigrate to the United States over the course of more than 20 years.
What Form I-526E Approval Means for the Wohali Utah Project
These Form I-526E investor approvals come just weeks after Wohali Utah received its Form I-956F project approval. Together, these approvals confirm that Wohali Utah meets the requirements of the EB-5 program. As a result, EB-5 investors can have confidence in this project.
In the weeks to come, we expect more of Wohali Utah’s EB-5 investors to receive I-526E approval.
