A major shift is coming to EB-5 processing—and it could significantly impact your immigration timeline.

Starting March 30, 2026, USCIS will begin prioritizing approved project applications (Form I-956F) before reviewing investor petitions (Form I-526E). This marks a critical change from the previous first-in, first-out approach.

📅 Join us live on Thursday, March 19, 2026
⏰ 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM EDT

In this timely webinar, Sam Silverman, Mike Schoenfeld, and Ahmed Khan will break down what this policy update means for EB-5 investors today—and how to adapt your strategy moving forward.

What we’ll cover:
✔ What the new USCIS policy says—and why it matters
✔ How I-956F approval now impacts I-526E processing
✔ Why rural projects may benefit from priority treatment
✔ What this means for urban and infrastructure projects
✔ How to position your EB-5 investment for faster adjudication

With USCIS now emphasizing project approval first, selecting the right EB-5 opportunity has never been more important.
