"Yesterday, I presented the panel discussion at the IIUSA meeting in Washington, D.C. with Charlie Oppenheim, the Chief of the Visa Control and Reporting Division at the U.S. Department of State. He announced the establishment of China EB-5 Cut-off date of May 1, 2013. This China cut-off date will start on May 1, 2015.

As a result of the cut-off date announcement, only I-526 petitions filed before May 1, 2013 can now be scheduled for final interview in Guangzhou, or be allowed to file Form I-485 to adjust status in the U.S.

The State Department has now published official answers regarding the requirements to seek to acquire permanent residence." - Bernard Wolfsdorf, Apr. 14, 2015.
