Department of State predicts EB-5 visa retrogression for China

Based upon the demand for EB-5 visa numbers and the volume of approved I-526
Petitions, the Department of State has issued a preliminary warning that a
cut-off date may need to be established for China. No other countries in the
EB-5 category will be impacted. If a cut-off date is established, it will
not take effect until sometime after July 2014. This will only affect those
born in mainland China and does not apply to those born in Hong Kong, Macau
or Taiwan.
Despite this preliminary warning, EB-5 investors should think hard before
delaying the filing of an I-526 Petition or taking any other actions
directly related to the possibility of EB-5 retrogression in China. In
December 2012 the Department of State also predicted the establishment of a
cut-off for China, but then reversed itself in February 2013. New EB-5 visas
will become available on the first day of the next fiscal year, October 1,
2014, and the extremely slow processing of I-526 Petitions could spread the
demand for EB-5 visas into the next fiscal year. It is important to note,
the slow I-526 Petition processing times has also impaired the ability of
the Department of State to predict whether EB-5 visa retrogression will
occur.
On the flip side, if U.S. Citizenship & Immigration Services (USCIS) speeds
up I-526 processing the possibility of EB-5 visa retrogression will increase
. As we have noted before, whether or not EB-5 visa retrogression takes
place will have no effect on the processing of I-526 Petitions by USCIS. If
the EB-5 visa does retrogress, it will likely delay individuals with
approved I-526 Petitions from entering the U.S. and obtaining conditional
permanent residency. This also may affect the way jobs are allocated to
those EB-5 investors in the regional center context. Furthermore, once an I-
526 Petition is approved, a child who is a derivative beneficiary of that I-
526 Petition does not receive protection under the Child Status Protection
Act. This could result in some children of EB-5 investors “aging out” if
an I-526 Petition is approved but there are no EB-5 visas available.
In the regional center context, EB-5 visa retrogression may affect EB-5
investors from other countries. Some regional center projects involve loans
which cannot be paid off until each EB-5 investor in that project has had
their respective I-829 Petition adjudicated. Similarly, many new commercial
enterprises in the regional center context have clauses in their operating
agreements which prevent distributions from occurring until every EB-5
investor in that new commercial enterprise has had their respective I-829
Petition adjudicated.
This is not an exhaustive list of consequences and each EB-5 investor’s
situation is unique. Contact Greenberg Traurig’s EB-5 team for further
information.

看中一个这里学区最好的房子。 greatschool上10-10-10(elem,junior,high)
离一条高速4个block。 2005年新建的。 离火车站1miles, 离wholefood half block
。 装修很不错。 2005-11卖了 1.085M。 现在卖主strategicly short sale。 还
没有miss payment。 现在出租一年。 旁边的房子, 50%比这还贵。
上市50天, 15天前从1M降到800K short sale。 银行还没批。 我们出价650K, 据
agent讲,他们受到另一个offer,远远比这高, 结果人家seller就拽了, 不理我们了
, 后来我们加到720K。 结果人家开始和我们讲价了。 还告诉我们他们期待的价格是
760K, 另一个offer是743K。 我们觉得不太对。 觉得人家肯定有contigency或者退出
了。 否则shortsale差 17K,谁管呀,还得银行批。 buyer agent全我们加到 744K。
我们觉得没必要, 甚至觉得720K可能都多了。
现在在反复考虑。
1. 这里房价指数从2005/11 的162 降到现在108. 1085×108/162= 720K. 他们的
principal loan 大概还剩 760Kbalance。 second loan 大概还有 162K。 所以760K
太贵了。
2. yard 小, 60×162, back yard 超小。 大概 12×60.
3. 离 major toll way 有点近4个街,但是听不到声音。
4. 银行可能要拖很久。
5. seller 特别磨叽, 据说想break a deal with bank.所以往上拼命要价。
想问问大家的意见。 另外, seller说short sales可以不影响信用, 是真的吗? 这
就是他们连17K都要吵的原因。

自己其实也参加过另外2个会议,但是都是国内的会,不知道能不能加上,害怕加上了
反而变成软肋。我所说的这2个国际化其实是国内学校组织的international
conference
而自己来到美国之后,反而都没有开过会。
