　　美国华盛顿当地时间，2015年4月13日下午2:31分，Charles Oppenheim - 美国国务院签证办公室主任，在IIUSA第八届EB-5区域经济发展倡议会的平博APP会议上，宣布，历史上首次EB-5美国投资移民排期的来临。关于排期宣布的信息，请微信回复“240”查询，应对指南请回复“241”。

　　IIUSA会议期间，正是华盛顿的樱花节，场外樱花烂漫，场内焦灼不安。

　　前几天，EB5Sir报告排期消息时，用的是”靴子落地“这样的标题，后来有朋友提醒，还有第二只靴子，没错，涨价就是第二只靴子。

　　今天来看下在IIUSA会议现场的Mona Shah律师传来的快讯，说是快讯，前几天都在讨论排期的技术问题，这篇文章压着没及早发。本文由业内朋友Tingting义务翻译，特此感谢。

　　IIUSA（华盛顿特区）抛出更多爆炸性新闻

　　笔者在华盛顿特区的IIUSA EB-5 区域经济发展倡议会上，心情依然是复杂的。

　　昨晚，我平博体育们报道Charles Oppenheim，美国国务院签证办公室主任宣布，EB-5 中国移民签证排期倒退到2015年5月，而不是2015年6月，这和最初的预测一致。尽管已经有了心理预期——但是当新闻出来的时候，代理和EB-5 从业者在内心深处还是有惊奇，就像我们以前预测11小时的奥巴马行政令“缓刑”一样。即使在今天，虽然不同的嘉宾抛出了众多暗示，我们仍然满怀希望。顺便说一句，Oppenheim 先生昨天还提到主申请者（投资者）占用了签证配额约45%，其家人（配偶和子女）占用了签证配额约55%，因此如果家人能够和主申请者分开的话，就不会有签证排期倒退问题。

　　今天的爆炸性新闻!平博下载

　　国会女议员Zoe Lofgren，她同时也是民主党高层人士和移民改革的长期拥护者，她表达观点说最低投资金额将会提高。

　　Lincoln Stone与其他EB-5律师给出了另一个重磅炸弹，他们提出了一系列引人思考的因素，这些因素都是USCIS（移民局）在终止区域中心之前需要面对的。许多区域中心已经变得自鸣得意，认为一旦被授予指定区域中心，那么他将是永久 性的神圣不可侵犯的！USCIS已经开始积极终止那些文档管理不善的区域中心，以不一致的I-924A申请文件作为证据。Lincoln Stone还指出，USCIS认为终止有延误项目的区域中心是合理的。但这似乎是不现实的，许多建筑项目都会遇到合理的延期。

　　其他USCIS方面的更新（来自于USCIS监察办公室的Maria Odom 和Fredrick Troncone）：

　　* 329个I-924区域中心申请正在等待USCIS审批。

　　* I-526投资者申请文件显示，2014年投资者申请比2013年增加了50%（2012年数字接近于2013年）。

　　* 在2015财政年，移民局已经收到超过5,200份I-526申请数，截止到3月底前。

　　（EB5Sir注：也就是2014年10月1日到2015年3月31日，半年时间超过5,200份申请，按照这个趋势一年还是有1万多的申请数。）

　　* 截至3月底，USCIS有585份 I-526申请等待补件，609份 I-526申请已经收到补件等待批准，超过400份 I-526申请已经发出拒签信等待申请者申诉。

　　* USCIS目前平均每月收到约800份I-526份申请，处理630份I-526份申请。这意味着积压的等待处理的I-526申请，已经处在让人晕眩的高度——13,027份申请——这个数字还在增加，因为收到的总是超过能处理的。

　　* USCIS计划来解决积压，就像报告给监察办公室的，包括添加员工和批准加班。移民局监察办公室发言人说，IPO目前拥有54位评判员、18位经济学家和20个项目分析师，并且计划在年底增加25名员工。

　　SEC（证券交易委员会）和FINRA（美国金融业监管局）：

　　这两天讨论主题是broker dealer（券商/经纪人）资格。不在美国境内经营的中国机构为一个美国项目筹集资金，这些中国机构又接受相同项目的股权作为佣金的一部分，有趣的是，这些中国机构不需要加入美国broker dealer来取得销售资格。决定性因素是该中国机构是否在美国境内经营。

　　立法方面:

　　我们都知道，共和党控制了众议院和参议院。目前，众议院有247个共和党人士和188个民主党人士。参议院有54名共和党人士和46名民主党人士。共和党自2006年以来就占多数。Hans Rickhoff指出，在这个时候，保守人士更关心安全性和边境管制。

　　此外，国会议员希望改进EB-5计划，如：

　　提高投资资本（再次重申！）；

　　监督TEA授权；

　　监管机构更大的参与;

　　解决申请处理时间的问题。

　　专家组建议该法案将获得长期的延期，但不是永久。

　　总的来说，这是一个严肃的会议。如果EB-5要在现下的政治和媒体攻击下生存和绽放，有大量的基础工作需要处理。

　　IIUSA (Washington DC) Drops more bombshells!

　　Still at the IIUSA EB-5 Advocacy and Leadership Conference in Washington D.C., where the mood continues to be mixed.

　　Last night, we reported that Charles Oppenheim, Chief of the Visa Control of the U.S. Department of State, announced that the EB-5 China immigrant visa category will retrogress in May 2015 rather than June 2015, as originally predicted. Although expected – when the news was reported, there was some genuine surprise from both agents and EB-5 practitioners, like us who have been predicting an 11th hour “reprieve” from the Obama Administration. We are still hopeful as many hints have been dropped, even today, by the various guest speakers. Incidentally, Mr. Oppenheim yesterday, also mentioned that visa usage is about 45% principals (investors) and 55% derivatives (spouse/children), thus if the derivatives are indeed separated, there will not be a retrogression issue.

　　Today’s Bombshells!

　　·Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren, a high ranking democrat and long time champion of immigration reform, expressed her opinion that the minimum investment amount would be raised.

　　·Lincoln Stone on a panel with other EB-5 lawyers gave an enlightening account of what factors USCIS is presently looking at before terminating a regional center – another bombshell. Many regional centers have become complacent, believing that once regional center designation is awarded, it is permanent even sacrosanct! USCIS have actively begun terminating regional centers who are simply poor document managers, using inconsistent I-924A filings as evidence. Stone also stated that USCIS found it rational to terminate regional centers where there were delays in a project. This seems unpractical as many projects, especially with construction, undergo reasonable delays.

　　Other Updates:

　　The USCIS updates came from Maria Odom and Fredrick Troncone from the CIS Ombudsman’s office.

　　§329 I-924 Regional Center applications are currently pending at USCIS.

　　§I-526 investor petition filings showed a 50% increase in 2014 over 2013 (which had about as many receipts as 2012).

　　§In FY2015, USCIS received over 5,200 I-526 petitions by the end of March.

　　§As of the end of March, USCIS had 585 I-526 petitions with a Request for Evidence pending, 609 petitions with decision pending after response to RFE, and over 400 I-526 petitions with an outstanding Notice of Intent to Deny.

　　§USCIS currently averages, per month, about 800 I-526s received and 630 I-526s processed. That means that the backlog of I-526s awaiting adjudication — already at a faint-worthy 13,027 petitions – is growing as receipts regularly exceed decisions.

　　§USCIS’s plan to address the backlog, as reported to the Ombudsman, involves adding staff and approving overtime. Ms. Odom said that IPO presently has 54 adjudicators, 18 economists and 20 program analysts, and plans to add 25 more staff by the end of the year.

　　SEC & FINRA:

　　The broker dealer theme dominated discussions on both days. Interestingly, the issue of whether a Chinese agency, raising capital for a project, and who does not have a US presence, but is receiving equity as part of their payment from the same project does not need to be affiliated with a US broker dealer. The deciding factor was whether or not the agency had a US presence.

　　On the Legislative Side:

　　As we all know, the Republican party has taken control of both the House and Senate. Currently, the House has 247 Republicans versus 188 Democrats. The Senate houses 54 Republicans and 46 Democrats, Republicans taking the majority since 2006. Hans Rickhoff noted that at this time, conservatives are more concerned about security and border control. Further, members of Congress are looking to make changes to the EB-5 program, such as: raising the capital (reiterated once again!); oversight of TEA determinations; greater involvement by regulators; and addressing processing time concerns. The panel suggested that the program will receive a long term extension, but not permanency.

　　Overall, it was a sober meeting. A lot of groundwork needs to be covered if EB-5 is to survive and blossom the latest political and media onslaughts.
