May 2026 Visa Bulletin: EB-5 set-aside categories remain CURRENT for all countries including China. This is the single most important fact most Chinese investors don't know.
The U.S. Department of State published the May 2026 Visa Bulletin confirming that all three reserved categories remain available with no backlog for Chinese applicants. Meanwhile, unreserved EB-5 for China shows a Final Action Date of September 22, 2016.
Why This Matters
Most Chinese HNW investors still associate EB-5 with a 7-year backlog. But RIA 2022 created 32% set-aside visas that have never had a backlog.
The September 30 Deadline
Investors who file I-526E before September 30, 2026 lock in current rules regardless of future legislative changes.
