美国移民局有关2016年10月排期的说明
By Nataliya Rymer on
美国移民局于2016年9月22日决定，在2016年10月，除了少数职业移民的类别外，家庭移民和职业移民的调整身份申请人可以根据申请递件排期表（Dates of Filing Visa Application chart）,也称为签证排期表中的表B来递交调整身份的申请。美国移民局指出EB-4宗教人士类别的调整身份申请人和EB-5区域中心项目类别的调整身份申请人，将只能使用移民签证名额的实际排期表(Final Action Dates chart), 也被称为表A。美国移民局解释说，由于EB-5区域中心项目和EB-4宗教人士移民项目预计于9月30日到期，因此这两个类别将在被国会延期之前，没有签证名额可用。公告还指出，这两个项目在延期后，移民局会适当的更新签证排期表以及更新网页来提供有关身份调整资格的信息。
在2016年9月28日，国会批准了短期联邦支出法案，其中包括将EB-4和EB-5区域中心项目在没有政策改变的情况下延期到2016年12月9日。 虽然美国移民局有更新该项目的网页，以反映在这些类别目前有签证名额可用。然而EB-5类别的调整身份申请人仍然不能使用表B来进行调整身份的申请。此外，移民局指出所有EB-5类别的申请人（包括区域中心和非区域中心项目）必须使用移民签证名额的实际排期表(Final Action Dates chart), 也被称为表A。对于出生在中国大陆已获得I-526批准的调整身份申请人，在2016年10月，只有那些优先日在2014年2月21日或之前的申请人才可以申请调整身份。

通知：国家签证中心通知数百名EB-5移民签证的中国申请人他们的移民申请将被暂停处理直到今年10月1日
By Nataliya Rymer on
美国国务部已经使用完到2016年财年底，即2016年9月30日之前，所有给出生在中国内地的EB-5投资人的签证名额。因此，国家签证中心现已暂停受理出生于中国内地的已获批I-526申请的受益人的移民签证申请。预计会在2016年10月1日恢复受理。在此期间，申请人将不能支付移民签证费用和完成或访问移民签证DS-260申请。
美国移民和国籍法案的第203条限制了可用于每个类别移民签证的名额，其中大约10,000个名额拨给EB-5投资移民类别。这个总数是进一步受制于每个国家的限制，其中给出生于中国内地的EB-5投资者的签证名额已经受到积压。到2016年9月13日为止，国家签证中心已经告知在当前法律的限制下，在本财年，分配给在中国内地出生的EB-5投资人的名额已经告罄。本财年将会在2016年9月30日结束。
美国国务院宣布如果他们确定其他国家将不会使用2016财年余下的签证名额，他们仍可能会提供这些额外的签证名额给中国内地出生的申请人。在此期间，国家签证中心已经向那些受暂停影响的申请人通过邮递和电子邮件发送通知和解释这个情况。国务院已要求受到暂停影响的申请人只在需要改变联系方式或签证资格的情况下才联系国家签证中心。
