I am studying for a residency visa in the U.S. through the EB-5 program, but I am concerned that I am running out of time. From what I’ve been reading, the new categories that were created a few years ago have not reached their visa limits this year. But due to high demand, I am afraid by the time I end up starting my application process next year, there will be no more of these visas available, and will have to wait a long time. Are these special set aside EB-5 visas going to run out soon?

Immigration attorneysNo one knows – it depends on how many people apply before you do and each year in October the numbers will increase with the new annual allocation.
