While the Department of Homeland Security took a little longer than usual to release the September 2026 Visa Bulletin, there was no impact for EB-5 investors. All three set-aside categories remain current for all countries and there was no change for China or India in the unreserved category.

With a little more than a month remaining before the September 30th grandfathering date, concurrent filing remains a possibility for investors that are already in the U.S. on a valid visa. Stay tuned for future updates.

The Department of Homeland Security recently announced a proposed rule that would eliminate the 60-day grace period afforded to noncitizen workers who have their employment sponsorship terminated. The current grace period given to workers, often on an H-1B or L-1 visa, provides time to find a new sponsor as well as an adequate period to prepare to leave the U.S.

The announcement from DHS highlights the benefits of the EB-5 program, which has no employer sponsorship requirements. For many noncitizen workers, EB-5 may provide a better path forward.
