Yesterday (10th), Oceanus Strategic had the honor of being invited to the EB-5 Investment Summit hosted by Invest in the USA (IIUSA).
During the summit, representatives from Oceanus Strategic engaged in in-depth discussions with U.S. political and business leaders, project sponsors managing assets worth hundreds of billions, investors, and legal experts. The discussions focused on the latest developments in EB-5 immigration policies, challenges faced by regional center projects, as well as opportunities and risks in the context of global capital flows.
Background: IIUSA – The Authority in the EB-5 Industry
Founded in 2005, Invest in the USA (IIUSA) is the most influential non-profit EB-5 industry association in the U.S., comprising over 200 regional center members and 120 professional service providers. According to IIUSA data, its members have collectively attracted more than USD $32 billion in foreign direct investment into the U.S., creating hundreds of thousands of jobs, making it a driving force in the EB-5 industry.
2025 EB-5 Key Trends
At the summit, IIUSA provided an authoritative analysis of the 2025 EB-5 policy updates, with Oceanus Strategic summarizing the following key advantages:
Concurrent Filing Policy
Investors can now simultaneously submit Form I-526E (immigrant petition) and Form I-485 (adjustment of status), significantly reducing U.S. waiting times and achieving "immigration + stay in the U.S." in one step.
Priority Processing for Certain Categories (No Backlog)
Specific categories (e.g., rural projects, high-unemployment areas) now enjoy visa quota priority, with optimized processing times—I-526E approval in 6-9 months and conditional green card in 9-12 months.
Enhanced Fund Oversight
The U.S. SEC has strengthened compliance reviews for regional centers, requiring transparent fund flow reporting to reduce investment risks.
Investment Period Decoupled from Green Card Approval
The new policy ensures a high I-829 (removal of conditions) approval rate, requiring only a 2-year investment period—investors no longer need to maintain funds after receiving the conditional green card.
4 types of investment projects
At the IIUSA Summit, high-quality project matchmaking became a focal point for global capital. Oceanus Strategic has selected four types of benchmark projects benefiting from policy incentives and exit safeguards:
Hotel Development: Rural tourism projects with visa quota priority
Serviced Apartments: Core urban essential assets with stable cash flow
Senior Living Communities: High-demand sector driven by aging populations
Large-Scale Infrastructure: Government-partnered projects, low-risk priority options
Conclusion
This summit not only reinforced Oceanus Strategic’s professional reputation in the immigration field but also laid a strategic foundation for future collaborations with U.S. developers. Moving forward, we will continue monitoring policy updates to provide clients with first-hand insights and curated investment opportunities.
