    针对中国EB-5绿卡申请人排期的常见问题及解答

    By Kate Kalmykov

    众所周知,自2015年5月1日起,中国的EB-5移民签证申请将面临排期。在下文中我们将对排期宣布以来我们收到的问题进行回答。 1. 如果我的I-526 已经批准了,可是我的子女年龄可能会超龄该如何处理?出于移民的目的,我怎样做可以保持孩子的年龄不变? 国务院已经公布了指导意见,根据《儿童状态保护法案》,下列方式可以“冷冻”住孩子的年龄: 递交DS-260申请; 支付签证费;或 向国家签证中心递交DS-230 申请。 请注意上述“冷冻”子女年龄的做法只是在《儿童状态保护法案》的范畴内有效。因此,最省时有效的办法就是收到I-526通知后立即用银行本票来支付签证费。所有在2015年5月1日前收到I-526批准通知的人都会收到签证费通知单,因此他们都有机会“冷冻”住子女的年龄。 2. 如果我的I-526申请在2015年4月30日或之前获得批准,但是我还没有收到签证费通知单,该如何处理? 美国国务院签证控制和披露处负责人Charles Oppenheim在“赴美投资”会议上指出2015年4月所有获得批准的I-526申请的签证通知单都会被寄出。因此,如果您的子女可能会超龄,请立即联系我们。出于申请移民的目的,我们会采取一些措施尽量保持孩子年龄不变。 3. 如果我的I-526申请在2015年4月30日以后获得批准该如何处理? 您将会面临排期。您的I-526 批准后,你必须每个月定期查看国务院签证公告,依此判断您的优先日是否生效。您可以点击此处here了解优先日详情。  4. 如果我收到了签证通知单但是我的受益申请人没有收到如何处理? 我们会通过寄挂号信的方式将银行本票寄给国家签证中心,使用您签证通知单上的案件号码为您和您的受益申请人支付签证费。 5. 提交了DS-260申请并且支付了签证费,下一步我该怎样做? 这种情况下您的申请会被计算到年度的签证配额中。您会被安排到广州领事馆进行签证面试。如果您未收到移民签证面试通知,我们会持续联络国家签证中心确保为您安排面试。我们期待着国务院会就您的身份和我们进行联络。  6. 我持有合法的身份居住在美国,但是I-526批准后还没有提交身份调整申请,我可以在2015年5月1日后递交身份调整申请么?  不可以。你需要每个月查看国务院签证公告,据此判断你的优先日是否生效。您可以点击此处here了解优先日详情。  7. 我持有合法的身份居住在美国并且I-526已经获批,我在2015年5月1日之前提交了身份调整申请,我现在的状态是什么?我还可以继续在美国居住,工作及旅行么?我可以更新我的回美证和工作许可么?  可以。只要你的身份调整申请提交了,你可以继续留在美国并且更新回美证和工作许可。移民局会扣住案件,直到你的优先日生效才会审理你的身份调整申请。您可以点击此处here了解优先日详情。…
