CanAm flags EB-5 visa allocation barriers for adjustment applicants

• EB-5 visa allocation restrictions leave adjustment-of-status investors unable to switch to unreserved visas, limiting access available to consular applicants.
• India-born applicants could use more than 500 unreserved visas in fiscal 2027, potentially freeing reserved visas for investors without alternatives.
• Roughly 2,000 rest-of-world high-unemployment investors pursuing adjustment of status lack a clear route to elect unreserved visas as retrogression approaches.
• China-born set-aside investors face potentially multidecade waits, increasing the importance of allocating reserved visas to applicants without unreserved access.
• Only 423 of more than 8,000 available reserved visas were used in one year, underscoring the need for coordinated allocation.
