Visa numbers sometimes run out late in a fiscal year; the count resets when the new fiscal year begins in October.

The EB-5 Regional Center China row last appeared in the April 2022 Visa Bulletin; later bulletins no longer list it. Everything below is that published record.

How the EB-5 Regional Center China cutoff date has moved

EB-5 Regional Center China final action dates, January 2005 to April 2022. The solid line is the published cutoff date. The dashed line is the bulletin's own month, so the vertical distance between them is the size of the backlog at that moment. Months shown as Current or Unavailable have no cutoff date and are skipped.

When this category went backwards

The cutoff date for EB-5 Regional Center China has retrogressed 12 times in the published record. A retrogression means the State Department pulled the date back, so people who were about to become eligible went back into the queue.

Where these numbers come from

Final action dates and dates for filing are taken from the monthly Visa Bulletin published by the U.S. Department of State. Each bulletin is parsed into a machine-readable record and checked against the published page before it is committed, so the series here is the bulletin's own wording, not a restatement of it. The movement and backlog columns are arithmetic on those dates and are described on the methodology page.

Every date on this page comes from the April 2022 Visa Bulletin published by the U.S. Department of State. Nothing here is estimated, interpolated or filled in, and the designations Current and Unavailable are reproduced exactly as printed.

This bulletin as published, archived copy of the page.

These figures were recovered from an archived capture of the bulletin rather than read from the live State Department page.

Backlog years, pace and projections are arithmetic on those dates and are described on the methodology page. Corrections: data@visabacklog.com.
