📖 A Story from China: The Price of Waiting
Two years ago, a tech entrepreneur from Shenzhen—let’s call him Mr. Li—was ready to go EB-5. Capital?
✅ Vision?
✅ Dream of a U.S. expansion?
✅But he waited.
Fast forward to today: China’s unreserved EB-5 category has been bouncing between forward movement and retrogression. If he’d filed in 2023, he’d already be in the U.S. building his business. Instead, he’s looking at years more of waiting.
Moral: In EB-5, waiting costs more than acting.
