首先，介绍下我了解的立法进展情况:
1. EB-5法案还未定稿，直到昨天各方还在继续拉锯，其中条款细节；
2. IIUSA已经提交了一份立法建议，并且还在继续准备立法建议；
3. EB-5法案试图搭车的预算案，尚未出炉；
（3.8草案，据说是Grassley／Goodlatte／Cornyn这三位乡村城市派大佬，一致认可的方案，当然还有很多细节在最后磋商博弈过程中。
现在有一个关键问题是，EB-5能否一定能够搭车预算案：
按照IIUSA的预测大概最晚3月14日预算案就会出炉，先众议院最早于3月16日投票，然后交给参议院修改并投票，以确保3月23日之前，能够搞定。
据美国媒体报道，众多法案都在试图搭车预算案，EB-5能否在众多法案中突围，顺利搭车还有悬念，同时就移民议题而言，满足海外富豪的EB-5能够搭车，而解决DACA那些自小生活在美国的无证移民却无法搭车，国会也会被媒体和民众骂的。
虽然能否搭车还有悬念，但是此次国会立法行动由于在移民局方案落地的压力下，各方都在努力推动该法案落地。
就EB5Sir个人判断，此次立法行动，是15年12.11以来，最为接近可能的一次，因此现在也到了最为关键的最后几天了。
当前，中国EB-5投资者最为痛心的是排期和随之造成的小孩超龄，排期已经连续3个月停滞，而这可能只是严峻形势的刚刚开始，就签证办公室主任Charlie对此次排期停滞的解释是：（18财年）any movement will be very limited，也就是说，就算本财年排期还能前进，那么也是非常有限的。
而当前的EB-5改革草案，由于设立签证预留，将使得排期将延长30%左右，中国EB-5投资者家庭将出现大面积超龄（
个人对此草案的观点还是如此：
1. 不反对通过签证预留，但是预留的签证应该从其他地方获取，否则将照成实质性的立法回溯，中国申请家庭大面积超龄；
2. 如果不能增加签证，那么至少应该可以在申请过程中，在子女年满18岁之后，更换给子女，为美国节约绿卡，并提升移民素质；
3. 问题项目投资者的保护，包括“Material Change－重大变更”的触发条件，应该是I-526获批，而不是登陆获得临时绿卡，否则对长排期中的中国投资者伤害太大；
也期望投资者们应该行动起来，积极联络立法相关人士，将不要损害中国投资者利益的呼声传递出去。
已经有投资者发邮件留言给行业机构和议员们，今天提供一份给投资者朋友们参考（谢谢他的努力）：
他的邮件：
As a EB-5 Chinese investor, I am already very sad to see that I need to wait over 10 years for my visa. Now I hear that the new draft is even going to prolong the waiting time. This is a devastatiing news to me and many other investors like me.
Reserving visa for new applicatants is unfair for all existing applicants. This is equal to encourage people to cut in line. It is unacceptable.
Please consider increasing the visa quota or shortening the waiting time to increase Chinese investors’ confidence to the US.
Regardless of the reasons for promoting EB-5 reforms, at least a minimally acceptable program for EB-5 families that have already invested in and are not free to withdraw is the minimum that the US government that advertised the Beacon of Freedom should do at least. . Abandoning applicants who trust in the United States is not what responsible legislators should do.
This is my proposal for the immigration program.
1. I have no objection to the reservation of visa places, but the reserved signatures should be obtained from other places. Otherwise, they will be traced back to substantive legislation, which will cause China to apply for a large area of family overage;
2. If it is not possible to increase visas, then it should at least be possible during the application process that the main applicant can change to the children after they reach the age of 18, save green cards for the United States, and improve the quality of immigrants;
I expect your consideration and look forward to hearing from you soon.
Thank you very much
议员们的自动回复（虽然无法令人满意）：
IIUSA的回复：
IIUSA就上述第二条给国会的立法提议为：
Visa Backlog: Would drafters be open to creative solutions to relief to EB-5 visa backlog that would not require new visa numbers?
If children were able to take their parents place as principal investor and maintain their priority date, it would not affect the dollars and jobs that benefit the U.S. economy while also reducing the number of individuals waiting for a visa number to be available (as parents of the children would not be eligible for derivative benefits from their child).
业内博主Suzanne就该草案将造成的严重排期问题指出：
The approximately 92,000 people in line for an EB-5 visa. These people are already in for a long wait with an annual quota of about 10,000 visas, and the EB-5 reform act has set-asides that would reduce generally-available visa numbers to about 6,900 per year. The situation will be especially bad for people from China, Vietnam, and possibly India. Those people already in line didn’t plan to wait 17 years or so for conditional green cards — and neither did the projects accepting their investment. The bill does not include on-purpose retroactivity (it doesn’t make TEA, investment amount, or job creation changes apply to people who already filed I-526), but past investors will be severely affected by the visa set-asides, and potentially by new restrictions that affect regional centers and investment projects.
最近，也有投资者提议：
1. 能够白宫请愿（链接地址：https://petitions.whitehouse.gov，哪位投资者若发起请愿，请联系我进行传播，募集10万签名不应该是难事）；并联络美国媒体，要求立法公正。正如Suzanne所言，法案没有回溯条文，但是将造成回溯事实，对已经递交申请的中国／越南乃至印度投资者，这是极其不公平的。
2. 通过相关议员的网页／Facebook和Twitter联系他们，发声音给他们；
3. 联系美国媒体，制造舆论压力；
4. 联系你的项目方／区域中心／律师，让他们为你发声，否则长排期下的退款压力，对任何各方都无力承受；
由于狼来的太多次了，目前都持观望态度的投资者占绝大多数，温水煮青蛙之时更容易因麻痹而被击溃。我们必须认识到，就算此次EB-5不能搭车改革继续延期，此次草案就是日后立法的基础，今天不纠正明天还继续会是隐患。
如果此次，一旦EB-5搭车成功（个人认为非常大可能），那么EB-5法案出台后再行纠正，恐怕更是难上加难了。
因此，无论当前的所有努力是否有用，务必不能放弃尝试。关于主张和行动方式，欢迎留言探讨。
