Chatting with Charlie | EB 5 Investor Outlook | August 2025

In this webinar (live streamed via Zoom on July 30, 2025), WR Partner Joey Barnett is joined by Charles Oppenheim, former Chief of the Visa Control Office at the U.S. Department of State, to discuss the latest EB-5 trends and developments. The conversation covers updated data on reserved and unreserved visa usage, including significant shortfalls in reserved visa processing and the implications for investors from China, India, Vietnam, and the rest of the world. Topics include the August 2025 Visa Bulletin, final FY2024 visa usage reports from the State Department, and projections for FY2025. Charlie offers insights on final action date movement, the growing invisible backlog, and the long-term impact of underutilization in the reserved categories. This is a must-watch for investors and stakeholders who want a clear understanding of the current challenges in the EB-5 program and what to expect in the coming months.
