The big layoffs of CP are not only devastating in the U.S. mainland, but also outside of the U.S., and families staying in the U.S. at the center of the storm are destined to have ups and downs all the way from the start of the student visa.

Trump administration layoffs storm Wave embassies!
Trump Administration Layoff Storm
Embassies!
Recently, the news that the U.S. embassies and consulates in China are going to have major layoffs hit all the major news platforms!
Reuters quoted the South China Morning Post (SCMP) as reporting that the U.S. plans to cut diplomatic staff in China by up to 10 percent, and that not only the Beijing embassy will be affected, but also the consulates general in Guangzhou, Shanghai, Shenyang and Wuhan, and even the Hong Kong consulate is on the list of layoffs. This will be the first major downsizing of a U.S. embassy in China since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China.

Temporary Visas Slow Down Green Cards Face Scheduling
Temporary Visa Slowdown
Green cards face delays
As we all know, the push to reform federal government agencies and cut federal spending is one of the key priorities of Trump 2 0’s agenda. Tens of thousands of federal employees have been laid off since Trump took office. The layoffs have even gone directly to the embassies, and the sharp reduction in embassy staff will affect U.S. visa services in China. As a result of staff streamlining, U.S. visa processing capacity has plummeted, appointment waiting periods have lengthened, and material review has tightened. The U.S. Consulate has made an announcement that it expects visa processing capacity to shrink to half its usual level this summer. At the same time, the U.S. Department of State has adjusted the waiver period for the no-interview renewal policy from no more than 48 months to 12 months, resulting in more applicants needing to make a new appointment for an in-person visa, further exacerbating the tightness of the appointment quota. This will make it even more difficult for students to apply for visas. To add insult to injury, U.S. green cards are also scheduled under the new law, and without the amulet of a green card, the future for students in the U.S. will be even more rocky.

Fast Track Green Card Program Countdown in 6 Months
Fast Track Green Card
6 months countdown
In March 2022, the U.S. passed the new U.S. EB 5 Immigrant Investor Program, which introduced three reserved visa lanes: Rural, Urban High Unemployment, and Infrastructure, with an investment of $800,000 USD, which can be returned to the projects in the above lanes, to obtain a U.S. green card quickly. Through nearly three years of practice, thousands of families have been approved by the immigration application, so that families staying in the U.S. see a quick solution to the status of the problem of the way out.
After the implementation of the new regulations, the number of submissions has increased dramatically, the current urban program has overdrawn the supply of visas in 2027, and the green card waiting period may be as long as 8 years, while the rural program is still popular, but the policy window for obtaining a green card is expected to be only about 6 months left.
USCIS is also aware that the limited immigrant visa quota will face serious challenges, and the old problem of green card waiting time may resurface again, and has issued a scheduling alert in the January Visa Bulletin Board. This can also be said to be an important warning to families staying in the U.S. If you miss this opportunity, you will miss the chance to get a fast track to a U.S. green card.

Whether you want your children to apply to U.S. universities as local students, or you have already graduated but are facing the difficulties of H 1B work visa, for families staying in the U.S., this directly realizes legal work, legal residence, legal accompanying students, and legal round trip, which is a truly favorable policy.

Critical Moment, Smart Choice USCIS Approved Programs
Moment of truth.
Smart Choice Immigration has approved the project
At this critical time, choosing a quality and secure program will help applicants avoid the risks of filing a petition. With the implementation of the new regulations, USCIS has stipulated that
With the new regulations in place, USCIS has established that choosing a quality and secure program will help applicants avoid the risk of applying for a visa when the scheduling period is approaching.
After the implementation of the new rules, the USCIS regulations
Only through the I 956F program approval will the investor’s family immigrant petition be processed.
This means that USCIS has already approved the full set of program template documents for the program. Therefore, when the investor submits the I 526E petition, USCIS will only review the individual source of funds documents.
In other words, choosing a project that has already been approved by I 956F will save the investor time in getting their I 526E petition approved. More importantly, it avoids the risk of having to reapply for a program that has been denied during processing.
The Aspen RH luxury hotel project, represented by Huijia, is an excellent choice to meet the current EB 5 requirements. It is not only a rural project that can enjoy the priority of visa reservation under the new law, but also has been approved by the U.S. Department of Justice. At the same time, the project has been approved by USCIS I 956F, which will save investors’ approval time and avoid application risks.
Meanwhile, the performance of Huijia abroad is evident in the industry. The previously launched market flagship program, Yellowstone Club Series, has been approved by USCIS for more than 240 families as of March 2025, which dominates the market. At the same time, applicants need to note that the USCIS has significantly raised its auditing standards after the new law, so only the more successful cases, the more experienced they will be and the more they will be able to cope with the USCIS’s ever-changing standards.
