The U.S. Department of State has released the December 2025 Visa Bulletin, providing the latest data on visa allocations, Final Action Date and Date for Filing across all visa categories.

Notably, the EB-5 category for Vietnam continues to remain “C” (Current) in both the Final Action Date chart and the Date for Filing chart. This is a highly positive signal, especially as U.S. immigration policies are becoming more restrictive, requiring investors to stay updated and make timely decisions.

1. Overview of the December 2025 Visa Bulletin – EB-5 Category

The EB-5 program is an investment-based immigration pathway designed to attract foreign capital and create jobs for American workers. Each year, 7.1% of the global visa quota is allocated to EB-5, distributed as follows:

• 20% for Rural projects
• 10% for High-Unemployment areas
• 2% for Infrastructure projects
• 68% unreserved and open to all other qualified investors

The December 2025 Visa Bulletin continues to show strong and positive signs for Vietnamese EB-5 investors.

2. Final Action Date – Vietnam Remains “Current” Across All Categories

According to the December 2025 Visa Bulletin, the EB-5 category for Vietnam remains “C” for both reserved and unreserved visa categories.
This means:

• Visas are immediately available
• Investors can submit their applications as soon as they complete the required documents
• No delays or backlog concerns

This further confirms that the EB-5 Rural category continues to be a stable, fast, and secure option in 2025.

3. Date for Filing – Vietnam Continues to Be “Current”

The Date for Filing chart also remains Current.
Vietnamese EB-5 investors:

• Do not need to wait for filing dates to open
• Can submit documents to the NVC at any time
• Benefit from shorter waiting times for visa interview scheduling

4. Advantages for Vietnamese EB-5 Investors When the “Current” Status Is Maintained

✔ No visa limitations

Vietnam is not subject to backlogs like China or India, helping significantly shorten waiting times.

✔ Faster processing

When visas are available, EB-5 applications are processed more quickly, allowing investors and their families to receive green cards sooner.

✔ EB-5 investment amount remains low

The U.S. government is considering increasing the minimum investment to USD 2 million in the coming years.
Investors who file before before September 30, 2026 still qualify for the current level:

• USD 800,000 for TEA projects
• USD 1,050,000 for non-TEA areas

They are also protected under the “grandfathering” provisions of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022.

5. Why Investors Should Apply for EB-5 Now

1. Secure priority position before September 30, 2026

With the number of Vietnamese EB-5 applications rising, filing early helps investors:

• Secure their place in the quota
• Avoid policy risks
• Lock in the current lower investment level

2. Choose reputable projects that ensure job creation

A high-quality EB-5 project must offer:

• Transparent legal structure
• Strong and sustainable job creation
• Clear repayment capacity

3. Benefit from “grandfathering” protection

Applications filed before September 30, 2026 will remain protected even if regulations change later—minimizing legal risks.

Conclusion

The December 2025 Visa Bulletin continues to bring positive news for Vietnamese EB-5 investors as the “C – Current” status remains in both the Final Action Date and Date for Filing charts.

However, application volume increases year after year, which may lead to future changes. To secure benefits and take advantage of the current low investment threshold, investors should:

• Select reputable projects early
