About Cabling Installation & Maintenance

Our mission: Bringing practical business and technical intelligence to today's structured cabling professionals

For more than 30 years, Cabling Installation & Maintenance has provided useful, practical information to professionals responsible for the specification, design, installation and management of structured cabling systems serving enterprise, data center and other environments. These professionals are challenged to stay informed of constantly evolving standards, system-design and installation approaches, product and system capabilities, technologies, as well as applications that rely on high-performance structured cabling systems. Our editors synthesize these complex issues into multiple information products. This portfolio of information products provides concrete detail that improves the efficiency of day-to-day operations, and equips cabling professionals with the perspective that enables strategic planning for networks’ optimum long-term performance.

Throughout our annual magazine, weekly email newsletters and 24/7/365 website, Cabling Installation & Maintenance digs into the essential topics our audience focuses on.

  • Design, Installation and Testing: We explain the bottom-up design of cabling systems, from case histories of actual projects to solutions for specific problems or aspects of the design process. We also look at specific installations using a case-history approach to highlight challenging problems, solutions and unique features. Additionally, we examine evolving test-and-measurement technologies and techniques designed to address the standards-governed and practical-use performance requirements of cabling systems.
  • Technology: We evaluate product innovations and technology trends as they impact a particular product class through interviews with manufacturers, installers and users, as well as contributed articles from subject-matter experts.
  • Data Center: Cabling Installation & Maintenance takes an in-depth look at design and installation workmanship issues as well as the unique technology being deployed specifically for data centers.
  • Physical Security: Focusing on the areas in which security and IT—and the infrastructure for both—interlock and overlap, we pay specific attention to Internet Protocol’s influence over the development of security applications.
  • Standards: Tracking the activities of North American and international standards-making organizations, we provide updates on specifications that are in-progress, looking forward to how they will affect cabling-system design and installation. We also produce articles explaining the practical aspects of designing and installing cabling systems in accordance with the specifications of established standards.

Global Immigration Partners Announces Major EB-5 Green Card Update: New Visa Bulletin and Legal Clarifications Bring Encouraging News for Investors

Global Immigration Partners, a leading U.S. and global immigration law firm, is pleased to provide timely guidance following the August 2025 U.S. Visa Bulletin

-- Global Immigration Partners Announces Major EB-5 Green Card Update: New Visa Bulletin and Legal Clarifications Bring Encouraging News for Investors

Global Immigration Partners, a leading U.S. and global immigration law firm, is pleased to provide timely guidance following the August 2025 U.S. Visa Bulletin, which brings significant movement and clarity to the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program.

1. EB-5 Green Card Process

The EB‑5 program enables foreign applicants to obtain conditional permanent residence (Green Card) by filing Form I‑526 (or I‑526E for Regional Center pathways). After two years of conditional status, they file Form I‑829 to remove conditions and secure permanent residence

2. EB-5 Investment Amounts

Under current law, the minimum required investment is $1,050,000, or $800,000 if investing in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA). These thresholds, rooted in the EB‑5 Reform and Integrity Act (RIA) of 2022, are highly searched and remain critical benchmarks.

3. Targeted Employment Area (TEA)

A TEA—either a rural area or one with high unemployment—allows investors to qualify with the lower $800,000 investment. TEA designation continues to be a key driver in project selection due to this cost-saving advantage.

4. Forms I-526 / I-526E

  • Form I‑526 is the primary petition for EB‑5 investors.
  • Form I‑526E is used by investors applying via Regional Centers, which allow indirect job counting.

5. Form I-829 (Removal of Conditions)

Upon expiration of the two‑year conditional Green Card, investors file Form I‑829 to remove conditions by proving their investment is sustained and that 10 jobs were created or preserved

6. Source of Funds

USCIS closely scrutinises source-of-funds documentation for EB‑5 investments. The 2024 USCIS Policy Manual update reinforced the need for rigorous due diligence and compliance to avoid sanctions such as termination or debarment.

7. Regional Center vs. Direct Investment

  • Regional Center: Investors can pool funds into approved centers and count indirect job creation.
  • Direct Investment: Investors manage their own enterprise, typically needing to create jobs directly. Both paths remain viable and chosen based on an investor’s preference for oversight, control, and project risk appetite.

8. Two-Year Conditional Green Card

EB‑5 grants conditional permanent residence for two years. Within 90 days before expiry, investors must submit I‑829 to remove conditions and gain full Green Card status.

9. Backlog / Visa Bulletin / Priority Date

The August 2025 Visa Bulletin provides a major boost:

  • China (Unreserved): Final Action Date advanced by ~685 days to December 8, 2015.
  • India (Unreserved): Advanced by ~198 days to November 15, 2019. This signals renewed visa availability for previously backlogged applicants, offering renewed hope for Green Card adjudications this fiscal year.

10. Advantages / Benefits of EB-5

  • Provides a path to U.S. residency (and eventually citizenship) through investment.
  • Offers lower investment thresholds when qualifying in TEAs.
  • Allows indirect job crediting via Regional Centers.
  • Investors gain two‑year conditional status, with opportunity to make America home.
  • The RIA adds program safeguards, clearer pathways for good‑faith investors, and stronger oversight—enhancing program integrity.
