What Is The EB-5 Reform And Integrity Act of 2022?

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) made significant changes to the U.S. EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. This program enables international investors and their immediate family members to apply for U.S. Permanent Residency and obtain “green cards” by making a significant investment in a U.S. company and creating jobs for U.S. workers.

The primary features of the RIA include:

  1. The EB-5 Regional Center Program has been reauthorized and improved for better stability;
  2. An increase in the program’s minimum investment requirements;
  3. Changes to the criterion for Targeted Employment Areas;
  4. Strengthened integrity procedures to improve the program’s transparency and security;
  5. The creation of new Reserved Visa categories;
  6. Investors in the program will benefit from enhanced protections;

This is the first article in a series in which we will explain every aspect of the RIA and how it may impact foreign nationals and international investors that are considering making an investment into the U.S. to obtain Lawful Permanent Residence for themselves and their qualify family members. Stay tuned for further articles coming soon.

Establishment Of An EB-5 Regional Center

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) introduced significant changes to the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, including changes to the establishment and oversight of Regional Centers. A Regional Center’s establishment represents a strategic effort to stimulate economic growth by drawing in foreign investment and generating employment opportunities within a designated geographic area. A business or development project (“Project”) that is sponsored by a Regional Center gains several key advantages.  The most important is the ability to count indirect and induced job creation through economic modeling.  This makes it easier for foreign investors in the EB-5 Program to show the creation of 10 jobs based on their investment.  A Project can also pool multiple EB-5 investor’s capital for funding which allows developers to raise more foreign capital for its development project.  A Regional Center sponsored Project is now required to submit a comprehensive application in advance to United States

F4 Visa Bulletin Update: Waiting Time for Family-Based Sibling Immigration

The U.S. immigration system provides a specific pathway for U.S. citizens to sponsor their siblings for lawful permanent residency (“Green Card.”) The Family-Based Fourth Preference (F4) category is dedicated to the brothers and sisters of adult U.S. citizens ages twenty-one (21) and above. While this is a popular route for family reunification, the F4 category visa waiting time is historically the longest in the system due to annual caps and high global demand. How the Wait Time is Shown on the U.S. Visa Bulletin The wait time for an immigrant visa in the F4 category is determined by the United States Department of State’s Visa Bulletin. The Visa Bulletin lists the priority date for each preference category, which is the date on which the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) received the Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative (“Form I-130”) filed by the U.S. Citizen petitioner on behalf of
