Updated for 2025: Heightened Enforcement at Ports of Entry Like all international travelers, lawful permanent residents (LPRs)—also known as Green Card holders—are subject to inspection by U.S. Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) when arriving at an airport or land port of entry.

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.
