Interest in the EB 5 visa returning with 75 investors from July through September 2020

Following the increase to the minimum investment in a targeted employment area, from US$500,000 to US$900,000 in November 2019 [see here, here and here], interest in the EB-5 immigrant investor visa significantly dropped in early 2020. Data from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) on quarterly filings indicated that only 61 investors filed I-526 Petitions from January through June 2020.

New data just released by USCIS reveals that 75 investors filed I-526 Petitions in the last quarter of 2020 (July through September 2020); more investors than in the previous two quarters combined. This is a good sign that interest in the EB-5 program is returning.

By making a qualifying investment into a business in the U.S., the EB-5 immigrant investor visa can be one of the easiest, quickest ways for a family to immigrate to the United States. Enterline and Partners has years of experience and representing hundreds of investors to navigate through the process.

President-Elect Trump’s Mass Deportation Begins to Take Hold

During the 2024 campaign, former president and candidate Donald J. Trump promised mass deportation for millions on undocumented migrants in the United States. It appears that the campaign pledges are beginning to take hold. Last week, President-elect Trump named Thomas Homan as the “Border Tsar.” Homan, a former police officer and immigration official who previously served during the Obama administration and the first Trump administration as Immigration and Customs Enforcement Director has made it clear that mass deportation will be effectively carried out. “We have a mandate. I think the American people just gave President Trump a mandate. That’s why he’s elected – to secure the border, save lives, and deport people, especially national security threats and public safety threats,” said Homan. Homan commented that the immediate focus will be those in the country illegally with criminal convictions or charges. “It’s not going to be a massive sweep of neighborhoods.

Federal Judge Strikes Down Parole-in-Place Program

A U.S. Federal Court Judge has struck down Parole-in-Place following an earlier decision granting the State of Texas and fifteen (15) other states an administrative stay two months ago. Judge J. Campbell Barker of the Eastern District of Texas ruled that the program, which would fast-track permanent residency to certain undocumented immigrants to obtain lawful permanent residents who are spouses and stepchildren of U.S. citizens, “exceeded its statutory authority and is not in accordance with the law.” Judge Barker further added that the program “focuses on the wrong thing, in identifying ‘significant public benefits’- the benefits of aliens’ new legal status – rather than their presence in the country.” At the time of publishing this article, it is unclear whether the Biden Administration will appeal Judge Barker’s ruling.
