Information Seminar – What does the new EB-5 regulation mean and how will it affect me and my investors?

Wednesday, July 31st, 2019, 10:00 am – Enterline and Partners Consulting Office, 1A Cong Truong Me Linh, District 1, HCMC

As you know, the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program Modernization regulation is scheduled to become effective on November 21, 2019. While some of the regulation is very clear, such as an increase to the minimum investment amount to US$900,000 Targeted Employment Area (“TEA”) and in a Non-TEA to $1.8 million, there are still many issues that are not so clear or obvious.

Join us for an informational seminar where we discuss such issues as:

  1. What happens to my Project after November 21st? Will it still qualify in a TEA? Can the project obtain funding and complete the project? What happens to existing investors if it fails to do so?
  2. What effect will this have on my existing investors who have already filed an I-526 Petition? What if my project changes its offering documents to allow for the increased investment amount?
  3. The rush to file petitions before November 21st – what are the risks? Recent USCIS policy in denying incomplete petitions.
  4. Will this regulation actually take effect in November? What might happen between now and then to stop or delay it?
  5. How to make sure your investor can qualify for the lower investment amount? What are the potential problems, e.g., timing of investment and using an escrow; is the project still in a TEA?
  6. How does the regulation relate to the September 30th sunset of the Immigrant Investor Program?
  7. What does it mean to “retain the Priority Date” of an earlier approved petition? Does my investor have to invest more money? At what amount?

Many of the answers to these questions are not so clear and there are many other questions which have not even been asked. Join us for a discussion of these questions and answers from our experienced EB-5 lawyer David Enterline.

Rural Area In The RIA

In the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”), the term “rural area” is used to identify locations that are eligible for the lower investment threshold of US$800,000 rather than the base investment amount of US$1,050,000.  It is designed to promote investment in infrastructure, development, and economic growth in less populated areas According to the RIA, a “rural area” is any place that is: This concept is important to encourage investment in rural communities that face challenges like lower population densities, restricted access to services, and fewer economic prospects in attracting the economic assistance they need.  In adding rural areas to the EB-5 program, Congress hopes to drive investment to these areas which can benefit from this and other programs designed to address their particular needs.

What is a Form I-130A?

A Form I-130A, Supplemental Information for Spouse Beneficiary, is required in every marriage-based Form I-130, Petition for Alien Relative (“Form I-130”). The supplemental form is submitted with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) at the time of filing the Form I-130 which contains important background details about the foreign spouse. Additionally, it helps confirm the legitimacy of the marriage. For many couples, this form feels like additional burdensome paperwork, but it carries real weight. If the information is incomplete or inconsistent, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence (“RFE”) or delay your case. Hence, it’s worth taking the time to understand what the form asks for and how to complete it correctly. Enterline and Partners has guided countless families through the marriage-based lawful permanent resident “Green Card” process, and we know the common mistakes that can cause problems later.  In this article, we will walk you through who

DHS Ends Automatic EAD Extensions, Emphasizing Vetting and Security

The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (“DHS”) has announced an interim final rule that will significantly change how Employment Authorization Documents (“EADs”) are renewed. Effective October 30, 2025, foreign nationals filing for EAD renewal will no longer receive automatic extensions while their applications are pending—except in limited cases provided by law or under Temporary Protected Status notices. Under the new rule, DHS aims to strengthen screening and vetting procedures before renewing work authorization. The agency notes that this change will allow U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) to review applicants’ backgrounds more frequently, helping to deter fraud and identify individuals who may pose security risks. The USCIS Director, Joseph Edlow, emphasized the administration’s focus on national security, stating that prior policies “prioritized aliens’ convenience ahead of Americans’ safety and security.” He called the new rule “a commonsense measure to ensure all appropriate vetting is completed before extending employment authorization”, underscoring
