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.

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

What is a Form I-693, Report of Medical Examination and Vaccination Record?

If you are applying for lawful permanent residency (“Green Card”) from within the United States, you have to submit Form I-693, which is a medical exam and vaccination record completed by a specific doctor. Submitting this form shows that you are eligible for a Green Card based on health reasons. Who Can Complete Form I-693? Only a doctor listed on the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) website at www.uscis.gov/tools/find-a-civil-surgeon can perform the exam. How Much Does it Cost to Have the Form I-693 Completed? Rates vary by physician. We encourage you to do your research and compare charges for civil surgeons in your area. When scheduling the appointment, tell the office that it is for an immigration medical examination. What Should I Bring to My Medical Examination Appointment? What Happens at the Appointment? You will sign a certification confirming that the information you provide is true. The civil
