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.

Priority Processing for Investments Made In Rural Areas

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) establishes priority processing for rural areas, ensuring that Form I-526/I-526E Petitions (“Petitions”) filed for business or projects in these areas are expedited. Under this provision, Petitions for EB-5 investments in rural areas shall be prioritized in processing and adjudication, allowing investors and project developers in these areas to benefit from faster review times and reduced delays. Any Rural or High-unemployment area identified by the Secretary of Homeland Security is considered a Targeted Employment Area (“TEA”). Rural areas are those located outside the geographic boundaries of a metropolitan statistical area and outside cities or towns with a population of 20,000 or more, based on the most recent decennial census. This classification is to encourage EB-5 investments into target areas that are genuinely rural and in need of economic stimulation. Priority processing for rural areas supports the EB-5 program’s broader goal of stimulating

Know Your Rights: What to Do if You Are Detained at a U.S. Port of Entry (for Lawful Permanent Residents)

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. While LPRs enjoy greater rights than nonimmigrants when returning to the United States after travel abroad, all noncitizens now face increased scrutiny at the border for past immigration issues, interactions with police, and political activity. It is important that you know your rights when returning to the United States. Secondary Inspection: If questions arise and CBP is unable to admit you quickly, you may be taken to a separate area for “secondary inspection.” Being sent for a secondary inspection by itself does not necessarily mean you are in trouble, but you may be held anywhere from a few minutes to several hours or longer. During secondary inspection, CBP
