New EB-5 Regulations Effective as of November 21, 2019

On Thursday November 21, 2019, the “EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program Modernization Rule” went into effect 120 days after the final rule was published. The final rule makes regulatory changes to the EB-5 Regional Center Program as we have written previously (Regulation change to EB-5 will increase the minimum investment to $900,000). The most important changes for investors is the increase of the minimum investment amount to US$1.8 million or US$900,000 if in a Targeted Employment Area (“TEA”) which also included a new method of determining how areas might quality as a Targeted Employment Area.

This latter change has removed a vast majority of EB-5 projects from qualifying as Targeted Employment Areas. Few investors seeking to obtain U.S. lawful permanent residence via the EB-5 visa category will choose to investment US$1.8 million versus the lower US$900,000 investment.

Can My K-1 Fiancé(e) Visit the U.S. on a Tourist Visa While Waiting?

Waiting for a K-1 fiancé(e) visa to be processed often results in spending a considerable amount of time apart. If you have already filed your Form I-129F, Petition for Alien Fiancé(e) (“Form I-129F”) with the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”), you may wonder whether your fiancé(e) can travel to the United States while the process moves forward. Your fiancé(e) may be able to visit the U.S. on a B-1/B-2 Visitor Visa (“Tourist Visa”) while waiting for a K-1 fiancé(e) visa. However, he/she must independently qualify for a Tourist Visa by convincing the interviewing consular officer that he/she intends to depart the United States after their visit. At Enterline and Partners, our U.S. immigration attorneys help couples navigate the K-1 visa  fiancé(e)process.  Can You Visit the U.S. While Your K-1 Fiancé(e) Visa Is Pending? Yes.

Regional Center Annual Statements And Sanctions

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) requires Regional Centers to file annual statements with U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”). The statements cover a range of matters, from the use of EB-5 investment funds to the status of projects sponsored by the Regional Center. Regional Center Annual Statements A Regional Center’s annual statement must include certifications that it has complied with certain requirements under the RIA. It must also disclose any material litigation or bankruptcy proceedings involving the Regional Center, a New Commercial Enterprise (“NCE”), or an affiliated Job-Creating Entity (“JCE”).

What to Do on Your First Day Entering the United States as a New Immigrant
