Reauthorization and Stability From The RIA

The Reauthorization and Stability section of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) focuses on the continuation and enhancement of the EB-5 Regional Center Program, which had previously lapsed in 2021. The Regional Center Program is a part of the EB-5 Immigrant Investor  Program passed by the U.S. Congress in 1990.  It allows foreign investors to qualify for U.S. permanent residency by making qualifying investments in designated regional centers sponsored businesses and projects that create jobs for U.S. workers.

The Regional Center Program had always been a “pilot” or temporary program.  The reauthorization extended the Regional Center Program for five years, providing stability and predictability for both investors and businesses participating in the program. In addition, the Act introduces new safeguards to enhance oversight and ensure compliance with federal regulations. This includes stricter requirements for Regional Centers, such as increased transparency through regular reporting, regular audits, and improved tracking of investments and job creation. The RIA also mandates the creation of a database to monitor Regional Center compliance and the performance of EB-5 projects.

These measures are designed to restore confidence in the program, prevent fraud, and maintain the program integrity, which is essential for attracting future foreign investment to support U.S. job growth and economic development.

Establishment Of An EB-5 Regional Center

The EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (“RIA”) introduced significant changes to the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, including changes to the establishment and oversight of Regional Centers. A Regional Center’s establishment represents a strategic effort to stimulate economic growth by drawing in foreign investment and generating employment opportunities within a designated geographic area. A business or development project (“Project”) that is sponsored by a Regional Center gains several key advantages.  The most important is the ability to count indirect and induced job creation through economic modeling.  This makes it easier for foreign investors in the EB-5 Program to show the creation of 10 jobs based on their investment.  A Project can also pool multiple EB-5 investor’s capital for funding which allows developers to raise more foreign capital for its development project.  A Regional Center sponsored Project is now required to submit a comprehensive application in advance to United States

F4 Visa Bulletin Update: Waiting Time for Family-Based Sibling Immigration

The U.S. immigration system provides a specific pathway for U.S. citizens to sponsor their siblings for lawful permanent residency (“Green Card.”) The Family-Based Fourth Preference (F4) category is dedicated to the brothers and sisters of adult U.S. citizens ages twenty-one (21) and above. While this is a popular route for family reunification, the F4 category visa waiting time is historically the longest in the system due to annual caps and high global demand. How the Wait Time is Shown on the U.S. Visa Bulletin The wait time for an immigrant visa in the F4 category is determined by the United States Department of State’s Visa Bulletin. The Visa Bulletin lists the priority date for each preference category, which is the date on which the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (“USCIS”) received the Form I-130 Petition for Alien Relative (“Form I-130”) filed by the U.S. Citizen petitioner on behalf of
