Regional Center Program extended to November 21, 2019

The EB-5 Immigrant Visa Program (also known as Regional Center Program) was extended through November 21, 2019 as part of a greater Continuing Resolution passed by Congress and signed by the President.  The Continuing Resolution is primarily to extend funding of the federal government beyond September 30, 2019.

Passed in 1993, The EB-5 Regional Center Program has already been a pilot – or temporary – program and has never been made permanent law.  It has continued to be extended from time to time, although in more recent years, it has been extended multiple times during each year, always along with the bills to fund the U.S. government.

Under the updated rules, the standard investment amount required for the EB-5 program has increased from $1 million to $1.05 million. For investments in Targeted Employment Areas (TEAs), which include rural areas or those with high unemployment, the minimum investment rises from $500,000 to $800,000.  The original investment amounts had not been increased since the EB-5 program was created in 1990.

DOS Will Now Require Immigrant Visa Applicants to Interview in Place of Residence or Country of Nationality

The United States Department of State (“DOS”) is now requiring immigrant visa applicants to apply for immigrant visas in the consular district designated for their place of residence or in their country of nationality. Effective immediately, if an immigrant visa applicant would like to transfer his or her pending immigrant visa case to a new consular district after the National Visa Center (“NVC”) has scheduled an interview appointment, the applicant should contact the NVC directly through the public inquiry form and not the Embassy or Consulate. In addition, if an immigrant visa applicant requests to be interviewed at an Embassy or Consulate outside their country of nationality, the NVC may request additional information to confirm that the location is the applicant’s place of residence or to confirm if an exception may be warranted. The DOS may make rare exceptions for humanitarian, medical emergencies, or other foreign policy considerations. For more
