The United States Customs and Border Protection Agency and the Department of State have extended the ability of U.S. citizens to travel to the United States on expired passports through March 31, 2022. As with the previous policy scheduled to expire on December 31, 2021, travelers must meet the following conditions to qualify for this exemption:

  • A U.S. citizen;
  • Currently abroad seeking to return to the United States;
  • Flying directly to the United States, a U.S. territory, or have short-term transit (connecting flight) in a foreign country on their way to the United States;
  • The expired U.S. passport was originally valid for ten (10) years or five (5) years if issued to a U.S. citizen who was under 15 years of age;
  • The expired passport is still in their possession and remains undamaged.

In line with current protocol from the United States Centers for Disease Control, all U.S. bound air travelers, including U.S. citizens, must present proof of a negative COVID-19 test result taken within 24 hours of departure.

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.

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
