USCIS UPDATES GUIDANCE ON EB-5 REGIONAL CENTER PROGRAM

On October 26, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) updated the USCIS Policy Manual with new guidance on the EB-5 Regional Center Program. USCIS also released new content on regional center designation and obligations, project applications, and direct and third-party promoters. The new guidance is effective immediately and is controlling and supersedes any related prior guidance. This update incorporates changes from the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 into the Policy Manual and elaborates on the initial update released on October 6, 2022. It also updates the chapter on the adjudication of investor petitions for classification and registration. USCIS will continue to update the public on evolving EB-5 guidelines.
