Recently, the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) website published the Fall 2018 Unified Agenda of Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions. This includes three new USCIS EB-5 investment immigration regulations: EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program Modernization, EB-5 Regional Center Program regulations, and EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program integrity measures.
Of course, the most highly anticipated aspect is the USCIS "price increase" administrative reform regulation. Although the planned release date has changed several times, it has consistently remained a primary concern for investors. According to the published plan, RIN 1615-AC07, "EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program Modernization," aims to revise the definition of Targeted Employment Areas (TEA) and adjust the minimum investment amounts. The final rule is scheduled for release in November 2018.
In other words, the USCIS EB-5 administrative reform regulations may be issued in November. Once these administrative reforms are implemented, a major impact on investors will be: a significant increase in the minimum investment amount. At that time, the minimum investment for a Targeted Employment Area (TEA) is expected to rise from $500,000 to $1.35 million, and the investment for non-TEA projects is expected to rise from $1 million to $1.8 million.
Therefore, for investors, the only option is to seize the opportunity, apply as early as possible, and choose high-quality projects to catch the last train for U.S. immigration at the $500,000 price point. Once the optimal window for application is missed, the loss will be far more than just financial!
Naturally, while selecting high-quality projects, investors should also choose those that have already received USCIS approval, offer the potential to shorten visa backlogs, have completed all job creation requirements, and provide first-priority repayment guarantees. These advantages will greatly protect the interests of investors and assist them in successfully immigrating to the United States.
Currently, the highly popular EB-5 projects offered by Worldway Group—the Manhattan No. 9 Luxury Boutique Hotel and Dallas No. 1—are rare, high-quality opportunities. Do not miss this chance to catch the $500,000 low-price immigration window; please submit your application as soon as possible. Good projects do not wait, and green card applications should be made early. Please call us for consultation at 400-138-2929.
