EB-5 Program Developments
We’re committed to providing you with timely and comprehensive information regarding the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, keeping you informed and up-to-date on the latest news, trends, and insights. In light of the expiration of the EB-5 Program on June 30, 2021, we launched our blog series to assist and guide our investors and partners during this complex and uncertain period while the program was in limbo.
In March 2022, a significant milestone was achieved in the history of our industry, as Congress introduced new legislation known as the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (RIA). This legislation marked a pivotal moment for the EB-5 Program, bringing welcomed improvements. However, it is important to note that certain aspects of the RIA still lack clear guidance, and some provisions of the law remain unimplemented.
Through our meticulously curated blog posts on the developments of the EB-5 Program, we aim to provide valuable content that aids investors, immigration attorneys, agents, and regional centers in comprehending the intricacies of the Program. Our internal team of experts, along with esteemed guest contributors, closely monitor and analyze the latest developments, policy + legislative changes, and industry trends. Our goal is to ensure that you remain well-informed about the ever-evolving landscape of the EB-5 Program.
By staying connected with us, you will gain a deeper understanding of the EB-5 Program and learn how to navigate and succeed in this dynamic environment.
