RC Countdown

On March 15, 2022, the United States enacted the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (the 2022 Act) as part of a large omnibus budget package of legislation. It provides a 5-year reauthorization of the Regional Center Program with substantial changes, marking an achievement long-awaited by the Regional Center industry.
Takeaways
  • For all new filings, the minimum investment is $800,000 in a Targeted Employment Area (TEA), either rural (same definition as before, but now they receive priority in USCIS processing) or high unemployment (using narrower “bulls eye” definition from the 2019 regulations).
  • High unemployment TEAs are determined only by USCIS and are valid for two years from project request filing, renewable in two-year increments.
  • The $800,000 amount can also be used in “infrastructure projects” in which a government entity contracts for EB-5 financing to develop public works (something like a private municipal bond deal) even if not located in a TEA. Otherwise, the minimum is $1,050,000 (a $250K spread).
  • Amounts increase with inflation every 5 years.
