USCIS terminates the designation of over a hundred EB-5 immigrant investor regional centers

  1. Original Date Announced

    January 28, 2025

    The USCIS website indicates that it has terminated more than 750 hundred regional centers from the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program. An immigrant investor regional center is "an economic unit involved with promoting economic growth, designated by USCIS for participation in the Immigrant Investor Program." Under this program, an individual can obtain conditional permanent residence by investing a significant amount of capital in a U.S. business that creates or preserves jobs.

    According to USCIS, regional centers can be terminated for failure to submit required information or if it no longer serves the purpose of promoting economic growth. USCIS explains that termination of a program does not necessarily end the investor's conditional permanent residence. Terminations can be tracked on USCIS's "regional center terminations page."
