EB5 Investors: USCIS Launches New $20K Fee for EB-5 Regional Centers, Managing Partner Bernie Wolfsdorf Responds

Mar 7, 2023 | Investor Visas

The Department of Homeland Security has posted a Federal Register notice alerting EB-5 stakeholders that the USCIS will begin collecting funds for the EB-5 Integrity Fund to administer the EB-5 Regional Center Program, as required by the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022.

In their blog piece analyzing this update, EB5 Investors Magazine staff reached out to WR Managing Partner Bernie Wolfsdorf for comment. In the article, Wolfsdorf states, “[t]he decision by USCIS to collect a $20,000 Integrity Fee from regional centers in addition to all the other fees collected, is highway robbery, especially when coupled with the threat to terminate the designation of any regional center that does not pay the fee within 90 days of the due date.”

USCIS Confirms Validity of Previously Designated EB-5 Regional Centers

More Clarification Needed from USCIS to Overcome Uncertainties Related to Impact of the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act BREAKING: The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has confirmed that there was no lapse in EB-5 Immigrant Investor Regional Center authority from July 1, 2021, to March 15, 2022, and that pre-existing regional centers remain valid as of today.  USCIS also stated that entities seeking to be designated as a new regional center are required to file Form I-956, Application for Regional Center Designation. It appears that USCIS will provide a Q&A regarding new I-526, Immigrant Petition by Alien Entrepreneur filings in the near future.  WR Immigration attorneys hope USCIS provides clarification on whether new immigrant investors can file Form I-526s for investments in “exemplar approved” projects without an I-956F, Application for Approval of an Investment in a Commercial Enterprise receipt notice.  WR Immigration attorneys believe the plain language of the new EB-5 law does not require this but it’s unclear how USCIS will interpret. As such from a conservative point of view, WR Immigration recommends that regional centers submit a Form I-956F so immigrant investors have one less gray area of concern regarding this rapidly-changing new landscape of EB-5.  This […]

What Does the December 2021 Visa Bulletin Mean for New “Direct” EB-5 Investors?

The December 2021 Visa Bulletin states that the EB-5 direct visa categories have become “Current” for December 2021, including for nationals born in mainland-China or India or Vietnam.  This means that “direct’ EB-5 investors with Form I-526 approvals at this time can immediately apply for an immigrant visa at a U.S. Consulate or Embassy or adjust status if in the United States and otherwise eligible. However, it is not technically correct to say that there is “no waiting line” for China-mainland direct EB-5, as we do not know what future Visa Bulletins will indicate when a direct I-526 case filed today is eventually approved.  It remains to be seen whether this “current” status will hold, and for how long. Many experts believe this designation of China and India and Vietnam being current for direct cases will not last because its likely the regional center program will be re-authorized soon and then demand will pick up again resulting in massive retrogression for China, Vietnam and possibly India as well. The Visa Bulletin specifically notes that when the EB-5 Regional Center program is reauthorized, there would be significantly more demand for EB-5 visas at that time (in particular for mainland-China):  “If China-mainland […]
