EB-5 has been modified and improved multiple times since it was first created in 1990, most recently through the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (RIA).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>EB-5 Changes Must be Authorized Through Congress: <\/strong>The EB-5 program is codified into law, with the regional center program reauthorized by Congress through 2027 via the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022 (RIA). Any changes to the program can only be made through Congressional action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Investment Amounts Cannot Change Overnight:<\/strong> While the Gold Card proposal would entail a significant hike in investment thresholds for immigration-by-investment visas, changes to investment thresholds, outside of the automatic increases based upon the consumer price index commencing on January 1, 2027, must be made through Congressional action.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Current and Prospective Investor Protections under the RIA: <\/strong>The RIA includes provisions that protects investors that have filed an I-526E petition by September 30, 2026.\u00a0This clause, commonly referred to as the grandfathering of petitions, provides protections to investors that file petitions prior to September 30, 2026 against a termination of the EB-5 program. Legally, this means USCIS must continue processing petitions that applicants file prior to the aforementioned date, even if the EB-5 program were to be discontinued.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The latest updates on President Trump\u2019s \u201cGold Card\u201d proposal and how it relates to EB-5 On February 25, 2025, the Trump Administration announced their intent to introduce a \u201cGold Card\u201d, which allegedly grants permanent residency in the United States to eligible candidates for a price of $5 million USD.
