The US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has proposed new regulations to formally implement the EB-5 Reform and Integrity Act of 2022, introducing stricter oversight of the EB-5 Regional Center Program and proposing a higher investment threshold for certain projects.
The proposal, scheduled for publication in the Federal Register on July 2, would raise the minimum investment amount for projects located in high employment areas to $1.4 million, compared with the standard investment requirement of $1.05 million. DHS will accept public comments on the proposal for 60 days after publication, according to a report by Fragomen.
